I'm not a real expert when it comes to US politics, but didn't the Republicans have a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate in 2005 as well as the president. How can Democrats even block anything if Republicans really want to push it through?

Let's stop caring about 2005 for a moment. Congress has been Democrat for several years now. In the US, it is Congress's job to spend the money. They ultimately control our financial future. I have no clue how you can not put responsibility on that party for how our money has been handled over the last few years.

If you want to blame Republicans for what happened when Republicans were in control, fine, but if you do, pony up and realize nothing has been done in the last few years to fix the problem, and that is completely on the Democrats.

You do not understand what a filibuster is?

Yes, I understand what it is. I also understand that it was a tactic used while the Republicans were in control. With your logic, you can't blame the Republicans now either.

Pick a standard, and apply it equally.
