If Senate Democrats Won't Pass a Budget, They Shouldn't Be Paid

brucetee

You claimed “No matter how you slice it.the republicans have been an abysmal failure”. So I point UNTRUE, WE WON big Nov. 2, 2010.

Now you say “Voters can see the gross incompetence of the republicans since taking over the house of representatives in 2010.” So you can ignore HOUSE passed LOTS of bills and Senate can not even pass budget in three year. Democrats controlled most of the three years. Senate doing THEIR JOB can vote on the bills or re-write and send back to HOUSE. That’s how it works.

But NO. Proven “incompetence” is establish with DEMOCRATS... CUT OFF their UNEARNED PAY.

YOU are not being paid for your remarks here are YOU ?:

In “Ted Nugent, Hilary Rosen Sheltering Obama from Scrutiny” you wrote “In fact average workers during that period,lost ground, due to stagnant wage increases,and reduced purchasing power". Did not find proof of that in your two links. Prehaps you can quote as I do... For sure, your earlier quote “the economic growth,of which he speakes, benefited, by a wide margin,those on the upper rungs of the income ladder. very little ,if any, trickled down to the folks on main st” __ is NOT substantiated __ ... What he spoke has nothing to do with your two articles...

In the first link it says “Experts point to some of the usual suspects -- like technology and globalization -- to explain the widening gap between the haves and have-nots”

Also says “One major pull on the working man was the decline of unions and other labor protections, said Bill Rodgers, a former chief economist for the Labor Department, now a professor at Rutgers University”

Also says “International competition is another factor. While globalization has lifted millions out of poverty in developing nations, it hasn't exactly been a win for middle class workers in the U.S.”

Also says “While average folks were losing ground in the economy, the wealthiest were capitalizing on some of those same factors, and driving an even bigger wedge between themselves and the rest of America”

YOUR SECOND ARTICLE SAID ___ Second says “The latest census data depict a middle class that's shrinking as unemployment stays high and the government's safety net frays. The new numbers follow years of stagnating wages for the middle class that have hurt millions of workers and families

YOU WROTE __ Don’t see how this, as you wrote, “In fact average workers during that period,lost ground, due to stagnant wage increases,and reduced purchasing power" MATCH UP as proof.

As I have quoted before (Reason for recession and high unemployment. Nothing to do with tax cuts for rich):

"It’s important to keep in mind that the recession had nothing to do with the tax cuts. The recession was brought on by destructive federal intervention in the subprime mortgage market, irresponsible funding and securitization of subprime loans by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, unsound Federal Reserve monetary policy, a lack of oversight by the Securities and Exchange Commission, greed and fraud committed by certain large banks and investment firms, and consumers who bought homes they really couldn’t afford."

You say “I love dunking right wing lies”.

You left so much out is like YOU LIED...

YOUR “POINT #1”

Democrats OWNED House Oct. 1, 2010 when budget was due. WE took control January 2011.

Your “POINT #2”

Budgets are year.

Your “POINT #3”

“1000 day without a budget" b.s.”

BS is what you say. “1,000 days.” HOW ABOUT 3 YEARS !!! :

“Obama, Democrats not serious about passing budget”

CNN April 30, 2012

“Sen. Ron Johnson notes it's been three years since the Senate passed a budget”

http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/29/opinion/johnson-budget/index.html

Your “POINT #4 ”

NEVER HAPENED...

Bill Hedges of MO 8:17PM May 02, 2012

I'm SICK of right wing LIES.

POINT #1

The Senate is NOT required to pass a budget.

While it is true that the Senate CAN pass a budget resolution with a simple majority vote, for that budget resolution to take EFFECT, it must have either the cooperation of the House, or at least 60 votes in the Senate. Parliamentary procedure.

POINT #2

What do you call the Senate passing and enacting:

Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012

Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2012, (both of which were passed on December 23, 2011 which appropriated the FY 2012 budget)????

So yes, they did pass budgets all during the "1000 day" lie.

POINT #3

If Senate Republicans weren't such obstructionists, they would have a legit talking point in the "1000 day without a budget" b.s. Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell required all legislation to pass through the cloture motion method to prevent nearly everything from passing, so the GOP has only themselves to blame when vital legislation wasn't able to pass.

POINT #4

I love dunking right wing lies.
