For the 3rd year in a row ,the Senate has failed to approve a budget . 2 of those years they have voted down the President's budget proposal unanimously while simultaneously either rejecting Republican plans; or not considering budgets passed by the House of Representatives .
Senate rejects Obama budget in 99-0 vote - The Hill's Floor Action

When you hear the President bleating this year about a "do nothing Congress" know that it is the Harry Reid Senate that is doing nothing . When you read of grid lock ,know that it is the Democrat majority in the Senate that is responsible for any grid lock. When we have another downgrade in the country's credit rating ,it is Harry Reid you can blame.

Add our unserious president whose budgets have been voted down 610-0 since last May and you’d think the public might get the picture of how intractable these Democrats are. But then the media is in the tank for them so how would the public know?

We can add the President to the do nothing list. Oh he's good at making 'to do lists' for Congress ;but he has never done the work required to advance an agenda. Even when he had a super majority in both Houses ;and they were putting his signature legislations through the sausage grinder ; he deferred to Reid and Pelosi .
But now ;the President proposes unserious budgets ;the Dems in the Senate refuse to either propose one of their own ;or agree to the many House proposals that have passed. The Republicans needed a Parliamentary move to force a vote on 5 of their bills yesterday... all of them would've set us on a course closer to fiscal discipline . All were voted down.

Yesterday Speaker Bonehead went to the White House to see if they could come to an agreement on the budget . Instead of the give and take that everyone tells me happens during a compromise ;the President talk up his "to do list" which includes $30 billion worth of new stimulus plans that won't work .

Meanwhile that debt ceiling limit approaches again. I guess the President is counting on Speaker Bonehead caving again on a continuing resolution.

Hello tom:

Yeah, the Democrats weren't able to break through the 275 filibusters the Republican minority mounted... That is by far the highest number in Congressional history, and more than twice the amount in the previous two terms.

Makes it hard to do anything when right wingers do that.. Of course, YOU think it's the Democrats... Bwa, ha ha ha ha.

No budget in 3 1/2 years of Democrat control of the Senate and the White House . That has nothing to do with filibusters ;not when Reid won't let the House passed budget come to the floor ;and the only vote they take is to reject by unanimous consent the President's proposal.
