Obama budget

When the President came out with his budget a few months ago it was roundly criticized but by Republicans. They called it a joke. I assumed that was just politics but when I examined his budget, I could see that it was mostly a political statement since it had tax increases on the rich but the money was not to reduce the budget but it was used to add more new programs. Last night the house voted down the President’s budget by a vote of 414 to 0. Not one democrat voted for the President’s plan. I believe this proves the contention that it was nothing more than a political statement and not a realistic proposal. This is what I call a waste of time.
