As required by law, President Obama submits a budget each year to Congress. It isn't his fault if they don't pass it.

Harry Reid is a fucking idiot who has destroyed Congress' ability to operate in our time-honored give and take of compromise.
The intended results? We now have an imperial POTUS trying - and failing - to run our nation by executive fatwa.
It is an utter disaster, just like your failed defense of it.

The piece calls passing a bill that won't take effect an "empty gesture".
Okay, fine. I'd still like to know how these people want to spend our money, and how much they want of it in the first place. At least the House had the balls to vote on something.
Am I really asking for too much here?

Republicans have relentlessly harangued the Senate's Democratic leadership for failing to pass a budget resolution. "1,000 days without a budget," was the title of a typical missive last month. On the weekend Jack Lew, who has just been named Barack Obama's chief of staff after serving as his budget director, defended the Senate by saying it couldn't pass a budget without 60 votes, i.e. without the cooperation of some Republicans. Republicans jumped on Mr Lew, pointing out that under Congress' budget procedure, a budget resolution cannot be filibustered and thus only needs a simple majority vote - typically 51 votes - to pass. Glenn Kessler, The Washington Post's fact checker, awarded Mr Lew four Pinocchios, the top score, for fibbing.
In fact, Mr Lew, while wrong on the narrow wording, is right on the substance. It is true that the Senate can pass a budget resolution with a simple majority vote. But for that budget resolution to take effect, it must have either the cooperation of the house, or at least 60 votes in the Senate. Only someone intimately familiar with Parliamentary procedure can explain this. Jim Horney of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities is such a person. The following are his edited remarks from our email conversation:

The President’s Budget did not get a single Democrat vote either. It got zero, I repeat zero, votes in the senate. Everyone is complaining about how poor President Obama can’t get anything done because of mean oh congress. Which President could get things done without congress? I mean every leader in history of mankind had to be able to get action out of people in their government without them they could get nothing done. It is the Presidents job to work with congress, lead and get stuff done. Stop this crying and get to work. I think it is sad that so many Americans accept this as an excuse. It is sad really because so many Americans like excuses over work.

And that's basically because Republicans introduced "poison pills" meant to get Democrats to vote against it.

Either you're retarded or you think lefties are. You obviously don't understand the link you provided and WHY Democrats voted down the budget (Hint: Jeff Sessions resolution). I suggest you try another source.
