A few weeks ago, President Obama introduced his budget plan for the new fiscal year to Congress. Now, the Senate just gave him some bad news.
Obama’s plan is flawed at best and delusional at worst. It proposes that we increase taxes and spending, but ignore the annual budget deficit that contributes to our extreme national debt.
If history has anything to say about it, President Obama is not likely to be swayed by Congress decision. As we’ve seen in the past, Obama has little respect and is willing to go around formal process in order to get his way. We’ve got little doubt that Obama will continue to move forward with his own plans and tax hardworking Americans as much as possible.
Still, it should be noted just how strong the opposition to his proposal was; the Senate voted against it 98 to 1. The single supporter of the motion was Tom Carper, a Democrat from Delaware.
“Since 2011, it’s only gotten two votes for the president’s proposed budget, 1,023 votes against,” Texas Snator John Cornyn told reporters.
What do you think? Is Obama an embarrassment to the American people?
