[quote=AN]So, what you’re saying again, which is what I’m also saying, the house gave a budget that the democrat senate doesn’t like while the president gave a budget that the republican senate doesn’t like. But the Democrat controlled Senate doesn’t produce a budget of their own. So, like I said, it’s stuck in the Democrat controlled Senate.[/quote]
No. It is a fallacy to call the Senate “Democrat controlled”. In order to get to a vote, bills require 60 votes. Republicans in the Senate have held up more votes than any other Congress by far. In 2009, they held up twice as many votes as during a 20 year period a generation ago. It’s only gotten worse since then. Republicans have effectively held up votes on every substative issue, including budget resolutions. Democrats can’t get a bill passed if they can’t vote.
