Bush, by the same people who now want to distance Obama from the state of federal finances. The truth is that the senate, congress and president all have a hand in the finances of the country because nothing can be done without their co-operation. Tomorrow the house could propose a bill that would put the finances of the federal government in order but unless it passes the senate and the president signs the bill it is worthless. If Obama was a good president he would (essentially) refuse to sign any bills until their was a proper budget passed, and he would demand that the deficit be reduce in this budget bill to a certain level and let the house and senate figure out how they were going to do it. |
I agree but the tea party is bat-sh-t nuts and was started by billionaire Koch brothers. . A few weeks ago, former Reagan and George W. Bush adviser, Bruce Bartlett lashed out at his Party (which he has now been excommunicated from) saying, “The Republican Party was the Party of ideas and now it’s the Party of crazy people, ignorant Tea Party people – people who know nothing and are proud of it.”
