You don't get it - it's not just the Dems fault. The Republicans are just as much to blame, and PP is just the excuse, for the lack of compromise so that they fulfill their sworn duties - pass a budget.
The Republicans have shown what's truly important to them, shoving their social agenda down our throats, and it's not what the American people think is important - fix the economy. And the Dems let it get this bad by their crappy and ineffectual leadership over the last several decades.
But we must all remember you're not a lib
You can't make this stuff up.
Simple solution to PP supporters. Retroactively abort them
And by the way it is about breaking America's addiction to spending money they don't have. Dems are behaving like heroin addicts being dragged to the clinic.
And we must remember that you can't read. <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="

Yeah, it's only the Dems that've been on a spending spree for the last 20 years now... :Whatever:

You really do not know that this budget was supposed to be passed last year, before the mid-term election, whenever the Democrats had the majority in both House and Senate? They put it off continously and passed emergency spending resolutions over and over. This crisis is TOTALLY the Democrats fault.
hmmmmm....I think more people are fed up with conservatives cutting spending by punishing poor and lower income people while catering to the wealthy and corporations. Just an opinion outdoor, like yours is.
