Here's an example. The Senate, controlled by Democrats, haven't passed a budget in over three years. Now you heard the Democrats say, well, that's because Republicans are filibustering. We can't filibuster a budget resolution. It only takes 51 votes. They have 53 Democratic senators. So I would proposition that where compromise first has to occur is in the Democratic Senate caucus. They need to compromise amongst themselves to meet their legal obligation to pass a budget resolution by April 15 of it each year. (08:51–08:58)
