Perhaps someone should be paying attention to this stuff...

" The 1974 Budget Act says that, as a matter of law, the Senate Budget Committee is to pass a resolution by April 1 and Congress as a whole to pass one by April 15. No matter. Kent Conrad is the Bartleby the Scrivener of budgeting: He prefers not to".

Why in the world would a Senate of the US not want a budget ?


"Fresh from his stalwart act of nonbudgeting, Sen. Conrad said it was too hard to pass a budget in an election year. But Senate Democrats hadn’t passed one in 2011 or 2010, either.

This year is a presidential election year, 2011 was an off-year, and 2010 was a midterm election year. That covers every kind of year there is in Washington. By this standard, the Senate will have an annual excuse not to pass a budget resolution for the rest of time."

"This gambit, a running charade for years now, betrays the intellectual exhaustion of the last remaining Democratic majority on Capitol Hill — too scared and too cynical to undertake even a rudimentary gesture toward governing."

Ok...for those of you who like to get yuks on this stuff.....I am not sure what is so funny about all of this...I realize that I nor you will change anyones mind...I know it "just" a forum...you guys have told me that. Just continue to support this thing with total blind loyalty.....if he gets reelected it will be mucho worse and then you can come here an complain but there will be nothing you can do.
