Boehner lashed out at the Senate saying the House has moved two bills while Senators have done nothing.
The Speaker of the House said "we should not have to move a third bill before the Senate gets off their ass and begins to do something."
Sequestration, a group of automatic budget cuts will kick in on Friday if a deal isn’t reached.
Meanwhile both sides are blaming the other while those in the know continue to point out the effects the cuts would have.
Among them Fed chairman Ben Bernanke who warned it would be a significant "burden on the recovery."
One side effect is already being felt as the Immigrations and Custom Enforcement office has been releasing illegal aliens across the nation saying they needed a more cost effective way to keep track of them.
Interestingly enough, public opinion seems to follow a “don’t care” attitude. A poll by the Washington Post/Pew organization shows that just 25% of America is watching the sequester and even fewer say they understand.
