Congressional gridlock is passing another landmark this week. House Speaker Paul Ryan was faced with questions today about why Friday's deadline to pass a federal budget will not be met. Ryan told reporters, "Our preference is to pass a budget, and we're still talking with our members about how we can do this... We just had two weeks where our members didn't have a chance to get together and discuss things. We're now starting those kinds of conversations now that we're back in town with each other."
