A special panel dreamed up by Speaker Paul Ryan to end the constant cycle of government shutdowns crashed and burned on Thursday.
The special panel tasked with recommending budget fixes overwhelmingly rejected its own set of proposals, even after lawmakers admitted the package included only modest changes to the way Congress approves budgets and funds the government.
The failed vote follows months of amicable work toward a bipartisan deal. In recent weeks, however, partisan feuding divided the group as members from each side of the aisle began accusing the other party's leaders of dooming approval in the Senate.
“We got gamed here,” said Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.), who, at one point, banged his fist on the table as he bemoaned the panel’s failure. “By leadership — House, Senate, Republican, Democrat.”

Speaker Ryan fails yet again.
Exactly as was designed.
So says a guy who has been playing silly games, and intentionally losing them, since he got elected.
If he honestly thinks a bi-partisan deal was possible in THIS political environment, he’s dumber than Ocasio-Cortez
Some may call me “Captain Obvious”, but it is my belief that Ryan is setting himself up to run against Trump in 2020.
He’s got that smugness about him that he’s the smartest guy in the room, and knows better that everyone.
I could be wrong.
Yes, Paul Ryan, you got “gamed”. It’s been happening since you got into politics. Nobody thinks you’re nearly as smart as you think you are. Your donors don’t care so long as you keep doing as they say.
Nancy’s first budget will include at least Trillion dollars for Global Warming ,LOL
The Poofter’s budget goes poof!
Look forward to two Years (at least) of running the government on ‘Continuing Resolutions’....................
DOH
I shoulda read at least the whole excerpt. I meant Ryan in my previous post; I thought he was the one complaining about being gamed.. I have no idea about Purdue in that respect.
This is our system. He never had any interest in fixing it.
Yes, it is obvious that RinoRyan has been sandbagging for two years. He is just a NeverTrump dickhead.
Now he can be on every cable show with his boyfriends Corker, Flake, Kasich etc to bash on everything President Trump does.
Kasish/Flake/Ryan 2020?
If done properly, funding the government thru ‘Continuing Resolutions’ can do the same thing as reducing the budget...............
Ryan always preferred being the jug-eared jackass Emperor Zero’s cabana boy.
We have a Federal Reserve that creates money and debt at will, in a completely printed, fiat currency, with rates manipulated nearly to zero.
With a credit card like that and a new limit of $22 Trillion and rising, what politician needs to worry about spending?
I guess you have to try, but Ryan was a fool if he ever thought it would go anywhere.
“it is my belief that Ryan is setting himself up to run against Trump in 2020.”
Ryan has told everyone that he is retiring to spend more time with his family.

Are you saying that Speaker Ryan was lying?
We got gamed alright.
“If he honestly thinks a bi-partisan deal was possible in THIS political environment, he’s dumber than Ocasio-Cortez”
Actually, that would be one Helluva tight contest. Closer than any game Alabama’s played this year.
