Fiscal cliff debacle delays Obama's budget

Posted: Feb 4, 2013

Obama Administration sent a letter to Ryan informing him that budget would be late due to the fact that things needed to be factored in after the fiscal cliff issue was resolved. Link below.

Ryan seemed all surprised today and said he didn't know when they'd receive a budget from Obama, when the letter clearly stated it was going to be late, why it was late, and that they'd get it to him asap.

Also, W2s and 1099s and other forms necessary to file taxes were also delayed due to fiscal cliff. http://m.yahoo.com/w/legobpengine/finance/news/false-start-tax-season-183201233.html?.b=index%2F&.intl=us

What was his excuse for the last 4 years? - No budget at all.

Ryan shouldn't have been, as in your words, "all surprised" over this. It's Obama's character to disregard the law.

He has submitted budgets, albeit late and a record - sm

but he did submit them:

"Congressional aides in both parties said they expect to see the budget in mid- to late-March — a delay of more than a month, unmatched by any other incumbent president except, on one occasion, Ronald Reagan."

"Though Obama’s budget requests have been dead on arrival in Congress since Republicans took control of the House two years ago, the blueprint remains an important political document. That’s particularly true this year as lawmakers gird for showdowns over automatic spending cuts, a government shutdown and the federal debt limit."

If you want to research yourself for what you call an "excuse" go for it.

Why did his previously submitted "budgets" not get one - vote in the Senate? (msg)

Because they were jokes and not even meant to be serious. He is disrespectful of the LAW, to say the least.

Well, because the last one submitted didn't happen to - be put TO a vote? :) nm

Obama’s Fiscal Cliff Irresponsibility By Josh Barro Dec 3, 2012 7:35 PM ET After the Republicans' counteroffer on the fiscal cliff today, ABC's Jake Tapper tweeted a response from a senior White House official: "if GOP doesnt agree to higher rates for top 2%, we'll go over the cliff and the American people will hold them responsible." This is a hugely irresponsible threat from President Barack Obama's administration. &nbs ...

I’m opposed to an automatic debt limit extension that President Obama wants. You can’t let a President have the power over raising the debt limit because it would weaken the power of Congress. The President would be able to raise the debt limit every time he felt it would be necessary without a balanced budget or spending cuts. There would be a point where the country would be unable to pay the debt back and we would be another Greece. I’m hoping The GOP sticks to their guns ab ...

We get $620 billion dollars, very significant, high-end tax, changing the high-end tax rate to 39.6 percent, but that ...

Posts below regarding blaming Republicans. You must have learned the blame game from Obozo himself.

Some very interesting info in this article. President Barack Obama misrepresented the House Republicans’ budget plan at times and exaggerated its impact on U.S. residents during an April 13 speech on deficit reduction. Obama claimed the Republicans’ "Path to Prosperity" plan would cause "up to 50 million Americans … to lose their health insurance.” But that worst-case figure is based in part on speculation and assumptions. He said the GOP plan would repla ...

I'm not done looking at different reactions to FY2012. This one came from the National Taxpayers Union. It makes you stop and think how many times over the years this style of termination/reduction has been put in place by all other Presidents. Despite some worthy attempts at spending restraint, President Obama’s latest budget plan relies more heavily on new revenues, rosy economic assumptions, and accounting shifts than many taxpayers would expect, according to a speci ...
