There is no blame for Harry Reid here. The right wing tea-partiers have basically said that unless Democrats undo health care reform, then there will be no budget.

This is over a continuing resolution to pay the bills that America has already racked up. Congress authorises all spending before it happens, but now they want to hold the president hostage to try and get him to repeal his own historic healthcare law.

Obamacare has been law since 2010, since which time there has been a presidential election, where Romney said the thing he would do on day one, is repeal Obamacare. Congress passed the bill, the senate passed the bill, and then the president signed it into law. Then the people voted in 2012.

The republican right wing are insane, and if they do this when the debt limit is up, then the whole world economy will be thrown into chaos.

This is a tea party attack on government. They constantly spew bile about killing government, and now this is their effort.
