The House on Thursday approved a $3.45 trillion budget blueprint that largely supports President Obama's proposal after defeating a Republican alternative that slashed spending and taxes.

“House Republicans voted unanimously against the budget.
Too bad this did no good.
If the GOP did not submit a balanced budget, they are just flapping their lips.
Maybe I'll start investing in wheelbarrows.
Better to invest in gold.
“House Republicans voted unanimously against the budget.”
Good for them. Damn the rest.
Sometimes, a thing that leaves a bad taste in the mouth outweighs choking down something far worse.
Do they even debate these budgets anymore?
The American Bankruptcy bill. When this budget is Law America will be worthless. Thanks Obama. I guess he will blame the coming 40 percent inflation rate on Bush too... If Republicans were smart they would get some Inflation time lines up and explain how those percentage ticks on inflation are serious impacts to low income and middle income Americans.
Were any democrats brave enough to vote against it?
Debate?! At this point, it’s a miracle if they even read the first few pages of legislation!
Anyone who is not going to a tea party on the 15th to voice their outrage at this spending, get with like minded folks to start working out the details about who gets on the tickets, and get ready to march on washington is part of the problem, not the solution. Our forefathers put their necks on the line, we cannot do less and be worthy of this country as it was founded.
I, for one, am getting out there and fighting for the government we and our families deserve!
cause he wont debate it.
They have lost their Marxist minds. This is the most out of whack, upside down, spend crazy president and Congress EVER. I wonder how many idiots who bought the “change and hope” empty rhetoric of the zero are sorry now.
Time to shift my IRA over to gold.
Republicans are almost as socialist and twice as stupid as Democrats. We can’t win with the ‘leadership’ in the Republican Party.
About $2,000,000,000,000.
They don’t debate anything anymore. Reid and Pelosi do not allow it. With their huge majorities, they are just rushing every liberal wish through.
It is sickening.
Good. As a result of this bill, the country sinks into depression, and the GOP will come roaring back in 2010.
I don’t know yet.
I talked to Wasserman-Schultz’s office about this bill today. I asked a staffer how we were going to pay a billion a day on the debt when we do not collect that much in taxes. I got “We are confident that blah blah blah”. I asked how they could take something so serious on blind faith.
I asked if the staffer would run up credit card debt to a rate where the interest would exceed her salary. She said “Of course not”. I asked why the congresswoman was doing it with my money and she actually said “there is no one in the office right now that can answer that question”
