ON NBC'S MTP AND ON CNN THIS LAST SUNDAY, JACK LEW BLAMED THE GOP FOR THAT FACT THAT THE DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED SENATE HASN'T PASSED A BUDGET IN OVER 1000 DAYS.
HE SAID THE GOP WOULD'VE JUST FILIBUSTERED IT.
WRONG.

WRONG.
WASH POST:
[FORMER OBAMA BUDGET DIRECTOR AND CURRENT CHIEF OF STAFF ] Lew is completely wrong when he claims that 60 votes are needed to “pass a budget in the Senate.” As he well knows, a budget resolution is one of the few things that are not subject to a filibuster.
In fact, that is one reason why a bill based on reconciliation instructions cannot be filibustered.
You don’t even need 50 votes, just a simple majority. Here are a few of the recent close votes for the budget resolution, as listed by CRS: 48-45 (2009 budget); 51-49 (2006); 51-50 (2004); 50-48 (2001). Senate Democrats may have reasons for failing to pass a budget plan—such as wanting to avoid casting politically inconvenient votes—but a GOP filibuster is not one of them.NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, LEW IS BOTH A LIAR AND DOPE: ONLY A STUPID LEFT-WING PROPAGANDIST WOULD SAY AND REPEAT SOMETHING SO OBVIOUSLY WRONG ON THE FACTS.
THIS TYPIFIES OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES:
STUPID INCOMPETENT LEFT-WING LIARS.
AND CROOKS.
VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
