Reality check: support Union conservative budget?

In an interview with Peter Mansbridge last week, Conservative leader Stephen Harper said is broad support for the budget of his party filed before the election, pointing to an approval by the Congress of the work of the Canada.

"No there was no mystery, there was a lot in this budget, you know, was clearly, were things that the other parties spoke about things that they could have supported," said Harper.

"Canadian Labour Congress said the NDP that they should have supported measures in the budget." I mean, how much more obvious can get you than that? ?

The Tories made the same request after the budget on 22 March, which prompted the CLC to publish an open letter to the Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty.

The letter approximately speaks for itself.

"Minister, one can support some parts of your budget without giving full endorsement," wrote CLC President Ken Georgetti.

"While we have supported certain measures in the budget, we in no way gave unqualified support for the budget as a whole." We are looking for a real timetable for improving the Canada (CPP) pension plan benefits, not vague promises to extend the CPP at a later date. We are certainly opposed to planned tax cuts your Government and expresses our concern from which will come from $ 4 billion per year of planned spending cuts.

"Thinking, as you have been stating in the media, the CLC fully subscribed your budget is misleading and we respectfully request you cease these statements."

Taken Georgetti support to increase the guaranteed income supplement for the elderly, and the extension of one year hosting the renovation plan.

"birthers" found support in Arizona

The Arizona legislature gave final approval to a proposal that President Barack Obama and the other candidates to the Presidency to prove that they are citizens before Americans their name may appear on the ballot of the State.

Arizona would become the first State to require evidence if Governor Jan Brewer signs the measure approved Thursday in the Act.

Thirteen other States have considered similar proposals this year.

The so-called "birthers" have argued since the last presidential election that Obama is not eligible for the highest nation elected because he was in fact born in the Kenya, homeland of his father.

Hawaii officials have repeatedly confirmed the citizenship of the Obama, and his Hawaii birth certificate has been made public.

The Bill received final approval from the House of the State in a 40-16.

Such as budget, get talks hardliners support of tea party

To keep that they would need, in the coming weeks urged additional opportunities as spokesman John A. Boehner Republican in the eye on long-term expenditure to cut, said some members of his caucus, they are willing to accept shutdown if necessary to back up their demand for $61 billion in cuts for the current financial year would be a Government.

"This is quite small," said representative Jeff Flake, Republican of Arizona, expenditure reduction refers to 33 billion dollars, the Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. said Wednesday evening the goal was generally agreed by both parties. "This is visible." People see this. "You have have some significant cuts."

In a two-hour-plus tea party rally outside the Capitol hit some members, raising their fists, the songs "cut it or closed," that she would hold.

"It is time to a fight," said one of his party representative Mike Pence, Republican of Indiana, more militant supporters of the smaller government. He added: ' If would play more political Liberals in the Senate and the Government instead of make a small deposit to financial discipline and reform shut down, I say "shut it down.'"?“

Mr. Boehner remained dancing between the Senate Democrats, who have already proven, that the $61 billion passed expenditure cut of Senate and freshmen and other conservative in the House can pressure anyone on him not to give ground. During an eight-minute press conference on Thursday, he said: "There is no agreement." "Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed."

Publicly, press conferences, angry words to the ground and the threat of a shutdown plays off the showdown shown by a hearty mix of political, now.

But behind the scenes, employees and senior law makers in the committees are House of representatives and Senate resources in the preparatory stages to find out exactly how distributed a reduction of $33 billion of federal agencies about the balance of the current financial year would be, ends Sept. 30. Their work will continue, as a provision expect if both voices can conclude a contract and implement a shutdown to avoid government weekly from Friday, when current funding authority.

Even if an agreement is reached and a shutdown averted, that both parties are then moved to the potentially greater fighting to increase the national debt ceiling, cutting spending for the next year and addressing the long-term growth entitlement programs - a theme of the House Budget Committee plans, to put on the front burner in coming weeks.

The immediate question remained however, on whether Mr of Boehner House could bring Republicans together a deal for a reduction of $33 billion. "If this is the number, it isn't good enough," said Jason Chaffetz, Republican of Utah representative.

Outside the Capitol on an afternoon cold, damp tea party activists from across the country warned that they will not accept would cut less than a 100 billion dollars from this year's budget and there could be consequences for those who ignored their demand choice.

Edge of Kentucky said several legislators at the rally, including representative Michele Bachmann, Republican of Minnesota with raucous cheers after her every word and the Republican senators Jim DeMint of South Carolina and Paul.

A reporter from national public radio, that money under a bill passed his Government by the House would lose, trying a protestor interview as a man in blue earmuffs repeatedly shouted behind her: "Cut NPR!" "Cut NPR!" Among the approximately 300 participants and their American flags and homemade poster, demonization of Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, demonstrators were some code pink protest military intervention in Libya, and a young man handing out fliers for tea party activist boot camp sprinkled.

The morning began with the Democratic majority leader Harry Reid of Nevada and Republican minority leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, on the Hill and on the ground, to make their case on the budget battle.

"Not a single child, not a single student, individual teachers, no individual nurse, no single police officers, no single senior led us into this recession," said Mr. Reid, the majority of the cuts the federal spending by the House is offered. "Not a, and innocent bystanders to punish will lead us to a recovery." "We speak on and continue to work to find a middle way."

Mr. McConnell said that the tea party activists at the Capitol collect sent a powerful message to Washington. "These people are not radical," he said, adding, "these are the everyday men and women who love their country and want to reduce it you will find under."

Senate Republicans amendment roles that would require including a two-thirds majority of both houses for any bill that raises to increase taxes and three-fifths vote by both houses, the debt limit also began of a balanced budget.

While the focus is now on the spending plan, to get through the rest of the year, it will have been working next week the Republican plan for the year 2012, which members say to him large cuts of federal spending and entitlement programs offer pivot particularly Medicaid.
