Democrats - Have Still Not Passed a Budget

CNN's Jack Cafferty Blasts Democrats for Punting on Budget, Highlights GOP Efforts to Hold Democrats Accountable.

Jack Cafferty commented in the "Cafferty File": "At a time of skyrocketing federal deficits and a national debt that just passed $13 trillion, the Democrats in Congress can’t be bothered to pass a budget for next year."

"That’s their job. Congress is supposed to decide how to spend the taxpayers' money. They are mandated to pass a budget; and presumably to stick to it… but that’s a whole other story. Yet efforts to pass a budget have stalled in the House because Democrats can't agree on what and how much to cut. See, it's an election year – can't be seen cutting things in an election year." "It’s simply outrageous."

"Republicans say Democrats are making a 'huge mistake' by not passing a budget; and they’re right. House Minority Leader John Boehner suggests Pres. Obama should find someone’s 'ass to kick' when it comes to the budget deficit. He says the GOP will be relentless about this issue."

Blog author's comments - The Democrats face a big problem on spending. They have added billions of dollars to the federal tab over the last year and a half, telling us that it will help the economy and create jobs. But the unemployment rate still remains high, and pressure builds from Republicans and members of their own party to stop the out of control spending.

The Democrats have not passed a budget, and from what I have heard, may end this session in Washington early, to go home and campaign. So, who knows when a budget will be passed?

Most economists agree that the debt must be reduced. This is the only way to create private sector jobs and help the economy to begin a recovery. Most companies will not invest or hire until they feel better about what the government is doing and the economy improves. The government has a record deficit but no budget bill.

I can only assume from listening to Barack Hussein Obama for almost two years that this must also be the fault of George W. Bush!
