Senate vote: Ryan budget 40--Obama budget 0

It's been over 750 days since the Democratic-controlled Senate passed a budget. Last night the upper chamber held a series of votes on proposed budgets. Rep. Paul Ryan's "controversial" budget received 40 votes. President Obama's budget proposal received zero votes.

Zero. It's as low as you can go.

The House of Representatives passed the Ryan budget last month.

The Senate didn't pass anything last night.

    There is a simple reason that the Dems are winning this debate that has nothing to do with what is actually in the bill, and everything to do with effective marketing. The Dems have taken a page from the GOP playbook and have reversed the tables on them for the first time in a long time. Read my blog where I have broken it down and explained why and HOW the Dems are having the GOP's lunch on this issue.

    You know what this current crowd of GOP liars want is to turn the United Sates into China, where only a few giant corporations run things, they own the factories, that apartments, the grocery stores, the gas stations, the newspaper and magazine publications, the radio stations, the television stations and you pay them and they get all the benefits, and if you do not like it go jump off cliff. Well some Chinese workers seeing that as individuals that they cannot progress have done just that by committing suicide. The current crowd of GOP liars want to abolish Medicare from the elderly, they want to abolish a woman’s right to choose and have control over her own body, they want to abolish collective bargaining rights, and on top of it all they want to blame the middle class and public sector workers for a recession that they created, while their beloved “Fat cats” continue to pay themselves exorbitant salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits. Yes this is the GOP “Radical Right-Wing Social Engineering” that they dream about. New York was the beginning but the next will be Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and later the other states of our nation. The GOP real failed so all the can do is double down and try to save some face, the retirees will finish them off if they keep it up.
