Obama to blame for budget troubles

We are starting to find out that Obamacare is an administrative nightmare.
If implementing it is this difficult, imagine how difficult it will be to get your health care from this mess. Keep voting for the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Bruce Braley and you will keep getting such stupid laws. How many thousands of paper pushers will be needed to maintain this joke?
Obama can no longer blame George W. Bush for his many failures. In fact, look back when the country started to go south. Liberals took over both Houses of Congress in 2006 and the entire government in 2008.
Since 2006, the federal government has not operated under a budget, only “continuing resolutions” and the only budget Obama asked the Senate to approve was such a joke his Democrat-controlled Senate rejected it 99 to 0.
We had better start looking at our spending habits before we are so far in debt that we will never pay it off. Remember all this during the 2014 elections.
