Your idea is lame...Here's nothing better.

The original story.

Democrats took today to push a partisan budget through the Senate Budget Committee. The budget went through with a 13 to 10 vote directly along party lines. The Republicans continued to say that the budget increases spending and government too much but have thus far failed to offer an alternative. So, let's get this straight, "your ideas are poopy and I don't like them", "What would you propose?", "Not your poopy ideas". Thanks Republicans! We appreciate that you have really attempted to cross party lines and reach out by offering exactly ZERO FUCKING IDEAS. It's really easy to criticize something that's going to cost billions of dollar regardless (it's a national fucking budget), when you're only alternative is a zero dollar a year budget!

But wait, republicans promised to have an alternative by next week! Great, show up a fucking day late and dollar short and then wonder why you couldn't get a pony ride at the carnival. This isn't a surprise. You've been criticizing Obama's budget since before he took office. I'll even go so far to admit I'm not a huge fan of the original Obama budget. The reworked version has some pro's but it isn't perfect. Republicans should have come armed to the teeth with suggestions and oppositional proposals. Not because it would have changed the democrat led committee, but because that way when they talk to the press they can say, "This is what's wrong, here's what we'd do". As it is, your criticizing what may be a bad idea, with no idea. And coming in a week late just looks like you got called on your bullshit and had to take time to come up with an idea you should have had weeks ago. Remember that kid in class, who would never have an assignment done on time? When it came around to the term paper (which was assigned weeks ago) he would have some glorious excuse about why he didn't have it. That's the republicans right now and they deserve what that kid deserved, an "F" and a firm talking to about how that shit doesn't hack it in real life.
