The question had to be asked. Last count, they still control the Senate and Presidency. Using *gasp* basic math, that means they still control the Executive branch and 1/2 of the Legislative. Again, according to basic math, this places them in the majority. Hmm...
Has the Senate gone on vacation and no one noticed?
We know what the House is doing, budget cuts and this year's budget. We know what the President is doing, playing golf and giving conflicting and confusing statements on Libya. We even know what VP Biden is doing. His usual display of putting his foot in his mouth. So what is the Democratic Senate doing? Does anyone know? Anyone?
It is really sad that the public is looking at the House to perform all three jobs. (Theirs, the Senate, and the President).
The silence is deafening or is it speaking volumes?
An interesting riddle, perhaps unsolvable. Where Exactly Are The Democrat's Priorities?

You do understand that the Constitution requires all spending bills to originate in the House of Representatives, yes?

Of course, I do. The bills are there. The House has them written and in hand. Some of them have even been voted on. So again, what exactly is the Democratic Senate doing?

That also brings up the question about last year's budget when that the Democratic House was responsible for passing but instead blatantly passed the buck.

Harry Reid has been busy blaming the tea party for the lack of a budget. Even though they had a year to pass it.
He is also out there claiming that the GOP is wanting to kill social security. So, essentially, no Reid hasnt shut up, just less people listening
