I call it the ``budget-less'' resolution, because it contains no numbers, no specifics, and worst of all, no ideas for job creation or economic recovery, and it doesn't even include a serious plan to reduce the deficit. This is not the way to manage the budget. It's worse than arbitrary. It's like budgeting with blindfolds on. It gives no thought, no reasons, no real discussion on how the cuts would be made and what the ramifications would be. Worst of all, the Republican resolution continues to ignore job creation and economic recovery. It doesn't even contain a real plan to reduce the deficit. We gave you numbers with the health care reform that would actually reduce the deficit. This is a numberless budget, nothing at all.
