Absolutely correct.
As I understand the process though, the multi-year and no-year discretionary bills passed by a previous Congress remain in effect unless they expire by law or unless the current Congress explicitly changes (adjusts, suspends, repeals) them.
When challenged about the Democrats not having passed an annual budget since 2009, little Chuckie Schumer responded that they didn’t have to because the last Budget Control Act set spending for several years.
I like that statement.

Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.[Posted on 11/19/2013 12:16:51 PM by Third Person]
