Kinda funny....most of the replies so far are from people who don't want to actually talk about the republican budget. Wonder why that is?

Because most of us understand budget proposals originate in the White House.

Nice things to ***** and moan about on a thread, but meaningless.

btw
Like previous Republican budgets, Price's plan contains no tax increases. It assumes Congress will enact revenue-neutral reforms to the tax code to reduce rates while ending many tax breaks. But it leaves the details for later.

Isnt this what you left wing kooks have been calling for?

Bloody hell! That is last years proposal. And one that was window dressing only, as the Democrats did not even hold hearings on it in the Senate, even though they were in control of that body last year.

I repped you and everything.

So, I am still looking for something of substance on the budget from the Democrats, which we have not seen in five years now.

I think we all know that any Republican budget will always basically say:

1. cut everything for poor, elderly, disabled.

2. give carte blanche to the military.

3. give rich people anything they want.

Probably because you posted this like less than an hour ago and some of us have to finish or jobs for today before reviewing.

haha.. obamas budget proposal

President Barack Obama introduced his 2015 budget proposal on Tuesday, with an overall 2 percent cut to discretionary spending, reducing it to $1.15 trillion. Under the White House plan, military spending would decline 1 percent, to $606 billion, while non-defense spending would decline 3.3 percent, to $543 billion.

2015 White House Defense Budget: Special Fund Used To Offset Defense Cuts Has Grown From $0 To $26B In 2 Years

Obama must hate the poor, elderly, disabled 3.3x as much as he loves the military.

In the past I have said over and over single payer was the far better choice. Medicare for all would be better. Not being able to get those, the ACA is a poor compromise.....but better then nothing.

I'll take your deflection as a sign that you agree with my assessment. And why wouldn't you? It's accurate.
