What Democrats and big-government Republicans aren't telling you is this: the Obama-Pelosi-Reid "one-time Stimulus package" was built into the baseline, which means each year that the Obamacrats can avoid writing a budget is another year that this cash furnace can continue burning your children's money.
John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, decent human beings though they may be, haven't even raised this issue with the public. They don't have the spine to enact the drastic cuts this country requires to survive.This chart illustrates why we Tea Party activists must nominate and elect the most conservative candidates possible in 2012. We have two missions: to politically obliterate the Marxist Left that has subsumed the empty husk of the Democrat Party; and to continue our hostile takeover of the Republican Party, in order to return it to its Reagan-esque roots.
We have no choice if we are to save this Republic.

The sneaky "baseline" trick is a perfect demonstration of the tyranny of the Most Opaque Administration in History.

“Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive”
CBO: The President’s policy proposals mostly affect the revenue side of the budget.
The primary difference between the baseline and the President's proposal is the extension of tax cuts for most tax payers. Do you support, then, allowing the tax cuts to expire? Or is the purpose of your post simply partisan?
Doug Ross: We have two missions: to politically obliterate the Marxist Left that has subsumed the empty husk of the Democrat Party; ...
Marxists because they want to extend tax cuts. Heh.
Don't see exactly how the stimulus figures were calculated. Can you provide a more precise citation?
Doug Ross @ Journal: It has now been nearly 1,000 days since the Democrats last passed a federal budget.
The House is responsible for putting forth budgets, not the Senate.
Article 1 Section 7: All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives.

Zach,
Which part of the word "passed" don't you understand?

Anonymous: Which part of the word "passed" don't you understand?
The Senate has passed budgets, but they also have to be approved by the House. Under the U.S. Constitution, it is the House's responsibility to propose legislation that can be enacted into law.
Hey, Zach -- if that is your real name -- there's this really cool thing called Google.
Use it.
The House already passed a budget -- the Ryan plan.
The Democrat controlled arms of government haven't passed a budget in 1,000 days.
It's disgusting and anyone who supports this Marxist crew's willingness to engage in national fiscal suicide is either moronic, anti-American or both.

Yes, but it's meaningless unless they can pass a budget that can be enacted into law.

That just indicates you don't know what constitutes being a Marxist. As for the Americans, we are not anti-American.
In any case, according to the U.S. Constitution, it's up to the House to propose a budget that can be enacted into law.
Glad to see your giving the 111th Congress a compete pass. Typical.
As for Marxism.
The path the modern, MoveOn-controlled Democrat Party is on today was presciently described by Stuart Chase in 1942. He wrote that the agenda of the Fabian Socialists -- who had launched a counter-revolution against America's founding -- was to create an authoritarian and completely centralized government apparatus. The tenets of the Fabian Socialists were codified as follows:
• Strong, centralized government
• Government-controlled banking, credit and securities exchange (like Dodd-Frank, etc.)
• Government control over employment (like the "Employee Free Choice Act" and NLRB efforts to increase unionization of the workplace)
• Unemployment insurance, old age pensions (like 99-week unemployment benefits, Social Security, easy access to welfare)
• Universal medical care, food and housing programs (like Obamacare, food stamps, HUD)
• Access to unlimited government borrowing (like massive deficits)
• A managed monetary system (like an opaque Federal Reserve)
• Government control over foreign trade (like China tariffs)
• Government control over natural energy sources, transportation and agricultural production (like drilling moratoriums, the EPA's regime of "Cap-and-Trade")
• Government regulation of labor (like the Wagner Act, monopolistic power of trade unions, et. al.)
• and Heavy progressive taxation (like our current tax code, the most "progressive" of all Western countries).
The policies of the modern Democrat Party are absolutely synonymous with Marxism. In his review of the seminal work Liberty & Tyranny, David Solway describes the road on which the modern Democrat Party is traveling in words even Zach can understand.
The Statist ... is preoccupied not with liberty but with equality. “In his war against the individual, the free market and ultimately the civil society,” Levin writes, the “Statist must claim the power to make that which is unequal equal and that which is imperfect perfect.” The problem is that the Statist is interested not only in equality of opportunity, to which no reasonable person could object (assuming that opportunity is not manipulated to favor one class of persons over another, as, for example, affirmative action), but in equality of outcome, which sanctions the massive interventions of the state into the private domain.
Every legitimate forecaster -- from Moody's to Peter Orszag -- describes America's fiscal condition as critical. And why is that?
Could it be that the Democrat Fabian Socialist principles of wealth redistribution, limitless welfare, open borders, "Great Society", universal health care, and dozens of other failed entitlement programs are bankrupting this Republic?
So, Zach, next time you opine on wordsmithing, take the 30 seconds to compare the agenda of the Fabian Socialists with that of the modern Democrat Party. Because you couldn't separate the two with a freaking crowbar.
The Democrat's failed, Marxist policies have cost American taxpayers untold trillions of dollars and simultaneously breached the firewalls of the Constitution.
So, Zach, please: read Federalist 45 and tell me you can come to any other conclusion that today's Democrats are the avowed, open enemies of the Constitution. This ain't your pappy's Democrat Party any more.
They are freaking Marxists as certain as Michael Moore is a morbidly obese Communist sympathizer.
directorblue: Glad to see your giving the 111th Congress a compete pass.
Directorblue, if that is your real name, we didn't give anyone a pass. We pointed out that the House has the responsibility for proposing a budget capable of being enacted, and the Republicans control the House.
By the way, the Senate passed a budget bill yesterday.
directorblue: The policies of the modern Democrat Party are absolutely synonymous with Marxism.
That's just silly. No one is calling for the nationalization of industry, or considers it an historic inevitability.
Zach, for the last time: the 111th Congress was completely controlled by Democrats, with super-majorities.
Remember?
Nancy Pelosi as Speaker?
They failed to pass a budget in the House. Period.
Now, go call Mom and ask her to warm up the Mac-and-Cheese and bring it down to the basement.
