Obama's proposal fails as to be "balanced," but, let's have his bill submitted to congress. Let's vote on his idea. Last time we voted on one of his budgets, it failed to get a single congressional vote.

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: It's not just a bad deal, this is really an insulting deal. What Geithner offered, what you showed on the screen, Robert E. Lee was offered easier terms at Appomattox, and he lost the Civil War. The Democrats won by 3% of the vote and they did not hold the House, Republicans won the house. So this is not exactly unconditional surrender, but that is what the administration is asking of the Republicans.

This idea -- there are not only no cuts in this, there's an increase in spending with a new stimulus. I mean, this is almost unheard of. What do they expect? They obviously expect the Republicans will cave on everything. I think the Republicans ought to simply walk away. The president is the president. He's the leader. They are demanding that the Republicans explain all the cuts that they want to make.

We had that movie a year-and-a-half ago where Paul Ryan presented a budget, a serious real budget with real cuts. Obama was supposed to gave speech where he would respond with a counter offer. And what did he do? He gave a speech where he had Ryan sitting in the front row. He called the Ryan proposal un-American, insulted him, offered nothing, and ran on Mediscare in the next 18 months.

And they expect the Republicans are going to do this again? The Republicans are going to walk on this. And I think they have leverage. Yes, for Congressional Democrats it will help them in the future if Republicans absorb the blame because we will have a recession. But Obama is not running again unlike the Congressional Democrats. He's going to have a recession, 9% unemployment, 2 million more unemployed, and a second term that's going to be a ruin. That is not a good proposition if you are Barack Obama . . . . .  text taken from RealClearPolitics

Editor's notes:  Krauthammer is on the right track,  but,  seriously,  why not tell the President,  

"Stop talking and submit your proposal to the House and we will vote on it,  within days."

Understand that the last time our Budget Genius submitted one of his budget proposals to the House,  it failed 414 to Zero and 97 to Zero in the Senate.  Can you imagine ??  A budget proposal so poorly written [by Obama] that it did not garner a single Democrat vote  -  not one.  

And what is his "new" budget proposal?  

1.6 trillion in new taxes on the so-called rich.

50 billion in new "stimulus." 

Presidential power to raise the debt ceiling on his own.  

Apparently,  no one in the WH understands that we are dealing with the "fiscal cliff."    There is nothing in the above plan that avoids the "fiscal cliff" and the financial disaster beginning a month from now.  

Instead of his 2012 campaign scenario of 800 billion dollars in new taxes,  Obama via Tim Geithner,  doubled that amount [yesterday, in a closed door meeting with the Republican leadership] to 1.6 trillion.  This proposal can only be seen as an insult to the GOP and nothing more.  When the GOP is saying,  "No new taxes via tax rate reform,"  and Obama comes back with a doubling of his original request,  that is a clear insult.  

More than this,  Obama's 1.6 trillion (over the course of a ten year period) will fund the government for less than 20 days.  Look,  this "fiscal cliff" issue  is the result of the fact that we no longer have money.   Taxing the rich  to get 20 days of income,  is an idiot's proposal,  and our congressmen know this.  So,  put it up for a vote.  

As to the 50 billion dollar stimulus.  How stupid is this idea?  If you remember,  in 2009,  our Fiscal Genius crammed through a one trillion stimulus and it accomplished nothing,  if ending the current recessionary period  was the goal. This part of the Obama proposal is simple "silly."  Even if "stimulus" works,  an amount equal to 1/20th of the 2009 proposal does not rise above level of "goofy."

And to give this clown, power to raise the debt ceiling at will,  good grief.  Understand that we are not talking his money,  we are talking about our money.  

Again,  I say,  let Obama have his bill submitted to the House.  Let's see how many representatives vote in his favor.  The last time Obama submitted such a proposal,  the total vote count was "zero"  om both houses of Congress.   

So,  bring it on.  Write your proposition,  submit it to congress,  and let's see what happens.
