A THOUSAND Days (And Counting)

Congratulations to President Obama and the Democrats in the Senate. Today marks ONE THOUSAND DAYS since they last bothered to submit a budget. Despite:

8+% unemployment

trillion dollar deficits year in and year out

"We can't wait!"

the nation's loss of its perfect credit rating

record number of Americans on food stamps...

despite these, the Democrats and Obama have not found time for the past THOUSAND DAYS to sit down and actually put together a budget for our federal government, choosing instead to spout off to a sym(pathetic) press about the 'do-nothing GOP' and "extremists" that are worried about our nation's financial situation.

Say, how about another "stimulus" or a few cowboy poems?

No, instead Obama will mark the occasion by giving a speech blaming the GOP for our economic problems. And the media will soil their underthings with joy at his words.

I'm not a fan of disrupting the President's speech, but maybe before he starts a chant of "Where's your buuuuuuudgeeeeet, where's your buuuuuuuudgeeeeeet?" from the fiscally sane members? That would be sweet. Maybe just do it while he enters the chamber...extra points if you get a peanut up his uptilted nose.
As Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., points out, going budget-less for so long has devastated our economy as Democrats have spent "$9.4 trillion and added $4.1 trillion to the national debt," plus over $1 trillion in deficits...

A budget, according to the president 1,000 days ago, is necessary "to lay a new foundation for growth." He praised Reid's 2009 budget for its massive new spending, like "new investments in renewable energy that will create millions of jobs and new industries, new investments in health care that will cut costs for families and businesses, and new savings that will bring down our deficit."

Since Obama gave those assurances, the jobs haven't materialized, health insurance premiums have risen significantly in expectation of ObamaCare and the deficit has skyrocketed.
