I’m just saying Congress cannot have it both ways.
We have this attitude that the Executive is the root of all evil. No. It’s the Congress.
We do have that attitude, and it is deleterious. For instance fellow Freepers often make me cringe with embarrassment when they rant about Obama the evil, Marxist, Kenyan, Muslim, usurper. Come on, he’s just one guy. It’s not even accurate to say he forms his own policy, let alone his party’s or the leftists’ as a whole. Certainly he’s not responsible fir the landslide into the pit of statism iver the last 80, 100, or 150 years. And Al Gore or John Edwards might’ve been worse.
That being said, there are things you just can’t do. Congress shouldn’t twist itself into a prezel, but if they do the president can’t step up like the only adult in the room and decide for them.
If and when the Senate allows a budget to be passed then you would be correct.
As well, a budget passed by leftists before they were kicked out in 2010 is still being used as the basis for government spending today. The new House has yet to even have the chance to cut spending.
With no budget appropriations passed the government has been operating on continuing resolutions that maintain spending that actually has increases built into it.
Right now the House can do nothing to cut and control spending except NOT extend the debt ceiling -every other action requires Senate cooperation and the leftist controlled Senate does not want to cut spending...
