I'd prefer to compromise with normal people who have some sense of sanity. Once again $1 TRILLION in new taxes? And its still projected to have $1.2T deficits?

You think thats regular? Thats not a budget, thats throwing **** against the wall and then crying cause someone else doesnt clean it up..

That is our budget, you just don't like it, but that is the whole point of regular order is to compromise. By the way, who is crying, its your republicans buddies who cried that John Boehner needs to return to regular order. The democrats are simply asking to do what the rest of the republicans want to do.

Senate Passes New Budget: Includes $1 Trillion In New Taxes - Forbes

Um, tax increases dont get written in the senate, making the whole thing garbage...
What hypocrisy.

When the House passed the Ryan budget, which called for slashing Medicaid, making Medicare a voucher program and raising the Social Security retirement age, while also slashing taxes on rich people, they ridiculed the Senate for not passing it.

Now, the shoe is on the other foot and they're getting huffy?

The GOP always gets nervous when they actually have to debate their goals of cutting social programs so they can cut taxes for wealthy people. That isn't a political winner, so of course, they stall.

yes, they passed a budget and the senate passed a budget. The next step is to set up conference committees. You hash out your differences in those committees. Harry Reid has tried to that in the senate, but has been blocked twice by republicans.

You can't compromise with Communist dictators. The Dems want what they want and they aren't going to budge on a damn thing. It's the fuehrer's way or the highway with them.

so if you believe that you can't compromise with democrats, why have you for last 4 years been beating the drum about not passing a budget. You are supposed to compromise once the 3 budgets get released. We didn't do it for 4 years, so you yelled at us. Now we pass one, REPUBLICANS want regular order, we now try to go through regular order, Boehner refuses to set up conferences, and Harry Reid is blocked twice by republicans from being able to do it.
