The House and Senate passed the Obama $3.5 trillion budget blueprint along party lines. Not a single Republican voted for the blueprint!
According to the New York Daily News:
The budget draft is somewhat smaller than the $3.6 trillion budget Obama originally proposed and passed the House on party lines, 233 to 196. The Senate then approved the plan, 55-43.
Kudos to the GOP in both houses and to the 20 Democrats who also voted against this monstrosity.

Of course they voted against it. They didn't supply an alternative to it. Their budget plan was 19 pages and offered the same failed right wing ideas that ruined the country for the last 8 years including a drop in corporate taxes to 25% that would do NOTHING but drop us into a depression.
Even Reagan relized his mistake in the 1981 tax cut to 50%. It created the greatest deficit to that point. So much so that he raised taxes every year subsequently (except 1988). Face it. The current GOP has nothing to offer. Instead of cheering them on maybe you should contact them and give them some concrete ideas of your own. Be part of the solution rather than a roadblock to recovery.
No, the country wasn't ruined by anything the Bush administration did in 8 years.
How does lowering corporate tax rates drop us into depression? That only allows businesses more capital to expand and hire. Raising tax rates on corporations stifle expansion. That has proven time and time again.
Actually, Reagan's tax cuts caused the longest peacetime expansion in history. It also increased revenues for the government. Tip O'Neill broke his word about holding down spending, thus the fabled deficits of the 1980s. A president can't spend a dime, Congress is in control of the purse strings. Is spending us into even deeper debt going to solve problems? Your arguments are the usual strawman arguements. The debt Obama and the Democrats are putting on us is adding an average of $64,000 per household.
