755 Days & Counting Since Senate Democrats Passed A Budget It’s been 755 days since U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and the Democrats who run the Senate have performed the most basic job function of Congress by passing a federal budget. Additionally in the 112th Congress, Democrats like Debbie Stabenow haven’t even offered their budget proposal, because their leaders – Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) and Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) – have stated that not only do Democrats not have the time to propose a budget, but it would be “foolish” of them to do so. “Michiganders deserve to know if Senator Debbie Stabenow agrees with her liberal party leaders that it’s foolish for Democrats to offer their budget proposal or if she believes it’s time for the Senate to do its job and pass a budget,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “With a national debt of…

750 Days And $3.1 Trillion More in Debt Later, Stabenow & Senate Democrats Still Haven’t Passed A Budget
In the 112th Congress, Senate Democrats Haven’t Even Proposed A Budget As a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2000, Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) repeatedly expressed her support for a balanced budget and routinely pilloried Republicans for their fiscal record in Washington. Yet today marks a full 750 days since Stabenow and the Democrat-controlled Senate have passed ANY budget, let alone a balanced budget. In fact, in the current 112th Congress, Senate Democrats have yet to even propose a budget, let alone debate and pass one. And in just the 750 days since Stabenow and his fellow Democrats who run the Senate have failed to pass a budget, the federal debt has risen by an additional $3.1 trillion. “Every month, every Michigan family has to put together a budget and live within their means, yet Debbie Stabenow and her fellow liberal Democrats apparently don’t believe they should be held to that…
One Day After Voting To Raise Energy Taxes, Stabenow Votes Against Domestic Energy Production
Incumbent Once Again Exposed For Election-Cycle Political Posturing After weeks of election-cycle political posturing – and just one day after voting to raise energy taxes while Michiganders suffer from $4-a-gallon gas – liberal U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) voted today against a measure that is actually aimed at combating high gas prices for Michigan families and small businesses, while creating thousands of new American jobs. Just yesterday, after weeks of grandstanding, Stabenow and the liberal wing of the Democrat party attempted to ram through an admittedly unconstitutional scheme to raise energy taxes while Michiganders struggle to afford near-record-high gas. The non-partisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) reported that Stabenow and the Democrats’ proposed energy tax hikes would “make oil and natural gas more expensive for U.S. consumers and likely increase foreign dependence,” and thankfully, a bi-partisan Senate majority rose to defeat Stabenow’s price-raising, job-killing tax hikes. Stabenow’s opposition to the Offshore…
