The proposed 2012 budget...

[CaptainHaplo]

Before you start screaming about how this plan is going to make seniors live on dog or cat food, before you start arguing how lower taxes create economic growth, and before you take up whichever ideological arguements you already know.....

Try reading the thing:

Once you have, lets have a discussion on is this the right thing to do.

No talking points - lets deal with it as what it is - not what one side or the other CLAIM it is.....

Well this is not the actual budget document. This is a propaganda document reflecting partisan viewpoints.

What we need to find is the actual proposed budget that the House of Representatives, as a whole, is proposing (which has not been released yet).

Then we can talk.

This document is only what the GOP wants us to believe they are going to propose.

.

The file linked pretty much makes this obvious.
budget.house.gov/UploadedFiles/PathToProsperityFY2012.pdf

Path to prosperity? REALLY?! Says who? And does everyone agree this is the path? It's not named something official like "ProposedBudget2012.pdf", but a file named with a "make you feel good" choice of words. I just wasn't going to say anything, but i couldn't help but respond to your post Platapus. Damn you!

GOP Completely Fixes Economy By Canceling Funding For NPR

"Since eliminating federal spending for NPR, America's economic outlook is brighter than it's been in decades, with manufacturing on the rise and millions of jobs once sent overseas now returning to our shores," said Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL), adding that by eliminating funds for NPR, the deficit has been slashed by 0.000004 percent and a newly thriving middle class once again has cause to believe in the American dream.

The Onion nails it again.

And what they said. This is pure partisan propaganda. If you want to deal with something as is instead as one side claims it is, (your words) start by junking this document.

lets deal with it as what it is

me good them bad.
Dealt with as what it is
Or if you go by the wondeful charts on projections
me amazingly good me the best thing since unsliced bread, them real crazy loons who couldn't tie a shoe lace.

Actually pull up the document......

This IS the 2012 fiscal budget resolution released by the House committee on the Budget. Sorry you take offense to the name - and yes the name is partisan politics. But it IS the official resolution by the committee.

Try checking page 4 for the "Statement of Constitutionality and Legal Authority"

No - its no Binding (as the full house must vote, then send it thru the senate and exec)m, but it IS a starting point.

So how come no one wants to actually read the thing? People too entrenched in their partisanship?

Sad.... Just plain sad....

Just write bad checks and let the grandkids worry about it.
