    It's a step in the right direction but I'm betting it won't be long before the Evangelicals show up and start protesting.

    the house in responce grunted, compaired size of their clubs, then blocked women from talking about womens health issues.

    so don't expect this to fare well in the caveman chamber.

    yah, one that punishes the majority, the elderly, the disabled, our vets, and all so the people who are job destroyers (the consumer is the engine of the econamy, not the wealthy) can walk away with more handouts and subsidies that dont renenter the econamy itself, and just gets extracted from america, and funnelled into other countries.

    Once again..at least they can accomplish one of the basic duties they are charged with..you may not like it..but they do.

    Remind me again how long it has been since the Democratic Senate has even submitted a budget?

    Oh right...that would be 3 years.

    Remind me again, when the Democrats had complete control of the House, when they passed a budget?

    Oh that's right..they didn't.

    Remind me again what happened to Speaker Pelosi's right hand man, the Budget Chairman John Spratt..oh that's right, lost.

    The leadership was so inept they couldn't even accomplish one of their basic duties..to craft a budget...and they controlled everything.

    You were saying?

    Thought so.

    Next.

    Nah, no budget is needed.

    We just need to continue spending money that we don't have and raise the debt ceiling further to fix our problems!

    That always ends well.
