Problem is, a Democratic Party budget in the Senate wasn't filibustered the last two years for one simple reason: DEMOCRATS IN POWER NEVER PROPOSED ONE! What's it been - more than 800 days now since Dems in the Senate abdicated that basic duty? Durbins response here was worse than dodging. It was pure idiocy:
How does a US Senator not know that it takes a simple majority to pass a budget, not 60 votes? Even setting that aside, the Dems did have 60 votes until the 2010 elections. They didn't propose or pass a budget during that time either.
