Yesterday John Hinderaker posted an article at Power Line<\/a> reminding us that the Democrats in Congress have failed to produce a budget.  They have been very quick to denounce and vote down the Paul Ryan budget, but they have not produced an alternative.  <\/p>\n

The Washington Post pointed out on Tuesday:<\/p>\n

\n

“Since passage of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, Congress has <\/em>failed to pass a budget resolution only five times<\/em><\/a>, and until last year, a budget resolution always passed at least one chamber. <\/em><\/p>\n

“Now, for the first time in a decade, the Senate Budget Committee isn’t even considering a budget. Two weeks ago, Chairman Kent Conrad said he would “defer” action on the budget, which was due April 15, to see what comes of debt-reduction talks led by Vice President Biden.” <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It’s time to stop the name calling, look at the financial situation of the country, and get to work.  <\/p>\n

The Power Line article concludes:<\/p>\n

\n

“As the Democrats fiddle, America’s economy burns. Today’s bad news–private sector job creation falling, home prices dropping, food and energy costs sky-high–sent the stock market into a tailspin. One Wall Street analyst <\/em>says<\/em><\/font><\/strong><\/a> that “[w]e’re on the verge of a great, great depression.” The Democrats’ economic policies have failed, and pretty much everyone knows it. For them to fail even to propose a budget is, as Milbank says, a dereliction of duty. One can only hope that the voters will punish them for it.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, the focus has changed to the debate over raising the debt ceiling.  Washington is NOT broken–it is simply in need of some leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
