If Pelosi and Reid had tried to pass a budget after the midterms, you would have been foaming at the mouth and yelling about how they weren't respecting the will of the American people. Moreover, that's just lame deflection. The budget we're arguing over is only good until October. The exact same argument would be happening in the fall/winter instead of now.
Well smile, why do anything!
If they had attempted to pass ANYTHING I am 100% confident it would have added to the deficit, so yeah I probably would have been yelling.
But I don't think that they are that afraid of me. . . are they?
Who do they fear? What kept them from passing a budget in their own image???
Oh Yeah, I remember we were in a recession and Liberal budgets require acquisition of support through expansion of government programs, and with Obamacare poised to eat everything at the table, there were no crumbs to cast a budget from, and their boss would have frowned upon anything that may jeopardize his steaming heap.
Or it could have been me? Who knows.
