That's interesting. Spending is controlled by the Congress, and spending bills must originate in the GOP controlled house, but it's all Obama. Of Course.

Technically, only bills relating to revenue have to originate in the House.

I'm fuzzy on constitutional law, but I'm pretty sure the House passes the spending bills.

I didn't realize Obama was writing budget bills for the past 5 years. I guess that frees up the House to focus on abortion.

Anyone can go into a thread, drop a turd off, and get a response from any number of people. Where's the skill, where's the fun in that.
Now going to the submissions page and leaving a steaming log of a headline which gets a response from the moderators - that's a challenge and an accomplishment to be proud of.

More Repulitard lies. Seriously if a Republican told me I was alive I'd have to check my pulse. Republicans have built an entire party out of lies and convinced a whole bunch of thieves and morons to follow them.

Obama didn't pass a budget either during his first 2 years and sure as hell wont sign anything out of the house.

It is pretty sad when the Ryan budget, which balances in 30 years is the single greatest assault on seniors, minorities and other *insert victim group here*

No it's not. It's pretty clear these links are only greenlit for the subsequent backlash. That's how page views are generated.

Lol, keep downvoting the article, you stupid liberals. Keep this up and you may get somewhere near Obama's approval rating.

I enjoy fairy tales and fiction as much as anyone, but I draw the line at turning those stories into economic policies.

a) Am I to understand that you believe it is Obama that is keeping a the House from passing a budget?
and
b) Are you actually defending that clusterfark of a Ryan budget? "After reviewing the different proposals, I didn't feel they offered an effective plan to balance the budget and provide the needed reform to preserve Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security," -Ed Whitfield (R-KY)

o5iiawah: It is pretty sad when the Ryan budget, which balances in 30 years is the single greatest assault on seniors, minorities and other *insert victim group here*

That's what happens when the plan inherently involves gutting funding for Medicare and Medicaid and abolishing all non-defense discretionary government programs while simultaneously gutting tax rates for the stinking rich and relying on ludicrously fanciful economic growth predictions like an unemployment rate of 2.8%.

I think it is a steaming turd because our budget should be balanced within 5 years and I dont care which favored program (military included) gets cuts

Holy crap. You guys all have guns to your heads that force you to come to Fark everyday, and particularly the Politics tab? If the selections bother you, or the (probably imagined) reasons why some links are greenlit and some are not, then go elsewhere.

Drew is not forcing you to come to his website, click on the links therein, biatch about the submissions, and give him money. You do all of that of your own accord.

Perhaps if we began to look at the debt accumulation as a moral issue, we might get people interested in doing something about it. But that's not likely as long as President Obama and the Democrats are saying that the debt isn't as important as spurring growth, and another trillion dollar stimulus is what is needed.

Exactly. This is why we should go with Romney's plan of job creating tax cuts of 20% across the board. That'll increase tax revenue and close the budget gap just like that *snaps*.
