[quote=SK in CV][quote=AN][quote=enron_by_the_sea][quote=AN]The other 2/3 have no room to complain about the bad budget from the other 1/3 if they haven’t passed one of their own. That’s the whole point of negotiation right? Put your budget on the table and see where they can come together?[/quote]
* Obama can’t “pass” budget but do not complain that he did not propose one .
No, the President has presented budgets and while budget resolutions technically require only a majority vote, in order for the budget to take effect, it must survive a cloture vote on an identical bill passed in the House. It was effectively (though not technically) filibustered by Republicans in the Senate.[/quote]
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.
