Far too long - HUMAN EVENTS

April 29, 2009 was the date the last budget was passed by Congress. From April 2009 until January 2011 the Democrats had control of both houses and the presidency, and still no budget was passed. Yet we've heard time and again from our president about the do nothing congress, and the republicans being the party of no.

In February 2011 the newly elected republican majority in the house passed a budget. It was promptly rejected by the senate. President Obama submitted a budget also, which was voted on by the senate and was rejected 97-0.

So why does no one point out the do nothing democrat senate?

Congress in Stalemate Over Payroll Tax Cut, Unemployment Checks - HUMAN EVENTS

I really cannot imagine the logic that gets you to a position that republicans are the bad guys in this scenario. The republican majority House of Representatives voted to pass a 12 month extension, and the democrat lead Sentate voted on 2 months worth of the same. The Senate then adjourned for the holidays until January 23.

Members of a professional association that process payroll for employers nationwide have argued the 2 month version present many problems for companies that process their own payroll. The formula for deductions would change after February, which will mean payroll clerks will need to the change their systems, possibly delaying payrol checks to employees. There would also be a significant investment of time and money for those payroll processing companies for making system changes and testing them for accuracy.

President Obama called on the republicans to agree to the shorter term bill passed in the Senate, and then blamed them yet again for not cooperating in the legislative process. Is there a logical bone in Barack's body?

If you are a small government proponent you need to read this piece by George Will. If you are a large government proponent you need to read this piece by George Will.

Two key points made in this article are...

In an economic climate of increasing uncertainties, Puzder says, one certainty is that many businesses now marginally profitable will disappear when Obamacare causes that margin to disappear. A second certainty is that “employers everywhere will be looking to reduce labor content in their business models as Obamacare makes employees unambiguously more expensive.”

And,

Time was, American businesses could surmount such regulatory officiousness. But government’s metabolic urge to boss people around has grown exponentially and today CKE’s California restaurants are governed by 57 categories of regulations.
