This is getting rather repetitive
(Washington Examiner) “Let’s see it,†a frustrated Sen. Jeff Sessions said on the Senate floor Monday afternoon. “Let’s bring it forward.â€
By “it,†Sessions meant a Democratic proposal for a 2012 federal budget. In recent days Sessions, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, has been asking, pushing, pleading, cajoling and begging Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to put forward a Democratic plan. So far, Reid has steadfastly refused.
That’s nothing new. The last time the Senate passed a budget was April 29, 2009, which was, if you are counting — and Jeff Sessions is — 755 days ago.
Oh, wait, my mistake, that’s annoying, that was Byron York writing last year. Let’s move to this year
(The Hill) Senate Democratic leaders on Friday said they do not intend to bring a fiscal 2013 budget up for a floor vote.
“We do not need to bring a budget to the floor this year — it’s done, we don’t need to do it,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters on Friday.
Reid and Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) argued that the debt-limit agreement in August directs spending for the next year and said Senate Appropriations Chairman Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) has already asked the heads of the subcommittees to write their appropriations bills for fiscal 2013.
Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) has said he would probably mark up a budget resolution for 2013, but Reid recently told the Hill he didn’t expect any floor action on a measure produced by the panel.
And then we have
House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who is working on his own budget plan, tweeted Friday that Senate Democrats “‪confirm they’ve given up on budgeting. What a disgrace. Reid’s refusal to budget is a recipe for crisis.‬”
Ryan has said that Democrats should be embarrassed to claim the debt deal as their blueprint because it “fell far, far short of solving this country’s fiscal problems.”
“It’s been more than 1,000 days since Senate Democrats have offered a budget plan to the American people,” Jeff Sessions (Ala.), the ranking Republican on the budget committee, said in a statement. “Now, once again, the Senate’s ineffectual Democrat majority balks at the task of leadership.â€
Obviously, this has to be Bush’s fault in some manner or form. I’m not sure how or why, but, definitely Bush’s fault for this complete abdication of responsibility by Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats. It’s not like that pesky Constitution says
No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.
Technically, I suppose we could generously consider the aforementioned debt ceiling agreement to be a “consequence of appropriations,” but that would be very charitable for FY2012 and certainly does not cover Fiscal 2013. The House GOP need to make sure they go on record with a true budget, brought to the floor and passed. They’ve done that for FY2012 already. Multiple times. The Democrat controlled Senate refuses to pass one, which is quite understandable, what with the next general election coming up. They’ve decided that there is less damage in abdicating their responsibilities than in showing the American public what they intend to do with the People’s money.

In this book we are concerned with how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people; to realize the democratic dream of equality, justice, peace…. “Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.’ This means revolution.” p.3
Saul Alinsky page 3. Harry Reid and almost the entire Democratic party these days are disciples of the Saul Alinsky Rules for radicals as they try to force their pseudo communism on America.
“Radicals must be resilient, adaptable to shifting political circumstances, and sensitive enough to the process of action and reaction to avoid being trapped by their own tactics and forced to travel a road not of their choosing.” p.6
Notice here. This is why Reid and the Democrats WILL NOT PASS A BUDGET…..to do so will tie them to this budget….give the right means to counter….to push back…..As the communist defector responded in and interview the concept was to TAKE AWAY any and ALL PUSHBACKS so that communism could flourish in the USA. Listed Pushbacks were GOD, Religion, Family, morality, ethics, COUNTRY and Patriotism……notice which side of the isle is constantly assaulting these concepts?
“A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally the last stage — the political paradise of communism.” p.10
A MARXIST.
Here the concept of CLASS WARFARE is pushed. Hard. The end result is a revolution.
It is time for the left to realize what their party is doing to this nation. I hardly think Our children growing up want to end up living in a version of the USSR or CHINA……..
Harry Reid is a good little Alinsky disciple is is most of the Democratic party these days.
This is NOT the PARTY OF JFK. This is a progressive…..pseudo communist party bent on class warfare and the destruction of the USA and remolded into a NEW COMMUNIST EXPERIMENT.
