Video: Budget Committee Democrats Vote To Fund Food Stamp Promotions In Foreign Embassies
WASHINGTON, March 15, 2013--At yesterday's Budget Committee mark-up, Sen. Sessions offered an amendment to prohibit any further funds from being expended on the controversial U.S.-Mexico food stamp partnership, which allows USDA to advertise food stamp benefits in foreign consulates. This commonsense amendment was voted down unanimously by the panel's Democrats.

WASHINGTON, March 18--Appearing on FOX News' "America's News HQ" today, Sen. Sessions discussed the nearing legal deadline for Senate Democrats to produce a budget (the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 requires the Senate Budget Committee to complete action on a resolution by April 1, and requires passage by the full Senate by April 15). Despite this unambiguous statutory requirement, the Budget Committee has taken no action to even begin work on a budget. In fact, it has now been 1,054 days--nearly three years--since Senate Democrats have produced a budget at all.
This stands in sharp contrast to the record of House Republicans, which passed a budget last year and which is set to introduce this year's budget next week.
Rather than confront the nation's debt threat, Senate Democrats have resorted to political tactics on unrelated matters, as well as attacks on the House Republican budget even in the absence of a plan of their own.
Sessions also addressed new cost projections for the president's health law, which the Congressional Budget Office last week found will cost nearly twice what the president originally promised, or nearly three times the promised amount once the law is fully implemented.

JULY 26, WASHINGTON–After the Budget Committee’s Republican analysts conducted a careful review of Majority Leader Reid’s debt limit proposal, Sen. Sessions shared his findings on the Senate floor.
The truth: Reid’s proposal cuts only $1 trillion in spending for a nearly $3 trillion increase in the debt limit, and is based on an outdated spending baseline. This faulty baseline permitted Reid to temporarily disguise his irresponsible spending increases.

Review: The Debt Ceiling and Economic Crisis Debate Rages On… Since this was written the CBO has scored Boehner’s plan and found that it was a bit short of the goal of $1.2T in cuts for approx. $1T in debt increase and the guarantee of a vote in the Senate on a Balanced Budget Amendment. In the end the Republican plan of Cut Cap and Balance is the answer and the path we must take to survive.
A great ticket would be Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin and then Sarah run in the number one spot after that!!
