Democrats to Drop Health Care and Global Warming From Obama’s Budget?

  There may be a fissure opening up in the Democrat party. It may be small right now but it appears as though it may be growing.

  Yesterday I wrote about the “Mod Squad” Democrats and their reservations about the president’s budget proposal here, and it appears that, according to this article, more Democrats are worried about passing the president’s budget with some of the more expensive, leftists items that are included.

  Democrats appear ready to trim down the president’s budget by removing the funding for socialized health-care, and tax cap and trade, two of this president’s most cherished issues. Essentially they will be punting these items down the road, not eliminating them altogether.

  During this time of crisis, to use the president’s word, it is time to reduce spending. The country cannot afford to increase spending. The left had a saying about the high gas prices last year, they were fond of saying, “we cannot drill our way out of this,” well now we have a fiscal crisis and we cannot spend our way out of this.

  Now, more than ever, it is time for fiscal responsibility. Fiscal responsibility has been AWOL for far too long and will continue to be absent under this president. Let us just hope that the Democrats and Republicans who are leery of this budget proposal will stick to their guns. I have my doubts.

  We can debate the socialization of health care and we can debate the fraud that is the cap and trade, global warming hoax but the time is not now. Now is the time to bring spending under control, we have to stop spending money that we do not have. Once the economy turns around we can have the conversation about health-care and global warming, but we can’t afford to further burden an American people who are already stretched too thin and nervous about their future finances.
