Boehner Says Obama Lacks "Guts" to Cut Spending
Trying the reverse psychology trick?
What President Obama says in his 2013 State of the Union Address isn't as important as what he leaves out.
President's budget proposal already overdue
Plan to advance a bill requiring one
Attempt to force Democrats into making concessions in budget negotiations
Senate hasn't passed one in four years
Assuming, of course, actual spending matches the budget, which it never does
Condescending Wonka would like to hear more from the president about fiscal responsibility
Only in Washington could you get away with referring to both spending hikes and tax hikes as spending "cuts."
Education and health spending on the rise, but those commitments still can't kill high-speed rail
While announcing spending increases
Senate hasn't passed budget resolution since 2009
State casts about for new stones to get blood from
Of course, having learned nothing over the past decade, politicians want to figure out how to spend it
It's like peeking through the looking glass
Not so dependent on D.C.'s teat
Boehner's against "backroom deals," and Obama's for "an unprecedented level of openness."
