I think you mean Article 7, section 1

{Article I.}
Section. 7.

All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills.

Obama's failure to lead? That he would rather spend his time trying to keep his job, than actually doing the job? Oh hell yeah.

Perhaps you could quote the law he is breaking.

I get up every morning and have coffee, it is not a law, it is a habit.
I find it metaphysically insoluable to discuss constitution and law with those of the right, since they havent any knowledge of or inclination to get any in these matters.

I guess that I wouldnt waste any time on putting together a budget so it can be denounced by a dsyfunctional house either.

In short, Fuck em.

I think the cons are going to have to do better than ascribe their own personal/political failures/flaws to their opponents.

This do-nothing/lead-no-one congress claiming the president isn`t at work?..........lol....good luck w/ dat.

This obstructionist congress calling the president an obstructionist?.....oh please go with that......

.......

It`s a little like kids who respond to a dig with the same exact dig.....only repeated back......."you`re a wussy"....no you`re a wussy".....you`re a lame`o"....no you`re a lame`o"...you`re a slow-poke"...no you`re a slow poke"....and on and on and on.

Truly the height of intellectual discourse.

So why no budget, or even a debate about a proposed budget, when the Dems had full control, Owner59?

Are they that afraid of the public finding out what they are doing with our money?

That's calfshit, Tazzy (not even up to being called bullshit). The Blue Dogs wouldn't allow a discussion of the budget? C'mon.

Cuz I remember some shouting.

Any responsible budget plan would restore the former capital gains structure, which has gone from 28% to 20% to 15 %.

We don't have to 'remember' the shouting, it's still going on.

After giving more to the upper echelon in tax breaks and 30 years worth of significant deregulation in putative service to more "job creation," here we are, 10 million jobs in the hole and a worldwide wrecked economy. And they are still shouting.

I've got this big roll of duct tape, whatever should I do with it?

Ron and I are sorta trying to behave ourselves here, Edwynn. Don't ask questions like that right now.

You actually spelled my name correctly, beyond your previous level of a three year old, so I might take you at your word.

The point intended in any event was that the experiment has failed, by account of (nearly) all in the business of finance or capital management and OECD pronouncements on the matter, to such extent that further calls for more tax money to the wealthiest or further destruction by deregulation should be dismissed outright by any thinking person.

Again, thanks for speaking as an adult.

The title of this article is misleading, but the first sentence therein gets it right.

SOTU marks the 1,000th day since Dingy Harry Reid and his Dem cohorts allowed even the introduction of a budget bill.

LEAST productive Senate in history

The Democrats are the new "Know-nothing" party.

couple of comments, it would be cohort singular as in :

... marks the 1,000th day since Dingy Harry Reid and his Dem COHORT allowed even the introduction of a budget bill.

and the republicna party is firmly entrenched in its know-nothing party roots.

I think that introducing ratpoison bills under the guise of a budget bill in the senate is frivolous, and I wouldn't allow those bills introduction either.

somewhere in the beginnings of this thread there was some mumbling about a 'reasonable budget bill' not being passed, but there was no reasonable budget bill introduced.

But of course it is theater, MM. Misusing cohort by way of cohorts and implying that it means confederates or collusionists or something along those lines is a far reach by half, since there are only 100 in the senate, and he doesnt have that many in the senate in his party or amenable to his postions (Reid, ergo est).

And that doesnt even bring up any other misplacement and misinformation promulgated in this thread regarding the Do-nothingness of the Senate. They stopped the ratpoison republican bill in its tracks didn't they? That's certainly something.
