+1 for you.

And to think Obama just spend 200 million dollars on a recent VACATION, his 20th vacation of the year on the TAX PAYERS money.

Want to keep talking about who goes on vacation when there is work to do?

Look at the idiot scam mister in the WH.

Good point. Another reason the Dems got the boot.............

No Budget Resolution? Democrats Contemplate Giving Up Important Power in Face of Republican Obstructionism | FDL Action

"This is some completely sickening news that simply can’t be interpreted as anything else but a massive betrayal of grassroots progressives. Politico is reporting that Congressional Democrats are thinking of not even producing a non-binding budget resolution this year."

And they didn't.............

Congress sees no budget rush - Jonathan Allen - POLITICO.com

"Indeed, some Democratic insiders suspect that leaders will skip the budget process altogether this year — a way to avoid the political unpleasantness of voting on spending, deficits and taxes in an election year — or simply go through a few of the motions, without any real effort to complete the work."

The forefathers wanted Congress to be part time, to do very very little.. Dont sit here and try to school others on how anti american the GOP is for not wanting to spend another $1T on pork. Thats beyond ridiculous even for a liberal..

Pretty much says it all. The party of majority in both halls of Congress and the White House has only themselves to blame.

The GOP works for us, the majority of Americans and we demand they stop the worst congress in American history from putting us further in debt.

Must be sad to be in the minority of Americans.

No more spending, no more selling out the American taxpayers by the dems.
