The current fiscal year will be the fourth in a row in which the Obama administration racks up a $1 trillion-plus deficit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the Senate Democrats can&#8217;t do their job (as required by federal law), they need to be replaced. The claims that the Democrats have not passed a budget because the Republicans would filibuster it are false&#8211;under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, budgets pass the Senate by a simple majority and cannot be filibustered. As usual, yesterday President\u00a0Obama announced that he will not meet the statutory deadline to submit his budget to Congress\u2013again. The last budget he submitted to\u00a0the Senate\u00a0was voted down\u00a097-0. I think he (and the Senate) can do better than that.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the out-of-control spending continues.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"float: right; border-style: none;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=7fd8313e-3966-4be2-9856-2f98d9e09e3c\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Hinderaker at Power LIne\u00a0reminds us today that it has been 1,000 days since the United States Senate passed a budget.
