Three years ago today the Senate passed the last and only budget of Oabam’s reign. This despite super majorities in Congress in 2009 and 2010. Some would say this is a result of procrastination and/or political squabbling. I agree with GOP Senator Jeff Sessions that it is a deliberate part of the democrat game plan to continue their profligate spending on such things as social justice schemes, green energy, Obamacare (which stands a fair chance of being overturned) and funding of the Palestinian terrorists. All this without debate or congressional oversight.
April 29, 2009 was the last time the Senate passed a budget — three years ago today. Articulating a budget for the United States is among senators’ legally required duties.
Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions, the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, told The Daily Caller that Senate Democrats’ obfuscation is to blame.
“This is a deliberate plan that the Democratic majority has executed for three years to avoid the responsibility of laying out a financial plan for America,” he said in an interview.
The Democratic majority in the Senate, Sessions said, “cannot lead.”
“When your party cannot coalesce around a plan that your members can support and the American people can support, then you’ve got a very deep, serious problem. And I think that is basically what it is,” he explained.
“So you’ve got to hide that by avoiding any public accountability. So you have secret meetings, the gang of six, and those kind of things — trying to move along without every having to lay out their vision.”
In the three years since the Senate last passed a budget, the federal government has spent $10.4 trillion and accumulated $4.5 trillion in debt, an amount that equals $13,000 in new debt for every individual American and $34,000 per family.
