Democrats to Republicans: Ignore The New Red Line Of Spend More - Or Else!

Senate Democrats have declared that they will filibuster Republican appropriation bills passed to implement the congressional budget adopted by the House and the Senate.

The Washington Post has labeled the effort "filibuster summer." And President Obama has pledged to veto any appropriation bills that survive such sabotage. The Democrat leadership is committed to this course even if it ends up shutting down the government.

Their complaint: The congressional budget passed by House and Senate Republican majorities, and the appropriation bills that will implement it, don't increase spending enough!

That's right: The Democrats are drawing a line in the sand. If the Republicans won't spend more, incurring larger deficits and greater federal debt, they'll shut down the government.

The Congressional Budget Office has scored the joint House and Senate budget resolutions as balancing the budget within 10 years. Democrats call that "austerity," because in their minds, government spending drives economic growth and prosperity.

This is the real trickle-down economics: Washington increases its spending, deficits and debt, and that's supposed to trickle down to working people and the middle class.

It hasn't worked under Obama for the past seven years. Indeed, it has never worked anywhere, ever, in world history. But Democrats are very slow learners. Rejection of the Keystone pipeline, costly overregulation, higher taxes and ObamaCare's disruption of full-time work are not good for jobs or increasing incomes for the middle class and working people.

Furthermore, the budgets proposed by Obama and Senate Democrats never balance the budget or reduce federal debt. Before Obama entered office, the all-time record deficit in American history was $458 billion in 2008. But deficits under him have never been as low as that previous record, even to this day, after seven years.
