Embarrassing: Senate Democrats Fail to Pass a Single Sequester Replacement Bill in 15 Months

Posted by Speaker Boehner Press Office February 28, 2013 Press Release

WASHINGTON, DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) released the following statement after the Democratic-controlled Senate failed to pass legislation replacing President Obama’s sequester:

“It’s embarrassing that after 15 months Senate Democrats still haven’t passed a single sequester replacement bill. The American people deserve better. Republicans in the House passed legislation almost a year ago in May, and again in December, to avert the president’s sequester and help put us on a path to a balanced budget. Now that today’s political stunt to raise taxes has failed, it’s time for the president and Senate Democrats to do the hard work that is necessary to pass a bill in the Senate so we can begin to resolve this issue.”

It’s only “embarrassing” when someone calls them out on it. Who’s doing the calling out besides the Squeaker of the House?
