By law, the official budget for the next fiscal year is due on the first Monday in February. However, Obama will not release the budget for the FY2015 until March4, even if he releases it then.

Last year, Obama released his budget on April 8, more than two months late and after the House and Senate had passed their own blueprints.

Obama has only met the official budget deadline once in the entire time he has been president. This is yet another example of the many times he has shown blatant disregard for the law.

Wow! With all the issues facing our coutry, the things some people choose to focus on amazes me.

You are saying that the Budget is no big thing? Or is it that Obama breaking every law that doesn't suit him is OK?

All the numbers are manipulated now and the desperation coming out of Washington is beyond imagination. For example. They fight over a budget of a little bit more than a trillion and present it as a cataclysmic event but don't bother even considering 85 billion a month debt to the federal reserve as important enough to put on the books. No wonder Obama could claim cutting the deficit.
"The Federal Reserve is a money printer. It is all they know. They printed
money to finance the Vietnam war, they printed money during the Savings
and Loan crisis, they printed money in the run-up to Y2K, they
printed more when the Dot Com bubble bust, creating another (this
time real estate) bubble...and they are now engaged in an expansion of
monetary aggregates beyond anyone’s wildest imagination. Some claim
the deflationary experience of the Great Depression is what has led to
such a heavy hand on the printing press. It is not a convincing argument.
The use of constantly expanding monetary aggregates is both
irresponsible and politically motivated for short term expediency over
the long-term health of an economy. It favours a small interest group
over the general population."

This wont end well

P-agree that there are more serious matters to dwell on than Obama's budget. The fact that he submits one is merely symbolic because it is usually DOA so a few days either way will not matter much. As citizens what we really need to concentrate on is the laws that Obama chooses to change on his own or those which he chooses to ignore because they do not suit his agenda. That applies to any president, not only Obama. If Obama continues to ignore the legislative branch the SCOTUS should step in and put an end to the dictatorship. Good Luck America !!!!

I was totally amazed when I read your post. Of course, you may not know that your post points you out as one of the worst of the left leaners writing here. One post an we can all see you for what you are. How far left do you lean?

You are very sure that the deficit and the debt have nothing to do with the budget, huh?

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Finally someone else points at the Federal Reserve and says we are Borrowing from them. I thought I was the only one who understands what the Federal Reserve it really doing to the U.S. That bunch of bankers has no interest in the wellness of the Country, only in how much interest they can get from loaned money backed by nothing.
And Yes, this won't end well.

This is an exact picture of how this will end. Its a free download. It is not that long and the wording (early 1900's) can be a bit dry at times but when you start noticing the mirror that is a reflection of our economy it is quite amazing.

So you feel it is minor for your man to break the law, eh? Why does he make a point of doing this anyway? Is he trying to get people used to the idea that he breaks the law at random so he can break more than he has already broken? Let's face facts here, shall we? If any other president had intentionally broken as many laws as your Chicago crook has broken, they would have long ago been impeached. And he feels that he can continue to get by with it because he has people like you to poo-poo his breaking the law.

This is merely typical Chicago politics at work in the White House.

He is saying that as long as his man is doing the law breaking it is OK. But Heaven forbid if any prior Republican president had done the same. Maybe you remember when they tried to impeach President George W for lying about the WMD in Iraq, but could not do so because they were going by the same CIA report when they v**ed to go to war.

See how they ignore some things when a Democrat president is in control?

carolyn

There is supposed to be no allowance for any law breaking in the government, no matter how small or minor. And I guarantee that if it were the Republicans doing the law breaking in this instance, Democrats would be yelling "impeachment."

Ricko;
According to you it appears that this has been the practice of all presidents, so why does it become such an impeaching situation now?
The way I see it is that his so called offenses are to benefit the poor, and the middle class. And his modification, or even his refusal to continue, or support laws that have been implemented by past presidents that only support the wealthy.
Is his supposed offenses so atrocious to republicans because he is supporting the wrong people in their eyes?
As we all know by now, this man is very different from past presidents, and I thank God that he is.
You should remember one thing about him, he knows the importance of the need for insurance for the poor, he knows what not having enough to eat, and the feeling you get when you can't feed your family, and all the other situations that the poor and middle class citizens live with on an minute by minute basis.
The one thing that should be remembered he is president to all the people, he does not discriminate.
That has caused him problem even with his own race, because it may surprise you to know this, a lot of people felt that he would surely favor them, and be more giving to them because he is black.
Just like a lot of people thought he would be a scratch his head, and shuffle his feet kind of guy.
Well he did not fall for the B/S, and has proven himself to be what a real leader of this country should be, an equal opportunity leader.
If he is partial to any body it is the poor and the middle class.
This has caused him to be disrespected, called everything but a child of God, and even his family has been so disrespected, to the point that if he were a regular citizen, he would probably take a shotgun and just blow certain peoples brains out. These people have not a damned thing to deserve this treatment.
Even though his mother was a white lady, even they had to live on food stamps, and assistance.
Life is sometimes strange, but I believe life experienced is a true teacher.
And his personal life certainly reflects how the so called American dream is supposed to be attained.
Even if your life has been challenging through no fault of your own.
True life experienced on both sides of the track will make you a benefit to others that have had to live a similar life.
As opposed to the "Silver spoon in mouth" lives that the majority of other presidents have lived.
There is no way that they can honestly and truly know about the real life of the poor, and others with challenging lives. The only way they would have a clue is to be told by someone else that has lived that life, or use their own imagination as to what it might be like. We all know the problem with imagination, you can make it be wh**ever you want the situation to be.
Every person from now on, until all of this s**t goes up in smoke, should not even be considered for president, unless they have had true life first hand knowledge from both sides of the tracks.

The budget is no big thing. It's only a proposed map of how money is to be spent. There are no laws that mandate that submitted budgets be followed, and most budgets submitted by the president or by congress are never followed. Therefore budgets are nothing but dreams written on paper.

Carolyn;
There has been undeniable proof that bush did know, as did the majority of his cronies, except Powell , that is why he was able to use Powell to tell that lie.
I don't care what bush said, and will hold bush totally responsible for this travesty against the American people, and the people of Iraq.
And until someone actually shows proof of there having been WMD's in Iraq at that time, bush is the worst dictator, and war monger in the history of this country.
I still can't understand how people like yourself would even support what he did.
He caused the deaths of more people, on both sides than we will ever know, and don't forget our troops that were permanently maimed...Even the people in Iraq say that they were much better off before bush.
While we are on the subject of bush...Can you even imagine how expensive it is to pay for two wars; cut off the responsibility of paying taxes for your buddies, at our expense; and so many other money sucking situations, and then leaving only the poor, and middle class to clean up his mess.
The reason I asked you about the expense of two wars, and etc., I hope you keep those questions in your mind, because if you did, this next little tidbit should really rattle your cage...
I know you have heard how Obama's money spending is going to bankrupt America.
Well brace yourself because I am going to let you in on a little secret about why our debt is so high.
The reason it is so high, or was, is that ol' george did not pay for his wars, or buddies not paying their taxes.
He surely had been given enough by congress to do so, but he decided to just charge them to our debt.
And then he forgot to take the money that he had received from congress to clear up the debt.
When President Obama took office he was not aware of bush's little hat trick.
Is that why republican's pounced on him about the budget right out of their stalls?
Although it is up to congress to control the money that is spent, they still blame the president because they don't have a clue about budgeting money. Plus there are too many fingers in their business...Koch bros., tea baggers, and on and on.
That is why nothing gets done by them...
