    The Democrats are Advocates of a policy that empowers a strong government to enslave its people with a high tax burden incident to the support of extravagant and unnecessary social programs destructive to both the work ethic among the lower class, and the incentive to innovate and succeed among the working class.

    The problems we face today are because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.~~

    The Budget proposal is supposed to start in the House and then pass up

    through the Senate. Obama proposed a Budget last year and it was "laughed"

    out of the Capital Building, with not even ONE Democratic supporter. The

    "budget" has been in numerous Committees for the last 2 years and the

    in-fighting can't get one out of Committee. The greater shame, is that Reid

    ( the DEMOCRAT ), allowed 42 Job Bills submitted from the House for

    Senate hearing, to sit on his desk and NEVER submitted for debate. Reid

    was SO scared that Repubs "might" get some credit, he literally hurt the

    country.

    Ah....perhaps you have been out of the country or in a coma for a while?

    (The GOP have a majority in Congress right now....the ONLY Democrat who currently has the power to "not pass a budget" is Obama...)

    I'm an immigrant (legal!), and I know that....shame on you if you are an American!

    Because that would force the democrats to be accountable. But we'll never see accountability under this administration.
