If I was in congress and someone told me 'The president just delivered his budget for next year. He wants to spend $4,100,000,000,000 next year', I wouldn't bother looking at it either.

What kind of budget do you think Congress has approved? Actions speak louder than words.
Obama's budgets routinely get voted down without a single vote of support. Spending any time on them would be a waste.
Pretty much ALL presidents budgets get ignored. But suddenly the folks here think its unique or special. What nonsense.
I especially like the comments about "passing things without reading them" from another poster. Given the massive budget bill that the Republicans just passed without reading. Hilarious.

The problem is ACA is the unread gift that keeps on giving. (Please don't go into the usual song and dance about how people have coverage now)
Well it would be nice to hear the person responsible for the budget, they don't have to agree.
Paying $10 a barrel to fund transportation makes a good deal of sense, use the taxes to fund infrastructure and it phases out in 5 years.
I will anxiously await the GOP balanced budget but not sure how you do that without addressing Medicaid, Medicare or DOD. Sounds like the usual, increased spending but no new taxes. Like David Stockman stated, you could lock a group of republicans and democrats in a room for a year and they couldn't agree on one cut.
I can't believe for a second that this $10 per barrel tax will actually phase out. I don't think you believe it either. We will be hearing about some super important reason why the tax needs to continue, and go up to $20 per barrel. Because things.

That isn't what it's intended to fund, and it would add (I read) 25 cents/gal to the price of gasoline. At a time when the price of gasoline has finally come down to something reasonable (from nearly $4/gal at one time in my area). We finally have some relief. And that $10/bbl would not only affect gasoline. It affects things like propane too (which I use to heat my home) and heating oil (I had to quit using my oil furnace because I could no longer afford the oil). It affects the price of delivery of goods and services (over the road trucking) as well, which means you pay more for everything. This is the problem with socialist thinking. Socialists love taxes; but high taxes reduce our standard of living, rather than raise it, and make it more difficult for people to 'get ahead' and make a better life for their families.
