Paul Ryans budget gets voted down in the senate 59-40

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Pretty telling that his budget got votes in the senate but Obamas didnt. Question is will they actually follow through now by amending the bill? If sotthen it just goes to show that this budget DESPITE the cries of the left did indeed get the gears of the senate working after all these years.

The power brokers in Mordor on the Potomac generally do not want to spend less because the more they get to spend (and take and borrow) the more power they have to throw around, the more votes they can buy and manipulate, and the more intrenched they become

Paul Ryans budget gets voted down in the senate 59-40

the no.s are better for the Democrats than they appear - the 40 Rs knew it would fail yet they only got 40 from their own party - the showdown will be in Sept.


"The House voted 221-207, largely along party lines, to approve Ryan's nonbinding budget"

the closeness of the vote in the House should be more worrisome for the Republicans.
