    There is nothing 1800's about it. The President's budget requests have no formal weight. The House is free to ignore it when they create their appropriations bills.

    Likewise, the Prez can ignore the House version.
    In reality, he likely never sees the house version. But the version the House and Senate agreed upon.

    Let’s see that in writing somewhere. The process I gave you shows the president’s proposed budget is negotiated between the house and senate. It’s up to the president to sign it. That means the budget is determined by 1/3 house input and 2/3 senate and president. You’re wrong. If the house controlled the budget, we’d repeal the stupid tax cut for the rich ....dah.

    There seems to be a good example of how this works playing out with the stimulus bill right now.

    This is from the US gov. Itself. The Senate and the house work together to resolve the presidents proposal.. there is nothing about the house being in charge. You have NOTHING.

    So you admit Pelosi has little to say. Guess what ? This is why the country is in a financial mess.

    The reason that we are even having this discussion is because of your claim that the President controls the budget.

    So it seems that you've moved your position to admit that Congress plays some role. Heh, that's progress I guess.

    Huh? She's helping holding up the bill. If the President had his way, he would have signed it by now.

    That’s wrong. . You can’t even post it can you ? I gave you illustrations of the process. He starts the process through government department requests. Only he has complete access to these requests. Everyone else is flying blind.
    Now you’re trying to cover your a$$ by making up s.h.it. You have three references of my claims.

    The president has had his way. Because if it, we’re three months behind the virus contamination and deep in deficit spending. Pelosi had nothing to do with the last three years of administrative fkups and lies. We are Headed towards another recession.....number 10 of 11

    If Pelosi had her way, he’d be impeached.

    It went down 47-47. The flaming Liberal Joe Manchin had a meltdown over the 500 billion no strings attached Corporate slush fund that Mnuchin would have total control over.

    Yeah. Same old same old.

    I won’t c
    I won’t cash it if it ever happens. It’s a pointless and temporary “fix” that won’t fix anything. People with enough savings obviously won’t be impacted by this relative pittance and those with nothing will still have nothing after they blow through it. If it’s a loan of sorts that’s an entirely different matter. Definitely won’t be cashing it then. I don’t need the charity. If it gets to the point where I have no money, the the world is over and we’re in Mad Max territory and only those with guns will be surviving for at least a little while. Wouldn’t want to live in that hell.

    By doing what ? Being honest. In the world of crooks, Trumpets set a low bar.

    dems want more for the American people, republicans need to agree and pass the dang bill

    any republican that doesn't agree with dems can not cash their checks, no one is forcing them to cash them

    Not liberal. But no. I won’t give my money to those that will just waste it. The liberals will be the first ones spending it because they want the “free stuff”.

    This was the Republican Party attempting to loot the government for their corporate paymasters, again.

    There will be a lot of incentive for the D plan(response) to be leaked tomorrow.
