Why doesn't the Senate pass the House Progressive Caucus Budget? [View all]

House GOP members want the Senate to pass a budget? There's an excellent budget prepared by the House Progressive Caucus that would go a long way toward solving the deficit problem and putting Americans back to work. Why doesn't the Senate just pass that budget and send it to the House? Oh, the GOP want the Senate to pass their budget? Too bad; it seems we have a difference of opinion. Isn't that what negotiations are about? Let's start on the Democratic side with a budget we can support! Of course, I doubt McConnell and his band of GOP Senate wonks would even let such a budget come to a vote. Then Democrats could really go after the GOP!!!
