All spending bills must originate in the House of Representatives. Who controls the house of Representatives again?

they keep passing budgets and spending bills in the House, but the Democrats in the Senate (who are the cheering section for Obama), keep blocking them.

What else can you ask of the Republican controlled House but to pass bills. It takes a Republican controlled Senate and House with a two thirds majority to overturn a veto by Obama.

Yes all spending bills have to originate in the House. Its the Senate that keeps trying to change this by passing Obama and Reid's do nothing legislation.

A budget was passed. A bill to extend the payroll tax (social security and medicare taxes)for a year. The Senate then passed their own version and walked out, blaming the Republican. The MSM carries the President and Reid's water and spins to blame anyone but the liberal Democrats.
