Hardly that simple
Where's the senate's budget? For that matter can you name the last time the Senate produced a budget which is required by law? Where is Reid, why didn't the senate work over the weekend if it has come down to the eleventh hour?
Obama says he won't negotiate on the budget yet the majority of the people say budget cuts are necessary. Who's the obstructionist here?
I don't know what republicans want a government shutdown, but it sure seems like Obama and Reid do.
So the republicans are committing treachery by expressing the wishes of the majority trying to rein in spending while Reid and Obama sit on the sidelines blaming the GOP.
