House Democrats ‘Deem’ Faux $1.1 Trillion Budget ‘As Passed’

Last night, as part of a procedural vote on the emergency war supplemental bill, House Democrats attached a document that “deemed as passed” a non-existent $1.12 trillion budget.

The execution of the “deeming” document allows Democrats to start spending money for Fiscal Year 2011 without the pesky constraints of a budget.

The procedural vote passed 215-210 with no Republicans voting in favor and 38 Democrats crossing the aisle to vote against deeming the faux budget resolution passed.

Republicans in power do the same type of bull crap. All because we have a public that blindly follows either dems. or reps. (depending on which way they lean) instead of listening to objective analysis of the facts.
