Republicans alternative plans submitted to counter President Obama’s budget is like an April Fool’s Day joke, House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said last night.
Appearing on Keith Olbermann’s MSNBC show, Clyburn said the GOP’s budget proposal cannot be taken seriously at all.
“I hate to say this, but you know, if I`m right, looking at my calendar, tomorrow is April 1st. It`s April Fool`s Day. And I think that that`s pretty much what you got,” Clyburn said. “This budget is a joke.”
“People saw what they did last week — and they`ve thrown together some numbers,” the third-ranking House Democrat continued. “So I don`t believe that you can take this budget seriously at all.”
