So when Obama gave out trillions in "stimulus" taxpayer dollars, it went to the citizens and the little guys? Or did it go to big corporations and State governments? It seems that once in power, Democrats are indistinguishable from war-mongering, Special Interest-owned Republicans. They all serve the interests of campaign contributions, Big Government power, and post-political high-paying no-show jobs in Big Business.
If you were President and wanted to help out the average citizen to have some extra money to spend, how would you do it? That's right, tax cuts. What is the party of tax cuts? Republicans.
All bills have to be signed by the President, unless you get a 2/3rds majority in the house and the senate.
You're still not getting it. Appropriations bills for Obama's unpopular programs will never make it out of the House. Obama will have nothing to refuse to sign.
They'll raise the debt ceiling. They have to. They will throw out some list of things they will cut or have cut and then blame Democrats for having to raise the debt ceiling.

Step 1. Congress sends President a budget
Step 2. Budget doesn't have an appropriation in it that the President wants
Step 3. President veto's budget that doesn't appropriate funds for the programs he supports
Step 4. Republicans can a. Add funds for the bills. b. Sit on it, and do nothing, shut down the government. c. Try and get a 2/3rds majority in the house and Senate to overwrite the Presidents Veto.

The Debt Ceiling is NOT the budget. It's our national Credit limit. The question is, will the Zombies take responsibility for the $14 trilion debt or will they shut down the government like Gingrich did.

You know he CAN veto the whole budget and shut the government down as Clinton did. Most people won't miss the government for a few weeks.
All the President has to do is to not sign any budget that doesn't fund what he wants funded.
