(Washington Examiner) – Zero Senate Democrats voted to move forward on
President Obama’s 2012 budget proposal, and the motion to proceed on it
failed by a unanimous 0-97 vote.
What this means is that thus far, no Senate Democrat has voted in favor
of any budget plan.
As Guy Benson notes, this was the same Obama budget that Democrats
effusively praised when it was released in February:
SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV): “President Obama’s budget is a serious
attempt…” (Sen. Reid, Press Release, 2/14/11)
