How come there are no Democrats on Mt. Rushmore?

As has been repeatedly explained to you, the president doesn't control the budget. He developed policies by sticking his finger in the air and figuring out which way the political winds were blowing. The man had no principles, no values, and no class.

Clinton Derangement Syndrome in full bloom.

ciggy...how would these guys have reacted to a real Democrat...like LBJ? Jeeeebus Keeeerist...I look at Clinton and see an effective leader and a Eisenhower Republican...he was less liberal than JFK for sure...and LBJ was way left of him! These guys must be pups with little, if any historical perspective. They really frustrate me at times...all in good fun of course.

Not to mention FDR.

FDR couldn't in todays world since he was very racist.

 

[The Tradition]

The POTUS presents Congress with a budget. Congress works with his budget in mind. Your right, budgets are passed by the :Legislature. Also true is that the executive can veto this work if he finds it against his (the nation's ) best interests. Bill and Newt understood they needed to work together. Each got a lot of what they wanted as POTUS and Speaker. However, it is the POTUS that stirs the drink in Washington...it always has been and always will be that way.

The Wish List the President puts out as a so-called "budget proposal" bears little resemblance to what comes back for his signature.

and sometimes it comes back almost unchanged.

but he wasn't POTUS "in today's world"...His "today's world" was much different...in his "today's world" Ronald Reagan was a Roosevelt Democrat.

In modern times, it doesn't come back at all and they just keep extending budgets set in a prior year, a long time ago.
