The Shut Down Continues
So, now the media says that the deal is being negotiated in the Senate, because the talks broke down between the House and and the President.
What in hell does the Senate have to negotiate? Harry Reid negotiated a deal with John Boehner, and that is what the Senate keeps sending to the House, and Boehner refuses to hold a vote on it. Boehner needs to negotiate with Boehner and see if they can come to an agreement.
The House needs to do its job and stop blocking everything. There have been House and Senate budget bills awaiting resolution since April, but Boehner has refused to appoint members for the conference committee to negotiate the final bill that is voted on. The President isn’t even involved in the process until after a bill passes both Houses of Congress, so there is no point in talking to him yet.
These people act like they have never done this before, and don’t know what to do.
Pass a clean continuing resolution for six-weeks, raise the debt ceiling for a year, and start working on the real budget in a conference committee. It isn’t hard to understand, and it doesn’t require any drama. It’s your job, and your responsibility. If you can’t deal with it, don’t expect to be back in 2014 because you are really getting on people’s nerves.
