the republicans have had thr ryan budget and variations of,the democrats have produced alternatives to ryans plan,and there were probaby some bi partisan plans made in the house as well.
the house has been doing its job,its been the senate thats been obstructionist.but whos to blame?the senate majority leader who blocks all bipartisan and non die hard wingnut liberal bills or the side that refuses to vote on die hard liberal bills?
there are checks and balances in congress,and i think its hard not to be to the opposite party when they dont even support half the crap they push out,or bring up how a bill must be passes so what know what it does,because something must be done,never once saying it must be done right
The Ryan budget is about the farthest thing you can possibly imagine from bi-partisan. It is a flat out declaration of war on the middle class exclusively for the sake of the rich. It is totally out of control. Cruel, fiscally irresponsible, maybe even economically suicidal. We will fight that hateful vision for the future of this country to our last dying breath, no doubt. We don't need to accept that evil. We can just do reconciliation until cooler heads prevail on the right and something sensible can be worked out. Sooner or later, adults will reclaim control of the GOP. We just need to weather the storm until that day.
