| Obama Budget fails narrowly 0-97 |
| 2011-05-26 |
| Zero Senate Democrats voted to move forward on President Obama's 2012 budget proposal, and the motion to proceed on it failed by a unanimous 0-97 vote. - this may a first - back in Feb 2011, many Donks had praise for the budget - among them were Reid, Schumer, Coons, Carper, Cantwell, Shaheen, Nelson, Conrad, Cardin, Hagin, Kohl, Gillibrand, Blumenthal, Lautenberg, Baucus, Brown, Franken, Harkin and Udall |

| #5 Four budgets were voted on in the Senate: Ryan's, Toomey's, Rand Paul's, and O'bama's. Ryan's budget got 40 votes, Toomey's 42, Paul's budget got 7 votes, and O'bama's got 0 votes. Paul's budget conforms with a balanced budget amendment. It has now been 756 days since the Senate Democrats have passed a budget. Not a single Democrat voted for any of the four budgets brought up before the Senate. |

| #2 But why can't we have a budget that spends 100% of our GDP in one year? |
