BEST BUDGET EVER!!

Oh this is funny stuff! After two solid weeks of complaining and whining about President Obama's budget and not offering one single alternative, the Republican Party today unveiled its alternative budget plan for the country-- WITH NOT ONE SINGLE NUMBER IN THE PLAN!

You can read the entire budget plan here.

Republicans are calling the budgetless plan the Republican Road to Recovery.



How is it humanely possible to submit a budget without numbers? I've worked in government and budgets for 7 years now. I've written budget proposals for the State of Illinois and never did we ever write one without actual numbers. Budgets contain spending proposals and deficit or surplus projections. The new GOP plan for our country contains not one single spending proposal or one single deficit projection. It's merely a wish list that says they will cut spending, shrink government, cut taxes and return America to prosperity, we just have to take them on their word cause they ain't showing us anything else. We've all heard before Republican promises of spending cuts and shrinking government and what we got was 8 years of George Bush.

It gets even better.

• When Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) was asked what his goal for deficit reduction would be -- President Obama aims to halve the nation's spending imbalance within five years -- Boehner responded simply: "To do better [than Obama]."
• The plan commits Republicans "to ensur[ing] that the federal budget cannot grow faster than families' ability to pay the bill" ... though it doesn't explain what metric the party would use to measure the "average" family's debt burden.

This from the Politico:

“In his egocentric rush to get on camera, Mike Pence threw the rest of the Conference under the bus, specifically Paul Ryan, whose staff has been working night and day for weeks to develop a substantive budget plan," said a GOP aide heavily involved in budget strategy.

"I hope his camera time was gratifying enough to justify erasing the weeks of hard work by dozens of Republicans to put forth serious ideas," the person added.

"It's categorically untrue," said Pence spokesman Matt Lloyd. "Cantor as well as Ryan and the rest of the leadership have been part of this process for weeks. They not only signed off on it, but their staffs helped edit it."

I'm sure I'll have more. A budget without numbers, just hilarious.
