I love how Republicans gridlock Congress and then gloat that a budget can't be passed
stupid Obama never passed a budget
sure, Russh. the deficit will be down to 700 billion this year, with extra people on UE and welfare costing 400 billion- how much is that over 5 years.... Stop blocking a recovery with the phoney crises and blocking a jobs act.. Reagan tripled the debt, Boosh doubled it and you loved it, ya brainwashed fool. With one dumb solution for everything...

stupid Obama never passed a budget
you obviously have no idea how the federal budget process works. The house has passed a budget bill every year of obama's regime. Reid has not let a single one be discussed or voted on in the senate, he has not allowed a house/senate conference committee on any house-passed budget bill.
the gridlock rests solely on the scrawny shoulders of dingy harry reid.

Keep telling yourself that and maybe someone might believe you
Republicans have gridlocked Congress and gloat over the fact that we have a Do Nothing Congress. Republicans pass their "Kill Obamacare" budgets and then whine that they get nowhere
Republicans simultaneously force meaningless bills through the House while they filibuster Senate bills
As a result we have the most inept Congress in History and republicans celebrate

seems to me that the celebrating has all been on your side of the aisle. As long as there is no budget Obozo can rule by dictate.
BTW, what gives him the right to delay implementation of part of the ACA? What gives him the right to waive it for congress, the administration, and his big business cronies?
What gives him the right to ignore the provisions of a bill that he signed into law?

Republicans filibuster every significant piece of legislation in the Senate yet expect their "kill Obamacare" budgets to be voted on
Bizzaro world
right, and as the debt gets larger the interest payments get larger. you do realize that we are ONLY paying the interest on the debt, nothing on the principal, right?
Do you libs think this can go on forever? Every time congress increases the debt ceiling, the problem gets worse. Why do you dem/libs support increasing the debt ceiling?
If you don't raise the debt ceiling, approximately 1/3 (at least) of all federal government spending has to stop.
Show us how you would make those cuts.
How about a 33% across the board cut to all government agencies? All of them, every fricken one.
What would you do if your household expenses exceeded your income by 33% ?
If you don't like that then lets do away with the: dept of energy, EPA, dept of education, NPR, cut congressional salaries and benefits by half, cut congressional staffs by half, eliminate farm subsidies, eliminate all energy subsidies, close all foreign bases unless the host country pays the entire bil, eliminate all foreign aid, repeal obamacare, make all able bodied people work for welfare and food stamps

And how many Republicans will vote for a 33% cut in the defense budget?
1.6 trillion of the spending of the last 4 years was interest on the debt.

Adjusted for inflation, federal government spending PEAKED in FY 2009 (note that FY 2009 includes 3 months of 2008)
and has been lower than that peak year ever since.
No Republican president since Eisenhower has numbers like that.

That only works when you completely disregard the fact that the government increased spending damn near 20% in 2009 in what was supposed to be temporary spending in order to combat the coming crash. I notice that every single bullshit comparison ALWAYS rests on 2009n because the left here is being completely dishonest about what happened that year.
It is asinine to demand that the year that we authorized damn near a trillion dollars to be used for bank bailouts is somehow the benchmark for Obamas base spending. That is completely dishonest. They also leave out the fact that it was the left calling for most of that spending as well.
Obama has spent more than anyone previous by a pretty large margin that is a simply fact.

I don't know, how many dems would vote for it?
You asked for a solution, I gave you an easy one. What's your solution? tax the evil rich?
The GOP House passes budgets without any Democratic input that contain poison pills making them dead in the water
Starting your budget with "Repeal Obamacare" is not a workable budget
Reid is under no obligation to consider a budget that is a waste of the Senates time
Bullshit. Thats why they have a conference committee, to work out the differences and come up with a bill that both sides agree on-------its been working that way since 1776.
Why hasn't Reid allowed a vote on any house passed budget? Was he afraid one might pass?
your argument has no merit. A huge senage vote against a house budget bill would be a victory for the dems and obama. But no, Reid has not allowed any votes, why?
Why should Reid waste the Senates time?
They have filibustering to do

A solution that is politically impossible to implement is not an easy solution. It's not a solution at all.
My solution is the same it's always been. Reinstate PAYGO, that worked in the nineties, and let the country grow out of the deficit.
Democrats are authorized to pass a budget?
Who do you think is to blame for the lack of progress in the senate?
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) confirmed Thursday that she will seek the chairmanship of the Senate Budget Committee next year but told The Hill that she cannot commit to doing a budget.
This opens up the possibility that Senate Democrats will avoiding passing a budget resolution for the fourth year in a row. The last time the Senate passed a standalone budget resolution was in 2009.
Murray: Can't guarantee 2014 budget - The Hill's On The Money
Do you seriously believe this Congress is capable of agreeing to a budget?
Want to talk about sequester?
