There’s an easier one.
The number of budgets passed by the Democrat run US Senate. ZERO.
http://blog.heritage.org/2012/01/20/1000-days-without-a-budget-facts-on-the-senates-failure/
The last time the Senate passed a budget was on April 29, 2009.
Since that date, the federal government has spent $9.4 trillion, adding $4.1 trillion in debt.
As of January 20, the outstanding public debt stands at $15,240,174,635,409.
Interest payments on the debt are now more than $200 billion per year.
President Obama proposed a FY2012 budget last year, and the Senate voted it down 97–0. (And that budget was no prize—according to the Congressional Budget Office, that proposal never had an annual deficit of less than $748 billion, would double the national debt in 10 years and would see annual interest payments approach $1 trillion per year.)
The Senate rejected House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s (R–WI) budget by 57–40 in May 2011, with no Democrats voting for it.
In FY2011, Washington spent $3.6 trillion. Compare that to the last time the budget was balanced in 2001, when Washington spent $1.8 trillion ($2.1 trillion when you adjust for inflation).
Entitlement spending will more than double by 2050. That includes spending on Medicare, Medicaid and the Obamacare subsidy program, and Social Security. Total spending on federal health care programs will triple.
By 2050, the national debt is set to hit 344 percent of Gross Domestic Product.
Taxes paid per household have risen dramatically, hitting $18,400 in 2010 (compared with $11,295 in 1965). If the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts expire and more middle-class Americans are required to pay the alternative minimum tax (AMT), taxes will reach unprecedented levels.
Federal spending per household is skyrocketing. Since 1965, spending per household has grown by nearly 162 percent, from $11,431 in 1965 to $29,401 in 2010. From 2010 to 2021, it is projected to rise to $35,773, a 22 percent increase.

The House passed Republicans’ sweeping budget reform bill Friday, sending it to an uncertain future in the Senate.
The budget, which Republicans said would cut $4.4 trillion from the federal deficit over the next decade, was authored by Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (Wis.) and passed on a largely party-line vote, 235-193. No Democrats voted for the budget.
The Democrat-controlled Senate is not expected to take up the House budget, and in fact, it may end up not passing a budget this year at all.
Prior to the vote, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor praised the bill.
“The House Republican budget is an honest, fact-based proposal that details our vision for managing down our debt — and growing our way back to prosperity. With this budget, House Republicans are changing the culture in Washington from one of spending to one of savings,” the Virginia Republican said. ...
Obama 134 in 3 years and 9 months.
Well I guess Obama is about even with Bush. It's just that Bam uses EO's to bypass Congress.
Now THERE’S some info for a graphic!
Marxist usurper? Who would that be? 
I used that once during a robbery and scared the robber right out of the place. It was awesome but I still don’t know why I did it. It was reflexive yet I don’t know where it came from. Later, riding around in the cruiser to see if we could find the men is when I got the shakes.
Later is a good time to shake!
LOL!!! I LIKE IT!

That’s a very evil expression. Powerful post.
It struck me as evil too. Sometimes the mask slips........
