They did filibuster it. Reid tried to pass the Omnibus Bill last December. This was after the House already passed it.
Since the FAA is a federal agency, does that mean that federal air traffic controllers won't be going to work during a government shutdown, effectively grounding all flights?
Ryan is proposing $4T in cuts at a time the country is on a brink of a double dip recession.
Skipping meals to avoid debt when you are already malnourished is not good financial planning, it's stupidity that will land you in a hospital or worse.

EDIT: The House passed a CR that would have funded the government through FY2011.

These right wingers don't understand basic economics. They think it helps the economy when you lay people off.
No wonder they support outsourcing and union busting so vehemently. They believe workers are a drain on the economy, sapping success and economic prosperity from the long suffering conservative Captains of Industry.
Bond interest rates don't lie. Govt can borrow record sums at near zero interest because there is a lot of money on the sidelines chasing safety over risk.
Cut spending...cut spending...balance the budget....no deficit spending....blah blah blah....except when the repubs are in control of the government.
If you want proof, then you obviously failed history 101.
Heard on KQED today that people who have been waiting for years to get permits to raft down the great Canyon may not get to if GOP succeeds in shutting down the government

Oh the horrors we live in this nation!
Aw, that's too bad . If the GOP does the right thing and prevents the Democrats from being even bigger free-spending colossal jack-asses it looks like a lot of people aren't going to get their chance to go rafting.
Yeah, too bad for the GOP. Do you think independents are going to care more whether GOP cuts $39B or $31B from budget, or whether they get their tax refund on time and can go on vacation to a national park? Money talks, BS walks.
So the house passed a 1 week continuing resolution that funds the military throughout the rest of the year that cuts 11 billion. The President has already threatened to veto it.
I'm starting to think Obama wants a shutdown.

We are not going to be funding the government one week at a time. GOP will need to do their job and fund it for the rest of the year, or take responsibility for the shutdown.
Its better than shutting it down...
It will also make sure that the military gets paid in a timely fashion even if we do eventually shut the government down.
Surely you wouldn't want that to happen would you?
Its still unbelievable to me that we are fighting over 1% of the budget.
