Isn't the legislative branch susposed to lead on budget issues?

My understanding of history notes that we elect legislators to make laws and appropriate the funds while the president is elected to EXECUTE them, but it seems like these days the lawmakers want the president to LEGISLATE and EXECUTE the budgetary issues. That's not how government was first formed, and it shouldn't be like that now. Stop using the president as a scapegoat and get something done.
@Bill G: What does have to do with the budget problems now?
 
Absolutely! That is why The Republican Congress deserves the credit for the great economy in the 90's and mid '00's and the Democrat Congress, including Senator obama, deserves the blame for the horrible economy after 2007
 
All appropriation bills are supposed to be introduced in the House of Representatives.

Congress is supposed to coin money set interest rates (which they seem to have delegated to a private banking interest known as the Federal Reserve)

Congress is the one that is supposed to declare war (yet they seem to have delegated that to the President).

I think you have a good argument for firing congress for not doing their job...
