In New York State we have our own "Three men and a budget: The Governor along with the Senate and Assembly majority chiefs (I am reluctant to call them "leaders"). They always decide the final budget outcome, and all the time ...
That now exists in DC with these three and the "Raw Deal." [story from here - The Ticket].
"The Senate on Tuesday voted to raise the nation's debt ceiling, saving the government from potentially defaulting on its debts and concluding a heated, protracted battle in Washington. Senators voted 74-26 to raise the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling this afternoon following last night's House passage of the bill. The legislation increases the debt ceiling by $2 trillion and is offset by federal spending cuts, some of which will be directed later this year by a select congressional committee." (Note: those cuts will automatic if they can't agree - that my friends is not very democratic and may not pass constitutional muster - wait and see).
So, in the end, it's kinda pathetic and sad at the same time.
BTW: Where's Boehner in this pic? Oh, he stepped out for more TEA and golf.
