I thought they passed a budget until October 2017. These are the most overpaid people on Earth. We really need to start with a complete clean slate.

I know it seems old fashioned, but there used to be a time when annual budgets were done annually. I know, it sounds crazy doesn’t it?

Now that’s more of the same republican leadership we’ve come to know over the last 20 years. /s

Too bad Ryan can’t be floated.

Can someone do an animated GIF of a republican elephant morphing into a democrat donkey?

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Anyone who thinks the Republicans in Congress will ever shrink government are just fooling themselves.

The brilliance of Reagan, under that system, was that when he RAN for office (not even having won the nomination) he set up a budget committee to begin preparing the budget for when he won the general election! When he was nominated, Ed Meese set up budget teams for every major issue/department, and Reagan had his budget ready to go in February of 1981 . . . one month after he was inaugurated!

Regular order. Nope.
End baseline budgeting. Nope.
Defund Obama executive orders. Nope.
Vote for another mushy GOPe republican. Nope.

That was another continuing resolution. Congress hasn’t passed budget and have it signed by Obama since he took office.

Anyone who thinks the Republicans in Congress will ever shrink government are just fooling themselves.The lifeblood of DC is think tanks and other NGOs. That is where the "loyal" "opposition" hangs out when out of office. If we shrink government none of them have anything to do - not even the libertarians like CATO.

Speaker Paul Ryan (?-Wis.) on Friday raised the possibility that House Republicans could decide not to lay out a budget blueprint this year if the party cannot unite behind a proposal. Dear Mister Ryan:
Perhaps this is a time for (I guess I better spell it) l.e.a.d.e.r.s.h.i.p.
Just sayin'.

They all become more and more and more incompetent over time. Why even have a budget? Why even have borders? Why be held to the rule of law, or process, or procedure?
The only thing politicians are leading us to is ruin.
