WASHINGTON (The Blaze/AP) — Republicans have pushed an election-year $3.5 trillion budget through a divided House that showcases their plans for trimming federal deficits and contrasts sharply with how President Barack Obama and Democrats would tackle the nation’s fiscal problems.
(Related: ‘Let’s Not Wait Until We Have a Crisis’: Paul Ryan Pleads for Fiscal Reform in Budget Debate)
The GOP package, proposed by Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), would revamp Medicare, cut everything from food stamps to transportation and reject Obama’s call for higher taxes on the rich. It envisions collapsing the six different income tax rates into just two, with a top rate of 25 percent compared with today’s 35 percent. It would also eliminate unspecified tax breaks.
The House approved the measure Thursday by a near party-line 228-191 vote.
The vote breakdown was 228 Republicans in favor, 181 Democrats and 10 Republicans opposed.
The plan faces almost certain rejection by the Democrat-controlled Senate.

If Constitutional Liberals (what some call Classical Liberals) take hold Congress, then I hope Obama gets re-elected. When Congress and the President oppose each other, government spends less. Congress could actually gridlock the President and vote to defund his agencies.

Our country was founded upon religious freedom, however, it was based upon Christian beliefs and morals. I encourage you to check out the new movie called Monumental. It will show you how the first to settle, the pilgrams, had such a strong faith in God that they endured much. They also gave us the receipe for a free socity. The central point of which is Faith. From faith you get morality, from morality you get law, from law to education, and from education to liberty. You can’t have liberty and freedom without faith. And if our country was so secular, then why did the US Congress shortly after the founding commission and print the Holy Bible to distribute to schools in all of the colonies. They printed 10,000 copies. They did this because they knew that to remain a free society, religion had to be the centerpoint of the communities.

Yes, and I‘m sure it’s because the Democrat/Socialist Party has a BETTER plan? Let’s see theirs.
Obama has tripled our Nat’l debt! The world is in an economic storm! WAKE UP, people!
I’m praying our nation returns to the Lord, and the blessing & wisdom that comes with repentance and obedience. Deuteronomy 15:6 For the Lord your God will bless you as He has promised you, and you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow; and you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.
Deuteronomy 28:12 The Lord will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
Psalm 37:21 The wicked borrows and does not pay back, but the righteous is gracious and gives.
Proverbs 22:26-27 Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts; if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you.

Posted on March 29, 2012 at 4:50pmI agree with you Ian. We are in debt over 50 grand per man woman and child in America and that doesn’t count the unfunded liabilities of benefits that people like my grandparents voted for me to provide them with. The elderly in this nation have fleeced us for what we are all worth and without addressing this fact we are all doomed. And I haven’t even mentioned the ongoing costs of financing this debt. Historically, we paid ~8% interest on our national debt. Currently we are at 3% and the interest alone on the debt is more than it cost to wage war in Afghanistan and Iraq combined per year. If the interest rates go back up to the historical AVERAGE, it will be the equivalent of paying for every war since WWI all at the same time. We are truly in the crapper and alot of people still don’t recognize that the water we are in is yellow with turds floating in it. They all just think they are at a pool party.

Comparing the money Dems are sending to infinitely grow the power and control of gov’t & the money spent fighting WWII is a classic apples / oranges argument.
(I noticed you didn’t refer to Jews being killed- many more of them died than gays in WWII)
May I remind you that neither group were the point of us getting into WWII. It was absolutely clear that if we didn’t jump into Europe when we did, Germany had long term plans of ruling the entire world, including America. That was a national security issue- while it’s not found in the ennumerated powers, military spending is covered in the Federalist #41 and is deemed absolutely necessary, for both our national soverignty & our foreign commerce.
Healthcare is not a necessary function of gov’t, it has never been deemed so, nor is it the gov‘t’s proper role to force s/o to compel the purchase of something in order to create commerce, in order to regulate it. It’s not found in the ennumerated powers, it’s not in the Federalist papers, & the Administration has proven over the course of the last several days that no rational argument can be made that could make it Constitutional, period.
This thing is going to go down in a ball of flaming legal wreckage the likes of which haven’t been seen since the Supreme Court slapped FDR in the mouth re: the AAA, and just like FDR post AAA ruling, I‘ll be surprised if Obama doesn’t start threatening court packing if he’s reemmaculated.

Posted on March 29, 2012 at 6:08pm@CatB I would have voted no on the budget as well. 3.5 Trillion is still to much, we need to cut it down to 2.5 Trillion or lower. Why should be pass a budget that puts us 1 Trillion further into debt. Same insanity just a bit slower. Before we criticize those 10 Republicans we should find out their position on why they voted No. Perhaps they feel the same as me in that 3.5 Trillion is still to big of a budget.
