RSC: Budget hiatus older than the iPad.

So. We *move on*.

RESIZE: AAA

The Republican Study Committee has a new ad out pointing out how long it’s been since we had a budget:

As the RSC put it:

January 24, 2012 marks the 1,000th day without a budget from Senate Democrats. The last time they passed a budget, you had never heard of the iPad. Tiger Woods was only known for his golfing abilities. General Motors had never declared bankruptcy. You had never heard of Swine flu. And the national debt was $4 trillion smaller than it is today.

And, remember that this is solely the fault of the Democrats. They refused to pass a budget in the last Congress because they thought that it would hurt them in the 2010 elections. Then, once the House flipped back to the Republicans and the Democratic Senate majority was literally decimated, the Democrats in the Senate still refused to pass a budget. The Democratic party has willfully and deliberately abrogated its primary responsibility in Congress, and they must not be permitted to think that they may freely do so without even more dire electoral consequences than the ones that they have already suffered.

They must not.

    Those man-on-the-street polls they do indicate that the majority of people don’t know who the VP is, so I think they should have very clearly spelled out that all that time had passed since the DEMOCRATIC Senate leadership had come up with a budget. I think you can’t be too basic with today’s electorate.

    They know the name of The Bachelor from this season, but they don’t know that the Senate is in the hands of Democrats.

    So One-bama wants 1.2 trillion more and he has no intention of telling use where it is all going?

    It’s like watching a bank robbery in broad daylight with the robbers not waring masks and casually loading the loot into their own cars. They don’t care if you see it, because the police (aka the MSM) are working for the robbers.

    If the American voters don’t wake up we will get 4 more years of One-bama and America as we know it will not survive.

    BTW, when was the last time any arm of the GOP worked hard together, sealed the deal, and made all of us little republicans really happy?

    That’s the kind of hoodlum president we have in office.
