Americans can look forward to another government stand-off after Obama's budget is released later today. "Like the 2012 budget, it has no chance of being adopted by Congress," writes The Washington Post's Ezra Klein.
GOP-ers will be incensed by the budget, most of all because it breaks Obama's promise to halve the deficit.
Republican Paul Ryan has fired the first shot in this battle, telling POLITICO that
We face a totally predictable debt crisis, and this is the fourth year in a row that the president has ducked it. I honestly thought he would triangulate after the 2010 elections, but he’s moved left.
WaPo's Klein defends the broken deficit promise, arguing that "fulfilling that promise" would have been "a dumb thing to do."
What's your take - are Republicans just trying to score political points, or has Obama really "moved left"? And would deeper cuts really be "a dumb thing to do"?

Judged: 7 4 3 Republicans refuse to permit the passage of a budget and create crises around spending and deficit-reduction agreements, then blame Obama for 'not being able to pass a budget.' Their hypocrisy is as obvious as their partisan need for issues to use in an election year, which is all this is. The good thing is, as more people see more of this behavior, Republicans will have "no chance" of retaining the House, taking the Senate, or occupying the White House. And those are GOOD things.:) |

Judged: 1 1 1 1) Republicans actions seem to be the actions of the ignorant; 2) Democrats (especially Obama) seems undoubtedly to have the actions of under-the-table, behind-the-back devious criminals out to dismantle America. Proud Americans must unite to "INFORM & ENLIGHTEN" lost REPUBLICANS and "DESTROY" the evil currently residing within the DEMOCRAT PARTY. |

Judged: 3 1 1 You do know that the Democrats controlled both the House and Senate until 2010, right? And that no Dem controlled congress has balance a budget in 40 years. So it was Democrats who stopped Obama's progress. But hey, be stoopid and keep the party lie going. |

Judged: 4 1 LOL. From the very beginning? In the very beginning, Oblunder had a democrat majority in both houses; GOP couldn't block anything even if they tried. If they were able to, Healthscam would never have passed, and unemployment would not be as bad as it is now. Besides, it's Harry Reid that refuses to even consider a budget. Nice try to spin it though. |
