So how exactly is the Senate at fault here? For not taking their orders from the Tea Party kooks who run the House? The guys who wrecked the economy with the "Debt Ceiling" fiasco?

Given the utter fiscal irresponsibility of these lunatics, it is no wonder no one wants to step in that pile of poo they call a budget. In their "debt ceiling crisis", they tried to repudiate the legally incurred debt of the US, sending the markets into another nose dive and sending Americans into another round of watching their 401ks disappear thanks to Republican mismanagement. Maybe if they quite being extremist, partisan kooks and actually tried governing this country using the tools of compromise necessary to make a government of all the people work, I would think you would have somethig more to offer than just more right wing chin music.
