OK, you obvious democrats you.  I want some fact.  Show me the voting record
of Ronald Reagan in the Senate or House on any of those budgets mentioned!
Show me the record of Jimmy Carter while you are at it.  Enough of this Hog
Wash about which president did what with which budget!!!  None of them did
it.  I am not even going to bother quoting relevant chapter and verse from
the Constitution, you would ignore that also.  

Now, let's talk budgets!  What is the voting record of House and Senate
demos and reps?  There is the meat of the subject.  Who proposed what
budgets and who made what ammendment suggestions and how did the vote go
on those ammendments?  I have my ideas of how they went, you obviously
have Tip's.  So let's get some facts about the PROPOSALS and VOTES to
talk about, or else not bother with talking budgets. 

Besides, we all know that (:-)) Democrats don't think any budget is too
large if it all goes to welfare and Republicans don't think any budget
is too large if it all goes to defense. (Obvious sarcastic generalization
and oversimplification!!!)
