Boehner lamenting no budget passed and all, what idiots he think Americans are .. Fact is there hasn't been a Federal Budget passed since 1997 .. please spare us the phony indignation John.
Not 100% accurate.

When was the last time we had a budget bill that was approved?
April of 2009. But technically it was just an “omnibus spending bill,” and President Barack Obama was none too thrilled to be signing it, citing the excessive number of earmark projects. The following year, Democrats chose not to put forth a budget bill because they deemed it politically imprudent during the hotly contested midterm elections. Same thing happened the next year. You get the point.
I read your interesting link and found these words in it that you don't seem to have read. I have to wonder if that Murray woman really knows chit about these things.
"Republicans should stop using these threats of default to hold our economy hostage, and as always, we are ready to work with them to determine the most productive path toward ending these constant crises and moving toward a balanced, bipartisan, and comprehensive budget deal,” Murray spokesman Eli Zupnick said.
My favorite word in that little grouping of words would have to be bipartisan. When will the Senate be working with the House in a bipartisan manner?
They seem to try but the House is to busy fighting with each other so it goes nowhere.
“As Senator Cornyn said today, Republican threats to play politics with the debt limit are nothing more than a negotiating ploy, so we expect them to allow us to raise the debt limit so the government can pay the bills it has already accrued," he said.
