While the Republican Study Committee (RSC) is working to balance our nation’s budget, Obama and the Democrats in Congress are ensuring our nation plunges further into debt.
As Democrats are worried about elections in the months ahead, they don’t want to see a budget that would officially note big deficits. So, their answer? Don’t create a budget.
As America faces unprecedented debt and an economy as rocky as the one in the 1930s, it is a bad idea to not create a budget that would begin to dig the nation out of the deep hole it is in.
“Families across the country have been forced to put restrictions on their spending and Congress needs to make the federal government do the same,” says Americans for Limited Government (ALG) President Bill Wilson. “We cannot continue down the same road we are on. It is the responsibility of the Democrats in Congress to create a sound budget and get it passed.”
As Republicans are asking Democrats where their budget is, old comments made to Republicans are beginning to surface. In 2006, when Republicans held the majority in both the House of Representatives and Senate, a final budget passed in the House, but the Senate could not agree. Seeing this as an opportunity to blast the Republicans, some Democrats comments are now coming back to haunt them — especially since the House has always at least passed its version of a budget — unlike what we are seeing in the House now.
