Congress writes the actual budget...

This Week's Column: Congress Writes the Budget, Not the President
Echoing the feelings of many in Congress regarding executive branch budget proposals, Lincoln concluded, "I thank the president for his recommendations, but Congress writes the budget. I intend to support measures to reduce the deficit but fight many of the president's proposed cuts that will harm farmers, ranchers and rural communities."

The President sens 'recommendations' to Congress, who then writes the actual budget.
 
Then just like Liblady, you need an education as well. Read post 64

LOL.

1) The "takeover" of GM. GM repays U.S. loan, government loss on bailout falls | Reuters

2) You do realize that Bush initiated TARP. Regardless, President Bush made the right decision and President Obama continued knowing there was no other choice. Was it perfect? NO. Did it prevent the total collapse of the US economy? YES. We were on the brink with the entire world tethered to us.

LOL, do you think before you post, they paid off one loan with more borrowed money, the taxpayers are still in the hole for over 20 billion dollars.

Of course I know that Bush implemented TARP, a 700 billion Toxic Asset Relief Program, and he spent 350 billion of it leaving 350 billion to Obama. If Bush's TARP program did what you say then how is that Obama's success and where is the 1.3 trillion that Obama said he inherited?
 
What I find interesting is many of those who are mad at Obama for bailing out our auto industry would be calling him anti-American and anti-worker and anti-jobs if he had let Detroit go under.

Not me, the private sector would have stepped in like they always do but then of course they would have to re-negotiate all those union contracts. I would have let GM fail. Ford didn't take any money, why?
 
Wasn't addressing you specifically Conservative, just stating an opinion. There would definitely have been a lot of pissed off Americans when they found out they couldn't drive their Chevys and big trucks anymore. I'm sad they had to let Saturn go, personally. One of their better brands.

Let's all talk about the topic and not other posters.
 
Ooops, that is the last we will hear from Liblady. Liberals can never apologize for errors.

Okay then why are you blaming Obama for the budget and not the Congress? Base on your link, that is who we should be blaming right?

This is a good example of why you should not use Op/Ed's as a source. The president writes the budget each year and submits it to congress. Congress then writes appropriation bills which go back to the president. United States Code: Title 31,1105. Budget contents and submission to Congress | LII / Legal Information Institute

i made no error........bush was responsible for the 2009 budget, wether he actually penned it or not. he sent HIS budget to congress. YOU, however, are claiming that he had nothing to do with the 2009 buget. really, who won't admit their error?

Because the Congress and Obama are one in the same, both Democratic. Do you think that Congress gave Obama a budget that he wouldn't sign?

By that argument, Obama and I are one and the same, both democratic. YAY, I am the president!

Well, let's see if you can admit when wrong, where did the Obama 350 billion TARP, 787 billion Stimlus, 100 billion war supplemental show up in 2009? How did Obama inherit a 1.3 trillion deficit from Bush with those spending issues?

So why did Bush sign it if he didn't agree with it? He had the veto power right?

Bush sent his recommendations to Congress in mid 2008 for fiscal year 2009, Congress which was Democratic prepared the budget. TARP wasn't in the budget, neither was the Obama stimulus, neither were the war supplementals requested and signed by Obama so how did Bush create a 1.3 trillion dollar deficit? Was the budget that Bush submitted showing a 1.3 trillion dollar deficit? Answer:NO

I asked Liblady a question, suggest you answer it, did the Bush 2009 budget show a deficit of 1.3 trillion?

Are the deficit numbers in a budget proposal set in stone, or are they projections? Hint: the answer is projections, which will tell you something about what happened.
