Republicans Will Not Give Typical Formal Response To Obama Jobs Speech

[BT]

What i do know is the House and Senate reconciled a budget that covers until the end of Sept 2011, signed by Obama 4/15/2011. So where did the figures come from?

[sirs]

Please provide for me the last time the majority Senate Democrats proposed their budget, to be reconciled with the House's.  THAT's the point I've been making all along.

[BT]

On 4-11-2011 . I believe the reconciliation bill was submitted by Tom Harken

[sirs]

I realize this need to answer a question that was never asked.  Care to try again?  Please provide for me the last time the majority Senate Democrats proposed their budget, to then be later reconciled with that of the House.

According to some pundits, it has been 900+ days. Is the Senate required to submit its own budget?

[sirs]

According to some pundits, it has been 900+ days.

Thank you.  Why this need to be dancing around what you knew I was precisely talking about, is beyond me       

[BT]

Did you answer my question in that response?

Is the Senate required to propose a budget?

[sirs]

IIRC, it is a responsibility of theirs.  NO, it doesn't originate from the Senate, and every Senate in recent history, has been producing one that then is reconciled with the House.  I'm willing to be educated though, when was the last time, prior to the "900days" did the Senate go, without submitting their own budget plan?  And when before that?

[BT]

I have no idea but i do know they are not required to propose their own budget, they can rubber stamp, amend or modify one that originates from the house.

[sirs]

Nor did I claim any such, outside of a primary responsibility to introduce their plan to be reconciled with the House.  The House is the purse strings, and recent history has the Senate proposing budget plan after budget plan, after budget plan....up until the last 900days or so

[BT]

Nor did I claim any such, outside of a primary responsibility to introduce their plan to be reconciled with the House.

They don't have to introduce a plan. They can simply submit a resolution agreeing with the House appropriations.

So I'm not sure why you think the lack of a non required Senate budget is such a big deal.

[sirs]

Being that they've been doing it year, after year, after year...UP UNTIL the last "900+days", I'd say its a big deal

[BT]

Why? If it isn't required.
Perhaps you can provide a chronological list of senate budgets proposed to back up your claim. The law the budget process falls under is the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974

[sirs]

The Why is answered by the fact the Senate has been continuing to submit their own budget plans, year, after year, after year, after year......prior to the last 900+days

and I already asked you to demonstrate when they didn't.  You apparently chose not to follow up, with your "no idea".  I'll take your lead, on that

Why should i back up your claim?
