It is sad people think they are being conservative while defending socialism.

What a brain dead Progressive zombie of a post. Anyone who thinks the Democrats are doing ANYTHING good for the middle class is a freaking moron zombie sheep.

They haven't proposed a budget in 4 years, yet they can tell you all about what's wrong with Paul Ryan's proposed budgets.

Given the devastation which Democrats continue to inflict upon the middle-class and minorities from coast to coast, anyone who considers them to be a friend of the middle class and/or in favor of assisting them is extremely stupid, given their track record over the past several decades.

And with a pathological liar in the White House and a media only too willing to cover for his ineptitude (Benghazi being just one of many skeletons in his closet), don't expect the middle class to get any help from this White House after his spending spree of the previous four years, not to mention ObamaCare, a disaster in the making, all SIXTEEN THOUSAND PLUS pages of it including regulations, with more to come.

Default Ok republicans, us liberals have a budget, happy now?

Over the last 4 years, republicans have complained that democrats haven't passed a budget. Ok, we have one. It of course will be DOA when it gets to the house, and your budget will be DOA when it gets to the senate. Let me ask you, are you happy now? Was all that complainig worth it?

Again, nothing will get done, and everyone will line up behind the podiums and tell America that it's the other guy's fault.

In other words, SSDD.

I know, but it was a talking point that republicans kept bashing us for, and now that we have one, I want to know if they are happy. Neither budget is going to see the light of day in the other chambers, so I never knew what the fuss was all about. We will just continue with CR's for the next 4 years.
