The GOP in the House worked all year on budgeting for 2014.It is the Democrat Harry Reid Senate that broke the law 4 years failing to write or pass an annual budget.-It is the Democrat Senate and the White House that is demanding 100% their way and refuse to even talk with the GOP…!-and you “fair-minded” Liberals have the audacity to blame the GOP? It is the Democrats who have all the power. It is the Democrats that refuse any compromise. It is the Democrats who would prefer the public suffer for their political games.And it is the Democrats who are breaking the laws…Obama and the Congressional Dems conspired to illegally change the ACA law, which has no “exemptions” for buddies and unions and federal workers! The Law mandated every citizen be covered by the rules of the ACA. How can even a tunnel-vision Liberal be so Un-American and un-constitutional in kow-towing to every false word from the Oval Office????
…Not really worried about it…That’s what the CONGRESS is for nabobs – Look up “checks and balances” – more importantly, find out why it was so IMPORTANT to the Founding Fathers…
They knew that the temptation to arrogate power to the Executive or any one Party was too great… so they BUILT-IN a SPEED BUMP that would insure CAUTION and CIRCUMSPECTION in our legislative bodies…
Otherwise our fates would be decided by one self-beknighted individual and/or his cronies or by a ascendant FEW. Is that what you want, Mr. and Ms. “Progressive”?
Quite a dustup! The Democrats fighting to defend and implement a less than perfect healthcare plan. The Republicans going after them with every means possible to retain an even more disastrous healthcare program. I wonder when they’ll both wake up?
The “both sides” issue is simply wrong. To make the cartoon correct, the elephant is shouting and threatening, while the donkey refuses to drown the baby in order to shut him up. And you call that a lack of compromise.
The GOP has sent to the Senate several funding bills, in the way funding was done historically. But Obama and Reid continue to repeat “No piecemeal funding bills” and Obama said if one or more were sent to him to sign he would veto.That is why the NIH cancer, etal, is pending. Ditto Veterans and other agencies, including the Parks to allow the public to visit American and French (Normandy) cemeteries.-The GOP will fund everything except Obamacare (ACA).They want to reform ACA or start a new and better reform of health care, that doesn’t make HHS and IRS the Dictator. The private sector has the expertise and experience, the insurance needs reform, mainly. Choosing free enterprise and Rejecting Socialism.

What nonsense. The “piecemeal” approach is simply trying to please enough voters to pull some of their chestnuts out of the fire they set themselves.
They wanted a line-item veto when they held the White House. Now they’re trying to weasel their way around the fact that we don’t have one.
All or nothing, rightwing traitors. Get it together and send in a budget that has a chance of being signed.
