Hate to break it to you Sparky, but the Republicans tried to vote on the
president's jobs bill but the Senate Majority Leader had his caucus vote
to
NOT bring the bill up for a vote. The president's bill has languished in
the
Senate since the president sent it over. Since the Democrats have a
majority
in the Senate, it's a confusing wonder why they continue to deny a vote
or
even allow a markup.

Meanwhile, in the House, the president's bill has ONE sponsor and NO
co-sponsors.

The republicans won't vote on anything that raises revenue.

Damned right! The Democrats will just spend it, and 40% more.

You know
little about law making. The right will bring down the country before
they give Obama anything.

It's Obama bringing down the country, with debt, moron.


Except, since the 2009 and 2010 budgets were drafted and approved by his
predesessor, Obama's hands have been basically tied.

No Surprises for Bush's Lame Duck Fiscal 2010 Budget
June 20, 2008

Conceding to the political reality that the incoming president will want to
tweak the fiscal 2010 budget set to be unveiled next January or February,
President Bush's team has ordered that nothing out of the ordinary be
included in the funding blueprints being drawn up now.

Instead, the budget that will be handed off to Bush's successor to complete
will be a flat-line product to include only already planned increases-or
decreases-in ongoing federal programs. Normally at this stage of the year,
departments would be readying initial budgets filled with new programs for
the West Wing to consider. Instead, the budget writers are on cruise
control, especially since about 80 percent of the federal budget is taken up
by ongoing programs, salaries, and previously approved plans.
