DailyKosTV has great video from the big announcement of the GOP budget today. The big news is that there really is no GOP budget. No numbers, no ideas, no details, no plan. They are the party of "NO" -- No future: At Huffington Post, Ryan Grim detailed the exchange between reporters and GOP House Leader John Boehner: Reporters -- mainstream, liberal and conservative -- greeted the Republican document with a collective scoff. "Are you going to have any further details on this today?" the first asked. "On what?" asked Boehner. "There's no detail in here," noted the reporter.
