We are now just two weeks away from the supposed drop dead date for the federal government to run out of money for full operation. At this point, it is a fair question to ask the president what he proposes. No, we do not want another vague speech, the country wants to know what he proposes. What is his plan. And if Obama has not got a plan, what is the plan of his party?
Since the start of this debate in January, the Republicans have proposed a budget and passed it in the House. The Republicans proposed a plan for raising the debt ceiling and passed it in the House. The Republican leader of the Senate has proposed a plan which has not been voted upon in the Democrat controlled Senate. During all that time, the only proposal from Obama and the Obamacrats was the Obama budget which no one took seriously. Indeed, when Obama's budget was put up for a vote in the Democrat controlled Senate, it lost 97 to 0. That's right, not a single Democrat voted for the budget proposal of their own president. Everyone recongnized that the Obama proposal was not serious. Instead of cutting spending, it proposed increasing spending and the deficit.
We have now watched the spectacle of months of discussions going on and on in Washington. In all that time, the Democrats did not respect the American people enough to put forward any proposal to the debt problem. All we have seen is yelling and screaming and rejection of the GOP proposals. The Democrats went on for years calling the Republicans the party of NO, but in truth, that is what they are. It is highly irresponsible for Obama and the Obamacrats to come forward with no plan to resolve the crisis. They are more worried about taking responsibility for the problem than they are about solving it. The Obamacrats and their leader are more concerned with holding on to their power than they are about doing what will benefit the country. It is a national disgrace.
Let's hope that in 2012, the voters remember this performance.
