Reaction To Obama's Budget...

Okay, this will be brief...
Why are people still going crazy about the proposed budget? If the government would have been taking action on energy, education, health care, etc. we wouldn't need this much money to fix the problems. I get sooo tired of people who remained passive in the past all of a sudden deciding to get pissed off and block someone's attempt to actually try do something (& that's to Democrats & Republicans alike). The only reason the price tag is so high is because our elected officials were so lax in doing the right things for America and too busy lining their pockets.

When will we reach a point where we take time to THINK about problems, and work together to bring about solutions. Regardless of political ideology, I feel that on most issues (non-moral issues) there is common ground that solutions could be generated and implemented.
