Very unlikely to pass the Senate, since 2009 they haven't been passing budgets in election years (or 2011).
That is, rather than going on record on the various appropriations bills like this one, huge "must pass" (or the government "shuts down") continuing resolutions are passed.
It appears that the people would prefer to have the government continue like this in perpetuity, rather than endure a shutdown. I find it dismaying that your characterization of the current state of affairs seems entirely accurate.
