This is a daily scenario of the U.S. Congress’ and President Obama’s mad dash to pass a 2012 Budget with an inevitable Debt Ceiling increase…

The following information is from thehill.com and foxnews.com, July 28, 2011…
The U.S. House of Representatives is looking to pass a 2012 Budget being crafted by Speaker Boehner. However, there are several “Tea Party” Republicans who are currently opposed to his Budget, saying there needs to be more spending cuts. So, today is all about the ability of the Speaker to convince the Republican decenters to keep the Republican majority together as a voting block and pass his Bill. It’s important to the 2012 elections to show the country the Republicans are united in truly reducing the Deficit, and sending a solid message to the Democratic Senate – the body who hasn’t passed a Budget in over 2 years, even with a “Super Majority” – as well as President Obama, a message THEY NEED TO COMPROMISE or THEY’LL BE TO BLAME FOR ANY DEFAULTING!!! This would have Senator Reid and every Senate Democrat stare at being the first Senate to EVER DEFAULT OUR NATION!!! And
it’ll have President Obama look at his legacy becoming THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO HAVE OUR NATION DEFAULT ON HIS WATCH!!!

So, the House passed the Speaker’s Budget, the Senate “tabled it” to non-voting status – effectively “killing” the Bill – and now Senator Reid is giving his own Budget allowing the President to raise the Debt Ceiling at his own descretion… This isn’t giving President Obama a “blank check,” because even a “blank check” is limited to how much money is in that checking account… This is giving the President an American Express Card “with no spending limit!!!!” It seems the Democratic Libs are doing their best to Bankrupt U.S.!!!

So, it seems Speaker Boehner has decided to endorse the Senate’s Budget for FY 2012 which will cut a whopping $2.1 trillion-$2.6 trillion off Federal spending over the next 10 years! This means our deficit for 2012 will be in the $1.6 trillion ballpark!! With figures like this, it’s going to be interesting to see if Speaker Boehner can get the votes needed, even with House Democrat support!!!
