The FACT is exactly what Rubio just said. THE DEMOCRATS HAD A ZERO OPPOSITION CHANCE TO PASS A 2011 Budget. They decided that it was in their best political careers to punt.
Republicans should be on ALL media outlets saying this.
Did a search for "Obama calls for Democrat to pass a budget". Could not find anything but this:
Democrats 'Budget Enforcement Resolution' Deemed Passed
Last night, as part of a procedural vote on the emergency war supplemental bill, House Democrats attached a document that "deemed as passed" a non-existent $1.12 trillion budget. The execution of the "deeming" document allows Democrats to start spending money for Fiscal Year 2011 without the pesky constraints of a budget.
The procedural vote passed 215-210 with no Republicans voting in favor and 38 Democrats crossing the aisle to vote against deeming the faux budget resolution passed.
Never before -- since the creation of the Congressional budget process -- has the House failed to pass a budget, failed to propose a budget then deemed the non-existent budget as passed as a means to avoid a direct, recorded vote on a budget, but still allow Congress to spend taxpayer money.
