Let's make something perfectly clear:
A Continuing Resolution funds all funding from the previous year, and funds all legally passed programs and agencies.
Parts of ObamaCare were set to be funded as of Oct. 1st, as per the ObamaCare law. This law was passed by BOTH Houses of Congress, signed into law by the President, and found Constitutional by the Supreme Court.
That said, the House need to submit a CR to the Senate that funds all existing programs and all legally approved laws, agencies, etc.
Why? And I don't mean waste my time with your "I just discovered five minutes ago that I have a strong belief that this is the way it should be" bullshit. I mean show me anywhere that the law says Congress is obligated to fund everything.
Ok, I'll entertain your lunacy ... enumerate where you find Obama is splitting the country ...You do comedy also..cool
You're in such deep deep denial, I figure it's a complete waste of time.

If you weren't spouting the complete idiocy you are, you'd be able to demonstrate your nonsense rather than blathering empty retorts.
So which is it ... ? Can you enumerate where you find Obama is splitting the country or am I right in saying you're a moron who doesn't know what in the hell they're talking about?

No worries. You've thoroughly convinced me beyond any shadow of doubt that I was right -- you are a moron who doesn't know what in the hell you're talking about.You're in such deep deep denial, I figure it's a complete waste of time.

You seem desperate..
Why throw pearls at lazy swine, it's a waste of time, that's the reality.

Are you really going to argue that it is not a disaster?
are you seriously going to argue that it IS a disaster?
Obama and Democrats are the hostage takers, blackmailers, acting like terrorist in that they won't compromise on ANYTHING which what is has been done IN THE PAST...
They are not the blackmailers...they sent the house a clean funding bill that fully accepts funding the government the way the house wanted. Just taking out the GOP's personal agenda against ACA out of it.
If the house will not fund the government without getting their personal agenda on obamacare through...then by all means they are doing the blackmailing.

See, you're a complete waste of time, Porky..
And Obamacare is not the personal agenda of Harry Reid and Barack Obama? Gettoutatown.
What does Obamacare have to do with the budget when almost all of it is mandatory spending? Funding the government is ALL about discretionary spending and the GOP is pulling ACA into it blatantly using the CR bill as a tool to further their agenda against ACA.
With all that interest money, Nyvin, there is no longer discretionary money. It's all going to interest on paying back the $17 Trillion dollar debt. Half of it is going to get paid by the end of Obama's first term. Oh, wait that's over, and the 1.3 trillion Obama blamed on Bush has now mushroomed into a National Debt of $17 Trillion! *sigh*What does Obamacare have to do with the budget when almost all of it is mandatory spending? Funding the government is ALL about discretionary spending and the GOP is pulling ACA into it blatantly using the CR bill as a tool to further their agenda against ACA.
U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time
Don't worry, though if you're a taxpayer, your share is only $148,200. Sell the house and that will clear it.
Oh wow, nice job completely dodging the point. ACA is MANDATORY SPENDING....not discretionary...discretionary spending is stuff like the military and education dept and dept of transportation.
Discretionary spending is the stuff being talked about in the budget...except for the GOP house pushing their agenda through on ACA which is mandatory spending. The fact that ACA gets brought up in budget talks at all shows the GOP is just using Budget talks to blackmail through a personal agenda and use it for political gain.
No worries. You've thoroughly convinced me beyond any shadow of doubt that I was right -- you are a moron who doesn't know what in the hell you're talking about.
See, you're a complete waste of time, Porky..
Well it's not as if I didn't offer you an opportunity to explain yourself.
You couldn't. So if there was a waste of time, it was all yours.
Was just watching the news.
The House approved a spending plan and part of it is to delay Obamacare by a year.
Reid has already declared the bill DOA in the Senate. Just another bill he can add to the pile collecting dust on his desk.
Anyone with half a bain cell can see who the obstructionists are. Why Harry Reid and the Dems.
Color me fucking shocked.
Obama and the Senate made clear they won't negotiate on ACA...why are the republicans insisting ACA be put on the table. There is no reason for it to be on the budget, just take it off already.
Why does the GOP need to knuckle under to Obama and the Demcraps before negotiations even start? Who does Obama think he is, Vladimir Putin?
Because ACA has already been passed, verfied by the supreme court, and it's mandatory spending which will happen with or without a budget passed (CR passed). There is no point for it to be on the budget other than the fact the GOP has no other way to shut it down (or at least try to)
No worries. You've thoroughly convinced me beyond any shadow of doubt that I was right -- you are a moron who doesn't know what in the hell you're talking about.

You can't lie your way through this. As you've been informed, whether you comprehend it or not, two of the leading indicators of the economy are GDP and unemployment; and both have improved over the last four years.How? The Great Recession and their efforts to delay recovery so they might have time to rewrite history and blame Obama for it which began in 2007. In fact such was not a bad idea, they convinced some of the dumber 'conservatives' that Obama was responsible for the Great Recession of 2007 -2009. Simply ask CrusaderFrank, Stephanie, Willow tree or the Rabbi.
You didnt answer the question.
The Great Recession is not the problem. That's long past. The Not-So-Great Recovery is the problem. Virtually every metric on the economy is worse today than when Obama took office: household income, household wealth, etc etc. The only ones making out are the very wealthy.
Obama's recovery is worse than Bush's recession.
The Dems had unlimited access to government for 2 years and passed many programs and bills. Obama's control of the executive branch has gone on for 5 years. The result is the worst economy since the Great Depression.
Republicans passed a budget. Not our fault that the Democrats in the Senate and White House wont even consider a compromise.
And it's not exactly like this is going to hurt Republicans. I know that the conventional "wisdom" says that it will. But the last last big one still had Republicans Controlling Congress with more wins.
The GOP "Compromise" basically comes down to
A. Do not implement ACA
or
B. Do not implement ACA
Can you understand why the Senate isn't interested in this "compromise"
And Obamacare is not the personal agenda of Harry Reid and Barack Obama? Gettoutatown.

I'm sorry, but did you just tell us that you think labeling something "mandatory spending" somehow makes it not a part of the federal budget?
