Senate rejects Obama budget 99-0 in 2012, 97-0 in 2011

5/16/12, "Senate rejects Obama budget in 99-0 vote," The Hill, by Erik Wasson and Daniel Strauss

"
A budget resolution based on President Obama’s 2013 budget failed to get any votes in the Senate on Wednesday.

In a 99-0 vote, all of the senators present rejected the president’s blueprint.

It’s the second year in a row the [Democrat controlled] Senate has voted down Obama’s budget.

Obama's 2012 budget failed 97 to 0 last May after Obama himself last April said he wanted deeper deficit cuts.

The House earlier this year unanimously rejected Obama's budget."...
