Senate Democrats have been avoiding tough votes on fiscal issues for some time. They haven’t passed a budget resolution for three years, though the budget act requires them to do so.
That likely reflects a reluctance to make their policies clear to the public and, perhaps, differences in their caucus making it as hard for them to muster a majority as it was for Boehner Thursday night.
Are we going over the cliff? Looks like it to me.
Merry Christmas, everyone. We will survive. Times that try men’s souls are times to become men and women.
