I thought that the Senate hadn't passed a budget in years and that we are operating under a series of Continuing Resolutions?
Does Paul Ryan's imprint go back that far?
I agree with your prognosis, however.
There is an agreement in place that constitutes the “continuing resolution” that is the nation’s “budget”.
It was agreed to in the current session of Congress by Democrat Senator Patty Murray and Republican Congressman Paul Ryan.
It created new taxes called “airline fees” and cut military pensions along with the extended unemployment benefits.
It was news when it was created but its been forgotten and ignored in all the noise generated in the media about other things since.
This is the Uniparty blueprint for future budgets in tough economic times like the austerity measures of European nations from their Uniparties.
