We did the budget committee precisely so that we could find out what the situation was, before acting on it uninformed.
"You will look carefully at the budget" a budget you will only have to look at in the first place, because I ignored the critics and pushed ahead with the budget committee and the painstaking work that came afterwards to collect all those expenses.
I will point out that the BPC is not done. On the contrary, we have to reconcile Truman's numbers and find out the basis for them so that we can then input that data into the approved template and then move forward by having the committee vote on it and then having both chambers vote on it as well.
Only then will the budget restoration be complete and we will have a definitive number on anything, for any proposals to be based on.
That sounds boring. Let's just tax The Rich
TM and be progressive progressives.
