When the Republicans were filibustering each and every bill.
Good times good times.
Did the Democrats in the last Congress even bother to present a bill? I don't seem to recall them doing their job.
So, since they weren't interested when they were supposed to do this (prior to 1 Oct 2010) I say to hell with them and that they should just shut up and not even vote on the budget that they failed to do.
And yes if the Government shuts down there is no spin to it they failed to do their job last year and now it has to be done the hard way. I wonder if they will pass a budget for next year?
