Budget Debate and Continuous Resolution (CR)

With Paul Ryan releasing the Republicans 2012 propose budget with cuts of nearly $6 Trillion over 10 years and yet both parties cannot agree on just a mere $61 Billion in cuts for the 2011 budget. The same budget the Democrats when they were in control would not pass. Do you really think they will agree on anything in the propose 2012 budget? Therefore, we might as well not have no CR and allow the government to shut down. Essential services will still be funded as well as Medicare, Medicaid and SS. So let the shutdown begin. We will save money in the process. The Democrats have spent nearly $4 Billion in just 2 years and increased our deficit from $10 Billion to today's present $14 Billion and there is no end in sight with the spending. Now is the time to stand up. We must tell the Republicans to get a backbone and remind them that what happen in November 2010 can happen again in 2012.
