As of today, it has been 1,028 days since the U.S. Senate last passed a budget.
That’s about 20 dog years.
Imagine if you were employed in a business where one of your duties was to plan an annual budget for each upcoming year and you just decided you weren’t going to do it. And 1,028 days later, you still had not done it. Continue reading

He and Pelosi and Hoyer and Waxman and the rest of the execrable democrats.
Much has been made about Mitt Romney’s income tax rate and it’s all the same. Sure he’s done nothing illegal but shame on Romney for paying what he owes. It’s his fault. He’s hiding something. Continue reading

When is anyone going to start getting concerned?
President Obama used his recess appointment powers Wednesday to name a head for the controversial Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and three new members to the National Labor Relations Board — moves Republican lawmakers said amounted to an unconstitutional power grab.

Oh boy….Reid has gone over the edge and he will rue the day once the Republicans retake the majority in the Senate:
In a stunning turn of events this evening, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., used an arcane legislative maneuver to effectively rewrite Senate rules to make it harder for the minority party to force uncomfortable votes on the majority.

So let me get this straight. With unemployment over 9%, with our economy in shambles, and the world starting to panic over their own economy, the brilliant plan by Reid and his cronies is to shut down the federal government?
Wow! Continue reading

Evidence that this country is on its way to the trash bin of history ala Rome:

As we all know, Boehner’s plan was shelved last night due to enough opposition from enough House Republicans to kill the bill:
Just said by Kentucky Senator Rand Paul said to Sean Hannity on Fox in live interview.

Several days ago Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) coughed up a furball. He asserted that Republicans who sought a Balanced Budget Amendment were now part of a “cult.”
Senate Democrats attacked the “Cut, Cap and Balance” measure on Wednesday, calling the House-passed bill “devoid of substance” and “dead on arrival” in the Senate, where it will receive a vote later this week.

But he said President Obama on Thursday demanded another $400 billion in revenue, which Boehner said “was going to be nothing more than a tax hike on the American people.”
