[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They passed a budget in the lame duck session without buyin from Republicans, and now they complain Republicans won't support the budget that was passed.[/quote]

And Republicans did that multiple times before.  In fact there has only been one President in our lifetime that balanced a budget, Clinton.  Everyone else is responsible for this debt.[/quote]

Newt Gingrich and company — for all their faults — have received virtually no credit for balancing the budget. Yet today’s surplus is, in part, a byproduct of the GOP’s single‐minded crusade to end 30 years of red ink. Arguably, Gingrich’s finest hour as Speaker came in March 1995 when he rallied the entire Republican House caucus behind the idea of eliminating the deficit within seven years.

Ah yes, and then immediately pissed all the savings away the moment GW Bush Administration needed some tax cuts. Remember what Vice President Cheney said, "Deficits don't matter." Or rather, they don't matter unless there's a Democrat in the White House.[/quote]

The only thing that apparently matters is to make a democrat in the White House look bad, not actually help the United States. Newt pretended to care as long as a democrat was the President, and then afterwards it was have a giant tax cut and military spending party. It's crazy.

And the republicans now don't even pretend to care about veterans--look at their last vote.

I assume everyone will be in for a world of hurt in early June. We are already saving money. [/quote]
