Every US Senator should be quizzed over why the Senate Democrats have not passed a budget and why so many House bills are not brought up for a vote.
Republican Senators as to why they are not more vocal and demanding and Democrat Senators as to why they are not pressuring their leadership?
Furthermore, don’t they realize or accept that spending bills come from the House BECAUSE the US House is body closest to the people and represents what the people want?

Just imagine how the various “Big Media Screaming Faces” would be hammering on this lack of a budget if Republicans were the ones holding it up. They would have charts and chalk boards and iPads and foaming at the mouth guests...
What has to originate in the House are bills that are for the purpose of raising revenue - tax bills, and tax bills only.
Spending bills can originate in either chamber.
This made more sense when the federal government more or less stayed within its enumerated spending powers.
