Where's the Budget?
BOEHNER: I've been asking the questions in all kinds of forms to find out if there is a budget.
VAN SUSTEREN: Directly to her?
BOEHNER: Not directly to her or to Mr. Hoyer. But I want to know where the budget is. He's the one who said that in 2006 that it is one of our basic responsibilities.
And John Spratt, the chairman of the budget committee in 2006, also said that failure to pass a budget is a failure to govern.
VAN SUSTEREN: I got that, because we can't figure out where we are, how much we can spend, until we have some idea of the overall budget. But what do they say when you say where is the budget?
BOEHNER: They haven't said anything.
VAN SUSTEREN: They don't talk to you?
BOEHNER: They don't talk to us.
VAN SUSTEREN: Why can you just pick up the phone and talk to the speaker?
