Nothing is going to stop the Democrats out of control spending. Via Human Events:
Last night, as part of a procedural vote on the emergency war supplemental bill, House Democrats attached a document that “deemed as passed” a non-existent $1.12 trillion budget. The execution of the “deeming” document allows Democrats to start spending money for Fiscal Year 2011 without the pesky constraints of a budget.
The procedural vote passed 215-210 with no Republicans voting in favor and 38 Democrats crossing the aisle to vote against deeming the faux budget resolution passed.
Never before — since the creation of the Congressional budget process — has the House failed to pass a budget, failed to propose a budget then deemed the non-existent budget as passed as a means to avoid a direct, recorded vote on a budget, but still allow Congress to spend taxpayer money. (emphasis added)
Congress has never, since the creation of the Congressional Budget process, failed to create a budget until today.
What did Nancy Pelosi say about the most ethical Congress ever?
Can I “deem my taxes as paid” without going to prison?
Somehow, I don’t think they would go for that.
