My, oh my. And poor Mr. Ryan made such a big deal about tossing the President's budget proposal away without even looking at it. I wonder where these "tea partiers" came from. Who invited them in and let them have so much power? Oh, yes; it was Mr. Ryan's party who thought these people would be a great addition to their party and let them wag the dog.

Interesting excerpts:
It's extremely frustrating," GOP Rep. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota said of the imminent budget failure. He praised Ryan's style, but added: "It's admirable in some ways but not producing results."
Ryan has repeatedly lambasted Democrats when they didn't get budgets done while in congressional control, even backing a law that would have cut off lawmakers' paychecks if they failed to pass a budget.The budget is not the only area where House Republicans are faltering under Ryan's leadership. Very little significant legislation has been moving, and negotiations over a bill to address Puerto Rico's fiscal crisis have proceeded in fits and starts. It's unclear whether a just-released Puerto Rico bill backed by Ryan will attract the needed support.
