   The senate passed a budget? When???? Someone needs to check facts.

   http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-money/budget/278479-gop-179-round-trips-to-moon-since-senate-last-passed-a-budget

   The problem we are having is that Reid says it’s a waste of time to put any bill up for a vote if you are not sure it will pass. So, the democrats say they haven’t done a budget because they can’t get Republican support. But “we the people” only have Mr. Reid’s word on this. If the republicans are the hold up, bring a budget to vote and let the American people see.

   It’s not a waste of time to bring bills to votes even if they don’t pass. Voting is the only true why for “we the people” to see what our reps are truly for or against. The only reason politicians won’t vote on bills that may not pass is that they don’t want “we the people” to truly know where they stand on issues unless they are going to win.

   Wake up to the BS you are being feed. Vote and let us see where everyone stands.

   BREAKING..

   After the GOP spent like drunken sailors with unfunded wars, drug programs, and tax cuts –all supported by the Repubs without a budget for these items, the right wing GOP wants to blame Obama for too much spending. The right wing doesn’t realize you must spend in a bad recession or depression, given the economic crisis Obama inherited. Now the bags are obstructing our economic growth……

   Coffee Steve,

   You post reminds me of what a number of scientist had said about extraterritorial invasion. They said we don’t need to fear extraterritorial invasion because there are to many uninhabited planets with more resources. They then want in to say that the U.S. should be increasing funds to NASA, so that we can take advantage of resources from space.

   I loved that song for years too. It was running through my head when I read Ratboys post on Obama saying the recovery is underway.

   @rat, I’m not going to try to educate the unteachable.

   @cathy

   An astronomy teacher of mine once made a statement to his class, “I don’t believe any intelligent force will ever invade our planet, good grief, they would take one look at us and get out of the solar system as fast as they could”

   I’m thinking of writing my own book about the President called “The Blame Game”

   After 4 years it is getting really old.

   Where is Reids budget????? Please, simple question. Stop blaming the R’s and answer a simple question. Why no budget from Reid? It is the law for the senate to present a budget and they did not. Please explain.

   We don’t need to worry about invasion from other earth like planets because: 1) the planets are too far away for timely travel, due to Einstein’s theory of relativity–a particle can never exceed 186,000 miles per second, and 2) “aliens” don’t need our resources. What the scientists were alluding by “resources” is that through NASA funding we gain advantages from materials and technology invented for space travel. You misinterpreted the whole story, and by the way, “to many” should be “too” many…

    I remember going to White Castle and having a dime and buying 2 burgers cause there wasn’t a tax up to a dime. I remeber the old five and dime stores that are now the (For A Dollar) stores that everything is a dollar.

    I remember the darkness and the void and God sneezing and saying oops!

    Study: “Debt Problem Began Four Decades Ago”

    Nothing is going to reverse that trajectory so long as the voters keep looking for a president to fix our budget, rather than the Congress. Changing the president is inconsequential when the people in charge of the budgets are the same people they’ve always been. I’ve posted about this before, and I’ll surely post about it again, but my representative, Bill Young, has been in the Congress longer than I’ve been alive, and he keeps his seat in part by bringing us a huge amount of pork (while simultaneously campaigning on ‘fiscal responsibility’).

    In both Obama and Bush’s defense, it’s easy to forget an important aspect of their presidencies: they were both wartime presidents. Not only that, but Bush had the consequences of the Tech Bubble bursting on the front end of his presidency, the 2008 global recession on the tail end, and then Obama coming in during the same recession.
    These are the exact circumstances for which our ability to sell debt exists, but Washington (both the presidents and the Congress) decided to capitalize on these circumstances for cronyism and self-advancement, rather than using the debt wisely.
