after Senator Reid's Comments about how it would be "foolish" for Democrats to put up a budget (as it would force them to defend something rather than just attack Republicans), the President's apparent willingness to put aside compromise in order to kick off the 2012 election cycle, and Nancy Pelosi's declaration that even the Bi-Partisan Simpson-Bowles Commission plan was "Dead on Arrival"; can we really be surprised at one more indication that Democratic leadership doesn't really take the fiscal future of this nation seriously?
Vice President Biden is being touted as the White House point man on the budget, leading the discussions with Congress as our nation’s leaders try to come up with a plan to slash the deficit and avoid defaulting on the debt.
With Congress back in town following the Memorial Day recess, bargainers are set to stream back to the table, roll up their sleeves, and start hashing through the numbers. Biden will be leading the charge.
Wait a second. No he won’t. It’s back to foreign policy for the vice president. This just in from the White House:
Vice President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden have departed en route Rome, Italy, to lead the Presidential Delegation to the Celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Unification of Italy on Thursday, June 2.
Though the Treasury Department has already begun taking extraordinary measures to avoid default, budget talks can wait apparently for unification of Italy celebrations to end....
Biden and his wife won’t be back until Saturday.
