Question

Why aren't the Democrats hitting harder on the Republicans inability to balance the annual federal budget?

Answer 1

Mostly because it is the Congress that spends money and right now the democrats have the majority.  They do not want to go down that road..  

Answer 2

Because they voted for the war, they have increased the pork spending.  To bring up the budget would open up all the spending they have put forth.

Answer 3

Those idots are just as much to blame that's why.

Answer 4

umm... did you happen to notice the demos didn't balance it either last year? Oh yeah, they'll do it this year. No wait, they have to be here to do that, and in true liberal style, they chose to debate Mylar balloons instead.

Answer 5

They do this every year . . . it's almost like the prefer to lose so they can complain about those nasty Republicans . . . truly, and I'm saying this as a life-long Democrat, the DNC is moronic . . . it's clearly administered by people who were too stupid to get elected to office . . .

This is the best analogy for the relationship between the DNC and the RNC . . .Suppose everyday you walk the same way to work . . . There are lots of alternate routes . . . but you choose to take the same route everyday.  Now suppose every day at exactly the same place and exactly the same time someone jumps on the sidewalk and punches you in the nose.  You go to your office and complain to your coworkers about this awful guy that keeps hitting you but you never change your route . . .

Get were I'm going with this . . .?

Answer 6

That would not be tactically advisable given that the Democrats are the majority party in Congress right now.  Such a tactic may well work against them, especially since they also approved the spending.

Answer 7

Good question. And why are they not promoting that Social Medicine will end employers having to buy employee health insurance and the even more back breaking Workman's Compensation insurance? Think of the money companies will save. I imagine it would be many billions of dollars!

Why is the health insurance burden put on companies? Shouldn't they just be concentrating on what they do best?

Answer 8

because the democrats have controlled the budget fro the last two years..bush has not opposed their financial plans in any way..

that is why gw bush has the lowest approval rating of any recent president.

it is true it is about 30 %

however pelosi's democrat Congress has set a all tine low...8%

Answer 9

I would imagine it is because the Democrats want to be as spend happy or more than the Republicans.  Democrats are the party of social programs domestically and to the world.  So even if they end the war they will still be spending it hand over fist to help those they consider "poor" or "suffering from inequality in America."

Answer 10

They did when they weren't the majority in Congress.  Now it's their turn at the trough and no politician, Rep or Dem, is fool enough to ruin that, sensible economic policy be damned.
