Robert Byrd: “After more than 7 years of committing 'blood and treasure' in this region, U.S. taxpayers deserve to know what progress…”

Let us clearly understand one thing. The Constitution's Framers never intended for the Senate to function like the House of Representatives.

Senator Robert Byrd, the expert extraordinary on the Senate, spent weeks on end trying to figure out a way that you could assure the passage of bills that pertained to the budget and not destroy the filibuster rule.

Never, in my view, had America been led by such a dangerous head of state.

If Congress cannot pass a budget, then we should not be paid.
