Hypocritical Senate

by George Burns 

 
In an act of sheer hypocricy Senate democrats are taking aim at a budget proposal passed by the House.  It is notable that the Senate, under Harry Reid's leadership, has not even submitted a budget much less passed one for the past three years.  And, both the Senate and House unanamously rejected President Obama's budget proposal.  It was obviously not deemed credible - it did not get a single democrat vote.  So the democrats, instead of offering a budget meriting legitimate debate, prefer to take politically motivated pot-shots at one offered by the republicans.  Is that the kind of leadership we need in the face of huge fiscal challenges?  If democrats have a proposal then they should after more than three years put it on the table.  Then, and only then will Congress have something to debate.
