President Obama said Monday he will reject any budget from Congress that doesn’t boost spending on both defense and his own domestic priorities, saying the spending “sequesters” need to go.
“America can’t afford being short-sighted and I’m not going to allow it,” the president said while speaking at the Homeland Security Department as he released his $4 trillion budget for fiscal 2016.
His budget calls for boosting discretionary spending by more than 6 percent, and raising taxes to pay for it.
Those proposals have been panned on Capitol Hill, where Republicans control both the House and Senate and have rejected the president’s vision of using the tax system to redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor.

Yep, they’re complicit. There’s no other explanation. They’ll say “We’ll do it our way once we win the White House in 2016.” Then when they lose in 2016 they’ll say “Too many tea partiers stayed home.”
Put the monkey on his back.
So sorry - it’s settled law.
0bama Budget:
D.O.A.
But I thought the economy was great. If it is great, current spending caused it. Either things or great or they are not.
Odumbo and his ilk sent that budget knowing it would be rejected, doing so will keep things just the way the demodummies wanted thus no budget to contend with, just SPEND!!!!
Exactly, bury the idiot in paper and have a press conference everytime he vetoes a bill.
Those would be Obama's sequester plan? Or is he going to rewrite history and blame the sequester on Republicans, which he's already tried to do?

This time, take the bulk of the sequester out of "gibsmedat" programs. We can't afford to keep gutting the military.
No offense, but you’re (and I’m calling out most on FR here) rebuttal is 5 steps ahead of where it should begin:
One cannot loot what/where one does not (Constitutionally) have authority.
Repeal, rescind, abolish....Then start the debate.
But, I concur with your indignation
OK, you have a deal. When do we start?
Right now.
Where?
SNAP, TANF, AFDC, SSDI, Section 8 housing ... first thing to do is mandate that illegal aliens are INELIGIBLE for these things.
Which state are you the Senator for? ;-]
I represent the Great State of Inebriation ... I think it’s the 58th State ... not sure ...
“Fine. Then we’ll stick with the sequester.”
Yes, but......
With the Uniparty, all evil is always on the table.
That's "You Need Party" to you. ;-(
How about "Screw You". Does "Screw You" work for you? No? Then how about "Screw You", instead. How's that. Does that work? No? Okay, then: "Screw You".
Yes, the WT website is suck.
If we still had HONEST MONEY, none of this crap would be going on.
“When the servants of the people are paid with something other than that which the people themselves have produced (i.e. the real, tangible products of their labors or some fixed and real medium of that exchange), the roles of master and servant will be reversed.”
That was Thomas Jefferson warning that the financial disaster we now face would be but one of many problems paper money would visit upon us if we allowed our “leaders” to remove the backing from the currency.
It was believed by Roger Sherman and a majority of those at the Constitutional Convention that unbacked fiat currency would so damage the fabric of the nation that they ATTEMPTED to prohibit it with these few words at Article 1, Section 10, requiring the states to enforce the prohibition: “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;”
If the people and their states grew inattentive to this matter (and they have!), Jefferson also saw another problem ahead.
In a letter to John Taylor in 1816, he wrote, “And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”
We have been “…swindling futurity…” for a long time and this is now where we find ourselves. If the government, through its banker masters at the Federal Reserve, can create “money” from thin air, they certainly don’t need ours every April 15th. That annual sheep shearing is simply an attempt to vacuum enough of the excess paper from the system to keep the rest of us from catching on to the biggest theft ring in the history of man. They have now created so much that their attempt is failing and failing badly to a point where all but the dullest among us (Obama voters and his growing cadres of personal and corporate welfare beneficiaries) are starting to “get it.”
If you understood that last paragraph, you can now make the small leap to an understanding as to why the “progressive” utopian welfare state hacks in Washington don’t give a damn WHAT you think. Their power to create all the “money” they need to fuel their infernal machine and fill the gaping maws of enough of those growing hoards of welfare constituents to assure their perpetual re-election means that — ready — THEY NO LONGER NEED YOU! They have become, as Mr. Jefferson predicted, our MASTERS.
And this is for you who believe that we’re ALL equally screwed under this dishonest, fraudulent fiat money system: Inflation DOES NOT impact everyone at the same time and level. THOSE WHO GET THEIR HANDS ON THAT “MONEY” FIRST – BEFORE THE INFLATION ERODES ITS VALUE – SUFFER FAR LESS THAN THOSE OF US FURTHER DOWN THE FOOD CHAIN. THINK ABOUT IT (unless you’re an obama voter, in which case, let us know how you FEEL about that).
We won’t have even a CHANCE at an honest government until we again have HONEST MONEY.
That they are taking down a nation and a system that has provided more wealth, safety and abundance to more people than any other in history matters not to them. Failing to grasp the lesson of the French Revolution, they believe themselves to be above the impending disaster.
We’re running out of time to get this increasingly rapacious beast back into the cage from which we have carelessly allowed it to escape.

PS: I was a 3 year member of the national board of CATS (Citizens for an Alternative Tax System), the precursor to the current Fair Tax organization. I fully support the concept of a CONSUMPTION TAX over the current Marxist INCOME TAX. That said, UNTIL WE GET BACK TO HONEST “MONEY”, WERE REARRANGING DECK CHAIRS ON A SINKING SHIP.
PPS: A word about the brilliance of this scheme hatched in 1913 by the elites: Economics is called “the dismal science” for a reason. Freepers are a pretty sharp group, and most who get this far will grasp the importance of getting back to a Constitutionally sound money system. But hand this to the “guy on the street” and his eyes will glaze over, he’d start drooling before he hit the third paragraph, throw it down, declare you crazy and stomp off in search of a much needed drink. We can’t solve a problem until more of us recognize that there IS ONE!
