Senate Democrats refuse to commit to balancing the federal budget, ever
It's one of things that ought to be a no-brainer. Deficits are bad. Even Dear Leader says so, sometimes. But Harry Reid and his band of merry spendthrifts can't be bothered with balancing the federal budget. Nope. Not when there's pork to be barrelled and millionaires to vilify.
On the plus side they finally did fulfill their Constitutional duty by crafting a budget proposal. The bad news is it accelerates spending and raises taxes. So Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) proposed a simple motion to send the Democrats' plan back to committee with instructions to figure out how to balance it by 2023.
No can do, said the Democrats.
Every Democrat except one -- Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia -- opposed it, while all Republicans voted for it. The measure failed on a 46-53 vote.
It's almost as if they aren't serious about cutting the deficit.
