Economy and Budget are one and the same. Bad budget and spending, bad economy, period.
This, "we have to print fiat money, and spend it, to save the economy" is not going to work, never does. Money in circulation has to grow as result of LABOR to make PRODUCT\GOODS\SERVICE that inspire other people to LABOR MORE than they are to purchase said PRODUCT\GOODS\SERVICE.
Print 1 extra unearned fiat dollar and it inflates away.

Why are the Dems so bull-headed and not realizing that spending must be curbed?
Where in the hell do they think the money tree is growing? Continuing to print money has dire consequences and the current sick economy will look favorable then as it founders wors than Greec, Ireland, and Portugal.
Harry Reid would make me happy if he volunteered to be an automobile test dummy. He's a dummy in the Senate and does no good!

This should have been done on the last Congress. Why couldn’t a democrat controlled House, Senate and White House not pass a budget last year for 2011. Instead they put a stop gap that expired March 8, 2011. Smells like a set up for the new Congress. What happened to a transparent government? How much did they really want to budget last year before they lost the house?
