Goofball: "....since when does a Republican submit a rider to a Democrat budget proposal?"

They do it all the time, ignoramus! And Democratic senators and congressmen try to add riders to Republican proposals as well.

BOTH PARTIES do it all the time, in an effort to try to get things passed that, if it stood by itself, would be summarily squashed. The trick is to attach the rider to a bill that the President pretty much HAS to pass, or at least wants very much to pass, then unless he vetoes the whole bill, it goes into law.

That's why the President would like to have the Line Item Veto and the Congress doesn't want to let him have it! Even your simple mind should be able to grasp that!

Another graphic example of your ignorance.

Slept through high school civics classes, eh? Or did you cut school entirely?
