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?

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

I hate Paul Ryan.

Good point. What the h*** are we paying these people to do, anyway?

I'm no fan of Ryan, but he's talking about a Budget Resolution, which is not sent to the President and has no force of law.

He promises to pass all 13 appropriations this summer, which hasn't happened in eons. Appropriations are the money that gets spent.
