Durbin admits that Dems failed on budget

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., tried to blame Republicans for the Democrat-controlled Senate’s ongoing failure to produce a budget, during an appearance on Morning Joe, but quickly conceded that Democrats have the power to produce a budget, but have chosen not to do so in over 900 days.

While acknowledging that Americans have a “legitimate” complaint over the lack of a budget coming from the Senate, Durbin made a poor attempt to blame Republicans for the Senate’s two-and-a-half year failure. “Our majority is a majority in name only,” he said. “53 Democratic Senators, in most instances, will need the help of Republicans to move forward.”
