Tomorrow will mark a milestone: It will be 1,200 days since Senate Democrats passed a budget, during which time Congress amassed $4.8 trillion in new debt.

Later today, the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee will release this chart, detailing these startling numbers:

[SoFloFreeper]

It has been 110 days since that 1,200 day mark was reached.

Obamugabe's party in the Senate has not passed a budget in 1,310 days.

Harry Reid and his cabal hate America.

Did anyone see any TV advertising about this topic during the election? Didn’t the RNC or NRSC think this was a topic worthy of people hearing and that the need for CHANGE$ would only happen with fewer democRATS in the Senate?

Real leaders in the Republican party would be DEMANDING A BUDGET in any "fiscal cliff" deals.

[OldNavyVet]

Harry Reid and Barack Obama are systematically turning America into a home for crooks and slaves.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Maybe it becomes the Republicans turn to say, “We will not address the fiscal crisis until the Democrats in the Senate pass a budget.”

[JCBreckenridge]

“Did anyone see any TV advertising about this topic during the election? Didn’t the RNC or NRSC think this was a topic worthy of people hearing and that the need for CHANGE$ would only happen with fewer democRATS in the Senate?”

None here. It’s a fundamental aspect of a responsible government. That Obama has been successfully re-elected without having to ever pass a budget is a quiet moment towards the death of the American republic.

We may never see another budget, again.

All my TX senators are Republican’s but they too should be SCREAMING not working “quietly”.
