I have one question?
 
What have the Democrats done since Oct. 2010 to get a budget done?
 

Suicide run?

This could get interesting.  Brand new, no replies yet.

Now there's primitive comments, but no answer to the question yet.

And this at the end:

22. Budget proposals begin in the House.
   
Republicans could not block anything in the House last year. The House never passed a budget.

I'm sure that's going to kill the campfire.

Yeah, it appears either that doused the campfire, or the campfire being posted here doused it.

But beyond comment #22 above, nothing.

Now that this is posted here, I'll bet no primitive will touch that campfire.

Good job, sir; I do this once in a while myself, to see how the primitives react to our posting something.

"WHAT HAVE THE REPUBLICONS DONE TO CREATE JOBS!!!

Hmmmm.  franksolich can think of lots and lots of things Republicans have tried getting done to create jobs, but there's been a problem, an obstruction.

The Dem-controlled Senate and White House.

What's an Auto Filibuster?  Is that when you buy a car just to get the salesman to shut up?

The primitive who lit the campfire explains, from wikipedia (upthread):

Quote
The United States Federal Budget for Fiscal Year 2011, is a spending request by President Barack Obama to fund government operations for October 2010–September 2011. Figures shown in the spending request do not reflect the actual appropriations for Fiscal Year 2011, which must be authorized by Congress. The budget did not pass by the September 30 deadline, and the government has been funded by a series of six continuing resolutions continuing funding at or near 2010 levels, the most recent of which expires on April 8, 2011.

44. Have you ever looked at the US Constitution?
 
I know it's somewhat out of fashion these days, but.

Article 1, section 7.

The House must pass any budget bill BEFORE the Senate gets to vote on it.

45. This is being discussed right now on msnbc. Congress had a budget, Senate Repubs said they would
 
filibuster it.

They are interviewing Congressman Adam Smith from the Armed Services Committee. 

Guess that's what they meant by 'Auto Filibuster'!  LOL

So, the Republicans said they would filibuster it, so rather than passing it and making it the fault of the Republican's in the Senate, it will now be the fault of the Democrats in in the Senate that we don't have a budget  :whistling:

49. Those are separate issues!
 
1. The Dems COULD have passed a budget (at least through the House, if not all the way through the Senate), but didn't.

2. The Repubs are the ones forcing the shutdown now.

Frankly, to complain about #1 now is like complaining that your favorite sports team didn't start so-and-so at such-and-such a position in the crucial game of last season. it's water under the bridge.

Who is to blame for the current "crisis"? Republicans! Let me say that more emphatically!

REPUBLICANS ARE TO BLAME FOR THE CURRENT BUDGET CRISIS!!
