WH: GOP Must Stop 'My Way or the Highway' Budget Negotiations
Breibart - Big Government ^ | 4-7-2013 | Ben Shapiro

Projecting madly, the White House on Sunday pushed the notion that Republican intransigence is the reason that Democrats have been unable to pass a budget during President Obama’s tenure. “Right now,” said senior White House advisor Dan Pfeiffer on Fox News Sunday, “the approach of many Republicans, particularly the leadership in the House, is my way or the highway.”

This is certainly rich coming from an administration that has failed to garner a single “yes” vote on its budget proposals for the past several years, even from members of its own party. Continuing to push forward President Obama’s Ahab-like quest for tax increases above all other priorities, Pfeiffer said that all entitlement reform would have to be tied to higher taxes. “You can do both,” he said on ABC’s This Week. “That’s what you’ll see … What we won’t do is cut our way to prosperity.” Why cutting government expenditures would require raising taxes remains unanswered.

You know, to get a good read on where the White House is at, simply listen to what they accuse the other side of.

With a budget the Republicans have the power of the purse. They need to use it.
