Reid doesn't like three weeks budget schedules

Reid reiterated his argument on the Senate floor this afternoon. “On our side of the negotiating table, we’ve made a proposal. That proposal makes significant cuts, but will not hurt our fragile recovery.”

Here Reid lies. The Senate has not passed a three week budget, none, zero zip. What Reid wants is for the Senate to go back on autopilot, but that is not going to happen. Reid is caught with a mal-proportioned Senate which gives him extraordinary power, he refuses to give that up and thus he is stuck with a three week budget cycle.
