Either the link is broken, or you just showed me the entire transcript for the 111th and 112th Congresses. In either case, I don't follow.

I provided you a source. You dig up the non-filibuster.

So sure, they could pass a budget, it just would be empty paper without the republicans playing along.

They'd also be on record for the spending and no Senator wants that.

So it seems the issue really isn't one house failing to pass a budget. It's both houses in disagreement over a budget to pass.

Which backs up the argument that it isnt so much a democratic failure to govern as it is a total failure to govern by both sides. Either side trying to use the budget as a sign the other side is screwing up and they arent is being fairly dishonest.
