House approves $3.6 trillion budget blueprint

what the HECK is going on in Washington???? HAS EVERY POLITICIAN LOST THEIR MIND!!!!!!!!!

WASHINGTON – The Democratic-controlled House approved a budget blueprint drawn to President Barack Obama's specifications Thursday and the Senate hastened to follow suit after administration allies rejected alternatives from liberals and conservatives alike.

The vote in the House was 233-196, largely along party lines, for a $3.6 trillion plan that includes a deficit of $1.2 trillion.

The country wants "real change, and we have come here to make a difference," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said as both chambers worked on plans to boost spending on domestic programs, raise taxes on the wealthy in two years' time and clear the way for action later in the year on Obama's priority items of health care, energy and education.

the rest

CHANGE?? what change is she referring to exactly?? changing the ink plates on the money machines b/c they're completely worn out??

The House budget provides for a "fast-track" procedure that would bar Senate Republicans from attempting to filibuster the legislation Obama wants to remake the nation's health care system. Republicans have warned that the prospects for bipartisanship will all but vanish if majority Democrats attempt to muzzle them.

this paragraph made me sick to my stomach.

if I hear Obama say that he inherited this mess one more time - I swear...

yea, you inherited a deficit, which you have TRIPLED in less than 3 months!
