Republicans Budget - The "No" Party? Not true! (click for full budget)

House Republican leadership yesterday challenged President Obama’s assertion that Republicans have not offered solutions to the issues facing Americans today. At the unveiling of the new alternative budget blueprint yesterday, House Republican leader John Boehner held the document in the air exclaiming, “Here it is, Mr. President!”

“The Republican Road to Recovery” provides a detailed outline of the principles behind the upcoming GOP alternative budget that will be introduced in the House next week. As was the case when Obama released a blueprint days before the actual release of his $3.66 trillion budget, Republicans pronounced their budget process is well underway yesterday at this blueprint release event.

Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), chairman of the House Republican Conference, said at the blueprint unveiling yesterday, “After years of runaway spending at the federal level, the American people want this Congress to put our fiscal house in order. Instead, President Barack Obama has brought forward the most fiscally irresponsible budget in American history. It spends too much, borrows too much, and taxes too much, and the American people know it.”

The Republican blueprint describes a budget that will undo fraud and abuse by ending the Obama “stimulus bill” plans for the exorbitant Democrat spending binge on things such as the $900 million for the terrorist group Hamas or the programs making available $4.2 billion for “community stabilization” to groups such a ACORN.

Republicans would also finally tackle restoring financial stability by the incremental privatization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac while reforming laws like the “Community Investment Act” which bears the overwhelming responsibility for the financial meltdown by government intervention forcing banks to make home loans to people who could not afford them.

There is much more in the “Republican Road to Recovery” blueprint which is available online.

The most important part of the budget fight is likely to come in the House-Senate conference on the resolutions. Some Senate Democrats are rebelling against the White House’s enormous spending plan and may even help Republicans resist the energy tax and healthcare plans.
