Letter to the Editor
Who are The Obstructionists?
Who are the obstructionists? The Republican House of Representatives developed and passed the 'Cut, Cap and Balance', budget and sent it to the Senate.
Republican Senator Mitch McConnell developed a budget compromise giving the President the authority to raise the debt ceiling. Three Republican senators participated in the "Gang of Six" proposal.
All three plans were rejected by the Democrats. The Democrats have not even attempted a budget in over two years. How then are the Republicans the obstructionists? Am I the only one who doesn't see this? Why aren't the media people asking about the Democrat plan? Does the President have a plan, if so what is it?
