But not a word from this rag when the President declared himself as having total control (but no responsibility). The President tells you he believes himself to be the head of a Totalitarian state and they forget to publish an opinion that day.
10th Amendment is pretty clear. As clear as the 2nd Amendment which was supposed to be for when the Federal Government ignore the 2nd. Not for hunting or protecting your home- to literally pick up arms when your government becomes, well, like it is.

Trump declares himself a dictator, no armed protest. Democratic Governor extends the stay at home order, as Trump supports, and the storm the gates. Without facemasks.

And you're still deflecting. You keep trying to point to FY2012. I was clearly talking about FY2011. Obozo and the Democrat Party still had a trifecta in 2010.....which is when the FY2011 budget actually begins. I was assuming you knew the difference between fiscal and calendar years....Sorry, I should not have done that. My assumption may have made an ass out of you and Mac.

In the CDC FY2011 congressional budget justification, they specifically mention distribution of "....75 percent of the remaining N95 respirators contained in the stockpile."

In the very same document, after saying they had raided 75% of our N95 respirator supply.... with the Democrat Party having a trifecta in DC, Obozo's budget request was:

Still waiting for your answer....should the ? be a + or a - ?????

FY2010 Actual SNS funding = $595,749,000
FY2011 SNS funding requested by Obozo = $523,533,000
The difference between those is $72,216,000

So given this equation: $595M ? $72M = $523M

You know, I've stop with the tRump because it takes away from the reply. Try 'Obama', you may have a point one day. Not today.
You keep posting the CONGRESSIONAL JUSTIFICATION budget. You should try to understand the different budget, what they represent, who compiles them and what represents what passes. Then study up on sequestration and how it forces the president to take the numbers given- because Congress has the purse strings.

Your concession that Obama tried to increase it in 2012, is a step in the right direction but you have to come all the way and recognize, Democrats pour money into government, Republicans take out of government and give back to people as political favor.

Even in the aftermath of the swine flu pandemic, the stockpile wasn’t a priority for Republicans. Denny Rehberg (R-Montana) the chairman of the appropriations subcommittee responsible for overseeing the stockpile in 2011, introduced a bill that provided $522.5 million to the stockpile, about 12% less than the previous year and $132 million less than the Obama administration wanted. “Nobody got everything they wanted,” Rehberg said.

Trump Is Running This Country Into the Ground | The Nation
https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-corruption-fake-news
Mar 04, 2020 · And I’m not even talking about Donald Trump’s nonstop coverage on his own news service, also known as Fox News. No, what I had in mind was the Fake News …

But no matter how much damage the president causes, he'll make it out unscathed, money in hand.

In this Trumpian prison of ours, you really have little choice. Whether you like it or not, whether you want to or not, you’re a witness to the vagaries of one Donald J. Trump, morning, noon, and night, day in, day out. I mean, you know what film the president thinks should have won the Best Picture Oscar this year, right? Gone With the Wind, which, after he brought it up, promptly shot to number one on topics trending on Twitter. You have a sense of how many years he expects to remain in the White House (up to 26, as he told one of his rally crowds recently, or assumedly until Barron is ready to take over); you know that he’s a “germophobe” (small tip: Don’t cough or sneeze in his presence and the next time you meet him, don’t try to shake his hand); you’re probably aware that his properties in India (as well as his pronunciation of Indian names) leave something to be desired, but that the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas is buzzing along (especially when he visits while on the campaign trail).

And here are some other things you might have caught as well: that you and I have spent quite a little fortune (up to $650 a night per agent) putting up the Secret Service people protecting him at Trump properties; that, thanks to a tweeted photo of him on a windy day, he has quite a tan line (or that, as he tweeted back, “More Fake News. This was photoshopped, obviously, but the wind was strong and the hair looks good?

Anything to demean!”); or that he hates being told, especially by American intelligence officials, no less “Shifty Schiff,” that Vladimir Putin would like to lend his reelection a hand, but loves it that the Russian prexy may have a yen to promote Bernie Sanders in this election season; that his greatest skill (à la The Apprentice and The Celebrity Apprentice) may be firing people he considers personally disloyal to him (even if it’s called purging when you’re the president and they’re government officials or bureaucrats), hence his three years in office represent the greatest turnover in Washington officialdom in presidential memory; or perhaps the way he tweets charges and claims of every sort (that, for instance, Mitt Romney is a “Democratic spy”); or all the people he actually knows but claims he doesn’t; or his urge to slam every imaginable, or even unimaginable, figure ranging from the forewoman of the Roger Stone jury (“She somehow weaseled her way onto the jury and if that’s not a tainted jury then there is no such thing as a tainted jury”) to the 598 “people, places, and things”

The New York Times counted him insulting by May 2019, including John McCain (23 times, “last in his class”) and his ******* Meghan (four times, “obnoxious”); oh, and let’s not forget his threats to unleash nuclear weapons on North Korea (“They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.”) and Afghanistan (“And if we wanted to do a certain method of war, we would win that very quickly. But many, many—really, tens of millions of people would be killed…”). And that, of course, is barely a hint of the world we now inhabit, thanks not just to Donald J. Trump, but to the very Fake News Media that he denounces so incessantly.

We’re here in Trump’s version of a prison in part because he and the Fake News Media he hates so much are in eternal collusion as well as eternal collision! Much as they theoretically dislike each other, both the non-Fox mainstream media and the president seem to desperately need each other. After all, in a social media-dominated world, the traditional media has had its troubles. Papers have been losing revenue, folding, drying up, dying. Staffs have been plunging and local news suffering. (In my own hometown rag, The New York Times, undoubtedly because many copyeditors were dumped, small errors now abound in the paper, which I still read, in a way that once would have been unimaginable.) On TV, of course, you have cable news networks that need to talk about something quite literally 24/7.

So what a godsend it must be to be able to assign reporter after reporter and commentator after commentator to the doings of a single man, his words, acts, impulses, tweets, concerns, bizarre comments, strange thoughts, odd acts. Who could doubt that he has, in these years, become the definition of “the news” in a way that once would have been inconceivable but couldn’t be more convenient for a pressed and harried media?

And however much he may endlessly denounce them, he desperately needs them, too. Otherwise, what would he do for attention? They’re, in effect, his servants and he, in some strange way, theirs. No matter what they officially think of each other, this is the definition of collusion—one that has, in the last three years, also helped redefine the nature of our American world. No matter what they say about each other, in his own fashion, he’s always ready to pardon them and they, in their own fashion, him.

www.cbpp.org www.cbpp.org

House Judiciary Committee Chair Bob Goodlatte’s proposed constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget, which the House will vote on tomorrow, has many serious drawbacks:
  • It would hurt the economy. By requiring a balanced budget every year, no matter the state of the economy, the balanced budget amendment (BBA) proposal would risk tipping a weak economy into recession and making recessions more frequent, longer, and deeper, causing very large job losses and hurting long-term growth. That’s because it would ******* policymakers to cut spending or raise taxes just when the economy is weak or already in recession — the opposite of good economic policy.

    Before 1929, the budget was balanced or close to it in most years (except during major wars), while from 1933 on, the federal government fought recessions by allowing deficits to grow when the economy was weak and then shrink as it recovered. The latter approach worked better, with fewer recessions, longer expansions, and better growth, as the table shows:
    “Balanced budget” period (1854-1929)“Fight recessions” period (1929-2017)
    Average number of recessions per decade2.81.6
    Average length of economic expansions25 months63 months
    Average annual real economic growth per person1.4%2.0%
    Policymakers don’t need to balance the budget every year to put the budget on a sustainable path. Even with modest-sized deficits, it’s possible to stabilize or reduce the debt as a share of gross domestic product, which is the best measure of sustainability over the long run.
  • It would undercut Social Security, Medicare, and other programs that have built up reserves. The BBA prohibits Social Security, Medicare Part A, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the military and civil service retirement funds, and other funds from using their accumulated reserves. That’s because the BBA prohibits spending from exceeding the revenues collected in that year. For example, Social Security couldn’t use the $2.9 trillion in Treasury securities it holds to help pay benefits to retired baby boomers since almost all of it was collected in prior years.
  • It’s much stricter than state balanced-budget requirements. While states must balance their operating budgets, states can and do borrow to finance capital projects such as roads, schools, or water treatment plants. The BBA, in contrast, prohibits all federal borrowing. States also can build “rainy day” reserves during good times and draw on them in bad times without counting the drawdown as new spending that unbalances a budget. The BBA would prohibit the federal government from doing so because it prohibits spending from exceeding revenues collected in that year, as noted above.
  • It’s also much stricter than constraints on families. Prudent families balance their checkbooks but not their budgets, because that would mean no borrowing: no mortgages, no student loans, no dealer-financed cars. And even a family with enough wealth that it never had to borrow might use its savings or inheritance to buy a house or pay for college.
  • It’s silent on the critical question of who would enforce it. If Congress couldn’t balance the budget, could the President cut programs or raise taxes unilaterally? Could the courts? No one knows.

EPA guts rule credited with cleaning up coal-plant toxic air

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration on Thursday gutted an Obama-era rule that compelled the country's coal plants to cut back emissions of mercury and other human health hazards, a move designed to limit future regulation of air pollutants from coal- and oil-fired power plants.

I'm fully aware of the budgets. It is you who has either doesn't understand, is intentionally deflecting, can't keep your budget years straight....or some combination thereof. Unfortunately for you, the evidence is clear. In the FY 2011 CDC budget request, after raiding 75% of our stockpile of N95 respirators, Obozo's budget which he sent to a Democrat Party controlled House and Senate requested a CUT to the stockpile funding.

Didn't think I'd have to explain this to you, but here it goes Skippy.....it takes more than a simple majority/control of congress for a constitutional amendment. The constitution requires a 2/3 majority vote in both the House and Senate to pass a constitutional amendment.

Balance Budget Amendment is a bad idea. Sounds good, but it does not address the issue the issue and would put the country in a downward spiral economically. Why would you want to fuck with the dollar at a time when the world depends on a strong American dollar? How fast do you want to hand things over to China?
