    It’s actually pretty simple when you break it down; our government is ran entirely by huge pieces of shit.

    Senate Filibuster

    Democrats still want to debate the budget. Mainly over the healthcare plan subsidies. For the federal budget, conclusion of debate can only be forced by 60 votes.

    Once that happens, the budget can pass with a simple majority in the senate, assuming the house passes the same version.
