Before the Senate can actually vote on a budget, the House must create it first. The House originates all budgets. Which means that if the Senate did not vote for a budget, then it is because the House never passed a budget. Where is the GOP budget?
Wrong.. The House originates all tax increases, not budgets

Budgets arent raising revenue bills.. They are expenditure bills
Take a look at your own link. The budget the house passes was in 2011. Yor link was for 2012. The budget the house passed and quoted in the abc news link shows it was pased in 2011 budgeted for 2012. When you use yor link and then press 2011 you will see the house did pass a budget for fiscal 2012.

Partisan Bills that they know would never get passed the Senate is not doing your job, it is playing Politics. Keep swinging away
First my post was to point out the house did pass a budget when the OP claimed the house did not the house did not pass a budget.
I do not have time right now to look the following question up so I will ask this
Can the senate amend a budget resolution passed from the house?
Can the senate amend a budget resolution passed from the house?
The Senate has no need to amend a budget resolution from the House, the Senate is supposed to write their own, pass it, then both the House and the Senate bills get sent to committee to write one new bill, that both branches re-vote on. Then it goes to the President.
The Congress is waiting for the Senate to pass a bill so it can go to committee and anyone who blames the House because the Senate hasnt done their job is clearly uneducated on the process.

I thought that was true for all bill but budget resolutions, I do not know where i got that idea

The confusion is probably because the President submits a budget proposals onto Congress, but the Senate voted down Obamas budget proposal 97-0, and hasnt done anything since.
The senate voted down a budget submitted by the great orator 97-0.
1000 days and counting. Republicans should wear a new button every day counting up the number of days without a budget. It's beyond pathetic. The blame for this all goes on Dirty Harry Reid. Of course that is the strategy. Reid isn't up for re election so he sits on everything, Obama blames congress for everything and the dems blame the repubs for stalling everything when it is actually the other way around. But hey it's not the truth that matters it's what the voters think the truth is. It's obvious from the responses in this thread alone the swooners are as clueless on this as everything else.
Problem is....most people in this country have been so "dumbed down"...they can't even understand what's going on in D.C. nor do they care and thats exactly what liberals want!
