Notice that it is Obama briefing the press on budget negotiations.

This is because Harry Reid has refused to provide a Democrat budget in the Senate.

Wouldn't these kinds of negotiations be expected to be between the House and the Senate?

Wasn't it just last year that they were talking about using the "budget reconciliation" process to force the Democrat agenda on us?

Now, suddenly, there is no Democrat budget to reconcile, no House/Senate budget reconciliation process, only the House and Obama?

What is so hard to understand about a principled stand against a policy of statist larceny even if I’m supposed to somehow be the beneficiary of this larceny?

Every single day, more marxist leninist propaganda from these jerks. I am so sick of it.

How can we get rid of them now? I do not think we will survive 500+ more days of these criminals.

“suddenly, there is no Democrat budget to reconcile, no House/Senate budget reconciliation process, only the House and Obama?”

Good point.

The Senate is useless except to single-handedly authorize 0bama’s and the UN’s supreme authority, e.g., the Humberto Leal case.

The Legislative check is defunct.

I’d rather have Art Carney as Press Secretary than this pitiful wuss....

I hear that more jobs have been created in Texas in the past two years than in the other 49 states combined. So maybe the rest of the country can take a few lessons from Texas.

Texas has a flat state income tax rate. Its 0% for everyone.

You speak of a nation’s chacter. As my tagline suggests, ‘character is destiny’.
We get the government we deserve. The politicians merely ‘give them what they want’ by taking it from someone else. We all know what Maggie Thatcher says is true. 15% GDP for tax revenue. You’d think they get the message in DC.

...spreads the prosperity...

Aside from the fact that there is essentially no prosperity to spread, it shouldn't be spread anyway. Prosperity belongs to the person that risked their capital, spent their time and effort, created their idea, or otherwise did what was necessary to prosper in the first place. If the fruit of ones' labor is to be shared, why labor?

Yo, Jay:

Why don’t you go spread your butt-cheeks for some “shared” prosperity.

Moron.
