very handily avoided any action on a budget for two years. They stated that before the elections in 2010 would not be a good time to do so as there were so many embarassing issues they wanted to avoid. Many dems have been quoted they may have lost the elections in 2010 but what they gained was to now push the budget process aggressively and have the issues now come to light as well as the known in advance (as usual) government shutdown....then let the republicans take the heat and set the dems up for 2012.

Only one problem with their thinking ()....they still think the majority of Americans remain stupid enough to believe or buy into the business as usual blame game....and keep on spending game now that they have no budget or responsibility.

Politicians....all of them...very self centered dummies!!!
