You should be asking Senator Harry Reid why doesn't he pass a budget. They've got 53 senators. They only need 51 votes. They got to first compromise with themselves to come up with a plan to put on the table so the American people see what their plan is to stabilize the debt and deficit. (04:51–05:03)
