Yesterday I told you that the democrats and some fake republicans voted against the Paul Ryan budget plan. I guess they also voted on obama's budget. It failed with ZERO votes in favor. Which is kind of funny, but it has to make you think about the strategy of the democrats.
They won't vote for any budget. Hmmm, a couple of reasons come to mind for that. First, with no budget, there are virtually no limits to what they can spend, especially if we allow these clowns to keep raising the debt limit.
Second, they would have to make a commitment to stay within certain spending levels, something they could be held accountable for and something that could be pinned directly to them. Now, with no actual budget for 2011, they can spend what they want and blame who they want. Regardless of the fact that democrats have controlled the purse strings for the last 6 years, they still find ways to blame Republicans for their horrible spending habits.
democrats never want to do anything that they can be held accountable for. Their standard operating procedure is to remain noncommital and blame someone else.
Even bill clinton has ackowledged that something is going to have to be done to save medicare. The Paul Ryan plan may not be perfect, but it is a step in the direction of saving medicare for the future. If we stand by and watch, like the democrats seem to want to do, medicare will be insolvent and unavailable for anyone in a matter of years, not decades, years. democrats could keep it on life support by raising our taxes in a major way, but that would require accountability on their part.
democrats continue to lie about the Ryan plan, making up awful things with nothing to back it up. It is a scare tactic with no basis in reality. But it leaves those supporting the plan on the defensive, trying to make their case. But the volume and the shrillness of the democrats drowns out the sanity of the Republicans. It also doesn't help much that the media hangs on every word pelosi, reid and obama utter...
