It’s Official: Hanabusa’s Democrats Fail to Pass a Budget

Dem Leaders Refuse to Provide Badly Needed Fiscal Discipline to Create Jobs, Grow the Economy

RELATED: Obama's Budget Director Quits

News Release from www.NRCC.org 

Washington- Once again, House Democrats are running scared. In order to avoid a vote on the record trillion-dollar deficits they are responsible for accumulating since taking office, Democrats have confirmed that they will be the first House majority that has failed to pass an annual budget resolution since the Congressional Budget Act was adopted in 1974. Instead, Colleen Hanabusa’s party has chosen to force through their spending agenda with a procedural budget scheme that fails to even acknowledge the need to control deficits. 

“Colleen Hanabusa’s Democrat friends continue to dismiss opportunities to rein in government spending and provide the fiscal discipline needed to create jobs and grow the economy,” said NRCC Communications Director Ken Spain. “While Democrats are contriving a legislative loophole to continue with their out-of-control spending spree, it has become painfully obvious that Hanabusa and her fellow Washington politicians are not only unable to come up with a budget, but unfit to govern. With each passing day, Democrats are ignoring the demands of American taxpayers who are asking them to evaluate whether each government program is worthy enough for our children and grandchildren to be paying for it.”

In an attempt to hide from the trillion-dollar deficits they have racked up, Democrat leaders led by Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) will not pass a budget in 2010:

“House Democrats will not pass a budget blueprint in 2010, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) will confirm in a speech on Tuesday.” 

“The House has never failed to pass an annual budget resolution since the current budget rules were put into place in 1974.” (Jared Allen, “Dems won’t pass budget in 2010,” The Hill, 6/22/2010)  

And with such high levels of voter frustration driving Americans to prefer Republican candidates by a two-to-one margin, it’s no surprise that Colleen Hanabusa is in fear of her election: 

“ A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 44% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for their district's Republican congressional candidate, while 36% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent. Last week, Republicans led 46% to 36%, tying the GOP's largest lead ever since it first edged ahead of the Democrats a year ago.  

“While solid majorities of Democrats and Republicans support the candidates of their own party, voters not affiliated with either major party prefer the Republican candidate by a two-to-one margin. (“Generic Congressional Ballot,” Rasmussen Reports, 6/21/2010)
