House Democrats ‘Deem’ Faux $1.1 Trillion Budget ‘as Passed’

Last night, as part of a procedural vote on the emergency war supplemental bill, House Democrats attached a document that "deemed as passed" a
non-existent $1.12 trillion budget. The execution of the "deeming"
document allows Democrats to start spending money for Fiscal Year 2011
without the pesky constraints of a budget.

The procedural vote passed 215-210 with no Republicans voting in favor and 38 Democrats crossing the aisle
to vote against deeming the faux budget resolution passed.

Never before -- since the creation of the Congressional budget process -- has
the House failed to pass a budget, failed to propose a budget then
deemed the non-existent budget as passed as a means to avoid a direct,
recorded vote on a budget, but still allow Congress to spend taxpayer
money.

House Budget Committee Ranking Member Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) warned this was the green light for Democrats to continue their out-of-control
spending virtually unchecked.

"Facing a record deficit and a tidal wave of debt, House Democrats decided it was politically
inconvenient to put forward a budget and account for their fiscal
recklessness. With no priorities and no restraints, the spending,
taxing, and borrowing will continue unchecked for the coming fiscal
year," Ryan said. "The so-called ‘budget enforcement resolution’
enforces no budget, but instead provides a green light for the
Appropriators to continue spending, exacerbating our looming fiscal
crisis."

As we reported on HUMAN EVENTS, CBO issued a dire warning about the long term outlook for the budget.

"Yesterday, the Congressional Budget Office rang the latest fiscal alarm with the
release of The Long-Term Budget Outlook," Ryan said. "Today, Congress
again hit snooze. To avert a fiscal and economic calamity, Washington
needs to wake up."

Key points from the House Republican Budget staff on the House Democrats’ deeming resolution:

This is not a budget. The measure fails to meet the most basic, commonly understood objectives of any budget. It does not set
congressional priorities; it does not align overall spending, tax,
deficit, and debt levels; and it does nothing to address the runaway
spending of Federal entitlement programs.
- It is not a ‘congressional budget resolution.’ The measure does not satisfy even
the most basic criteria of a budget resolution as set forth in the
Congressional Budget Act.
- It creates a deception of spending ‘restraint.’ While claiming restraint in discretionary spending, the
resolution increases non-emergency spending by $30 billion over 2010,
and includes a number of gimmicks that give a green light to higher
spending.
- It continues relying on the flawed and over-sold pay-as-you-go [pay-go] procedure. Pay-go – which Democrats have used
mainly to raise taxes, and have ignored when it was inconvenient – does
nothing to reduce deficits or restrain spending growth in existing law.
- Outsourcing fiscal responsibilities. The measure is another hand-off by
the Democratic Majority of Congress’s power of the purse – this time
relying on the Fiscal Commission created by the President to do
Congress’s job.

Anytime the democrats are given the voting numbers in congress, our nation will suffer. The electorate is responsible for this outrage, we voted them in!
