[quote=enron_by_the_sea]If I start saying that senate republicans have not voted to pass a budget since 2009, it will not be inaccurate.
But that is about as meaningless as saying that Senate has not passed a budget, or house has not passed a budget that is acceptable to senate, or that Obama has not proposed a budget that is acceptable to the house etc.
In reality it takes two (or three) to pass it and if it doesn’t get passed, blame goes everywhere equally.[/quote]
Totally agree on most of that point. But Obama not only has not proposed a budget that’s acceptable to the house, it wasn’t acceptable to the Senate either (even for Senate Democrats): http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/163347-senate-votes-unanimously-against-obama-budget. 97 to 0. That’s pretty bad, don’t you think? But you’re right, blame goes all around. They all need to find some common ground.
