Senate Democrats on Saturday narrowly passed their first budget in four years.

Appearing on PBS's Inside Washington Friday before the vote, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer called it "the most appalling document you have ever seen" claiming, "It marches us off a cliff into Greece and perhaps into Cyprus" (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary):

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: The real news is that the Senate offered a budget for the first time since 2009. The iPad didn’t even exist the last time the Senate had a budget. And that is completely dead on arrival. It is the most appalling document you have ever seen. It doesn’t look at any entitlements. It doesn’t have any cuts. It marches us off a cliff into Greece and perhaps into Cyprus.
