Since Democrats last passed a budget.
In other news today, Obama announced that he will not meet the statutory deadline to submit his budget to Congress–again. Of course, no one is holding his breath awaiting the president’s budget proposal. Obama’s last budget was so fiscally irresponsible that it was voted down in the Senate, 97-0. Not a single Democrat supported it.
Democrats like Dick Durbin and Nancy Pelosi have tried to blame their dereliction of duty on the Republicans, claiming that it would be futile to propose a budget since the Republicans would filibuster it. As usual, the Democrats rely on ignorance: under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, budgets pass the Senate by a simple majority and cannot be filibustered.
Oh the spewing vitriol if the Republican’s ever pulled a stunt like this.
