President Zero maintains a zero score on his budgets, as in,
no one in the Senate voted for his latest monstrosity:
99-0: Senate votes down Obama’s budget unanimously — again
There’s no better testament to how politically toxic that $6.4
trillion figure is than the fact that Senate Democrats would rather hand
the GOP yet another day of “Obama shutout!” headlines than sign on to
this travesty out of party loyalty. Said Mitch McConnell
of Reid’s refusal to offer his own budget, “They’re so unserious they
won’t even vote for a budget that was written by a president of their
own party. It doesn’t get more irresponsible than that.” Indeed — but
follow that last link and you’ll find that it’s Jay Carney, of all
people, who’s complaining about “gimmicks.”
Do
read the whole thing, including the update which demonstrates just how unserious the Democrats really are when it comes to the Federal budget.
