The Senate and the Budget

It has been over 1000 days since the Democratic Senate has proposed a budget. The House of Reprsentatives does put forth a budget each year, Paul Ryan's proposal is well known.

Paul Ryan the Wisconsin conservative mentioned this morning that after the President's spokesperson saying they had no opinion on the Senate's failure, he would expect the same deference for the House.

It is a dereliction of duty on all sides when our governing bodies do not provide the basic tenets of government, providing a budget being one of them.

On the right, on the left, however you feel we should be embarrassed and embittered by this.

All sides are to blame. The President set up a debt commission chaired by Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles. He then walked away from the results.

Here is the truth. No one dares speak the truth. This may not end well.
