Why don't you ask why the President's Democrats in the Senate and House have overwhelmingly voted against the President's budget proposal every time?

Democrats are not the majority.

So what? If you're going to call out the GOP you need to know the history of the Dems on this exact subject. They never voted for his budget proposals when they did own the House and Senate by the way. Maybe you should find out why.

Very simple - Higher spending, higher taxes, and a budget that still doesn't balance.

The real question here is why is a 4.1 trillion dollar budget being submitted when the average tax revenues collected are 3.3 trillion? All of us do not operate our own households in this manner. The deficit continues to add to the real national security issue, national debt. This is economics 101 folks. The national debt has grown from 10 trillion to 19 trillion over the last 7 years, and that is with combat operations supposedly ceased (remember Bush's two wars and the cost). The budget calls for billions to attack climate change. How about fixing our domestic problems to include aiding our veterans and investing in small businesses that could provide jobs before we decide to take on something beyond our control. And economic growth? 94 million Americans out of work does not translate to economic growth.
