In the current 112th Congress, Democrats like Casey haven’t even offered any budget proposal, because their partisan leaders – Senators Harry Reid (D-NV) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) – have said that to do so would be “foolish,” and that Democrats do not have the time to propose a budget. Yet somehow, Casey and the Democrats found the time to take a week-long recess from Washington. Meanwhile in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, not only did they find the time to propose and pass a budget, but they were able to accomplish this simple task by April 15, 2011. “It’s ironic that Democrats like Bob Casey say they are too…

After Praising Obama Budget As “Blueprint For Success,” Candidate Kaine Cuts & Runs
Reckless Obama-Kaine Budget Failed To Garner A Single Vote In Senate Test As the Washington Democrats’ #1 Cheerleader, liberal former DNC Chairman Tim Kaine expressed strong support for President Obama’s budget proposal, calling it a “blueprint for success,” and claiming it “does not shy away from the reality of America’s difficult fiscal situation.” But now – after the U.S. Senate issued a stunning 0-97 rebuke of the proposal yesterday – Democrat Senate candidate Tim Kaine is changing his tune and, in a transparent attempt to run away from his liberal Washington record, is refusing to say whether he would have voted for the proposal. As the Washington Post reports: On a day when President Obama’s budget blueprint for 2012 couldn’t garner a single vote of symbolic support in the Senate, former Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) would not say how he would have voted if he were in the…
Even Fellow Democrats Reject Kaine & Obama’s Reckless Spending Agenda
In a strong 97-0 rebuke of liberal former DNC Chairman Tim Kaine’s agenda of reckless spending and tax hikes, every single voting Democrat U.S. Senator joined Republicans in refusing to even consider President Barack Obama’s irresponsible budget proposal, which includes billions of dollars in wasteful deficit spending and job-killing tax hikes. To be clear – not a single Democrat U.S. Senator was willing to vote to even proceed with considering the Obama-Kaine budget. Notably, as DNC Chairman earlier this year, Kaine was the #1 Cheerleader for the Obama budget proposal, calling it a “blueprint for success.” But, even months before the measure failed to garner a single vote in its first procedural hurdle, budget experts on both sides of the aisle blasted Kaine’s irresponsible scheme that includes $8.7 trillion in new spending, $1.6 trillion in tax hikes, and will add $13 trillion to the national debt, which already stands at…
