Colossal Incompetence: “For the first time since modern budgeting was introduced with the Budget Act of 1974, the House failed to even write a budget.”
Corrupt and craven crooks and cowards. And that’s just the best thing you can say about the ruling class Democrats. More from Charles Krauthammer:
This in a year of extraordinary deficits, rising uncertainty and jittery financial markets. Gold is going through the roof. Confidence in the dollar and the American economy is falling — largely because of massive overhanging debt. Yet no budget emerged from Congress to give guidance, let alone reassurance, about future U.S. revenues and spending.
That’s not all. Congress has not passed a single appropriations bill. To keep the government going, Congress passed a so-called continuing resolution (CR) before adjourning to campaign. The problem with continuing to spend at the current level is that the last two years have seen a huge 28 percent jump in non-defense discretionary spending. The CR continues this profligacy, aggravating an already serious debt problem.
As if this were not enough, Congress adjourned without even a vote — nay, without even a Democratic bill — on the expiring Bush tax cuts. This is the ultimate in incompetence. After 20 months of control of the White House and Congress — during which they passed an elaborate, 1,000-page micromanagement of every detail of American health care — the Democrats adjourned without being able to tell the country what its tax rates will be on Jan. 1.

Their incompetence is nearly incomprehensible. Which is why they will be swept out of office in November. And if/when the new GOP majority doesn’t act like Conservatives, they’ll be next.

I’ve said it before Robbie. They ALL need to go.Repub and dimwit alike. They’ve all been their too long. Especially when most of them have the attitude “I’m not prepared to have my 30yr[or 10,20,40] year distinguished record of service to the people of my state questioned..by those same people” and almost direct quote by the way. One of the dems said something similar in the last year or 2 during a press conference. The sheer gall of the man makes me homicidal.
oh and by the way..the first post of the Rush Project is up…
