Actually, I believe the House and Senate dems have tried to get the budget talks into conference 20 times over the past six months in efforts to negotiate.
Instead the GOP killed all attempts up until last week after pushing the House bill through, so they can use the shutdown as leverage.
Right now, it looks like there's enough support get a clean bill through and end the standoff, yet Bohner won't put it to the floor.
Who's the problem again?
