Of course the non reality based democrats would propose a bill that looks more like a wish list than anything economical. Something akin to Christmas time Sears catalog circling.
The proposals were there, originating from the WH, but it was not passed.
I was wondering where the Hitler comparisons were. It never fails. Are your Jewish neighbors missing, or why did you bring it up?
You have your vote, and you can use it any way you want, or not use it at all.
"If you get to the $4 trillion figure -- which had been mentioned by the Bowles-Simpson commission, which had been mentioned by the president in his April 13 speech, which had been mentioned by Paul Ryan in his alternative budget -- that, if you have decent growth behind it,would have done the trick (to retain a AAA rating)," Chambers (managing director and chairman of S&P's sovereign ratings committee) said.
Some Democratic lawmakers reacted to the downgrade by attacking S&P's credibility.

Correct, Democrats went out and formed a debt commission which created a plan to cut trillions from the budget, Obama touted it as a good plan, and then did absolutely nothing with it. And somehow, its the GOP's fault, or the S&P's fault for wanting actions, not words.
Democrats right now should be so embarassed at their leadership.
Try to turn and twist..just like my question will not be answered....
