And if all you know about this situation is what you get from the media, you might actually believe that this is a crisis created by Texas Sen.

Heres a simple question: Why are we currently funding the federal government through a series of short-term measures known as continuing resolutions?
The answer is that the budgeting process has completely broken down in recent years, and the two men most responsible for that breakdown are President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. For three consecutive years 2010, 2011, and 2012 the Democrat-controlled Senate did not pass a budget bill because Reid knew that it would be a political liability to do so. Passing a budget that detailed the Democrats plans for spending and revenue as official policy would have exposed the something for nothing swindle that Reid and his colleagues are perpetrating on the American people.
