I think that even if we had politicians capable of putting together a well conceived plan, a relatively small group can effectively veto any budget.

- anamax 17y agoThat may be true, but the actual claim was that the Repubs blocked something good. If so, we'll find said "something good" in Dem proposals. How many Dems were advocating 2005 level spending? How many Dems were willing to say "we'd love to have all these new programs but since we can't get the revenue, we're going to delay them or cut something else?" I'd love to be making 25% more than I actually am, but is it responsible to spend that way? If not, why are Dems off the hook?
