And no mention of the fact that we have not passed a Constitutionally-required budget in several years. No budget, no appropriations bills, just a series of debt increases and “continuing resolutions”.

You are only partially correct in this. The House has passed numerous budgets. It is the demonratic controlled Senate who has not passed a budget and that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave has yet to submit a budget according to the constitution

The WH has submitted budgets. They usually get voted down in the Senate unanimously. What the president has not done is submitted his required budget requests on time.

What started as a Pelosi-Reid attempt to avoid passing a record deficit budget in an election year has now become a habit. They are using the (stupid) baseline increase to keep spending money when they know they can't pass a similar budget with a vote. The only way to stop it is for the House to grow a pair and say no more CRs until the Senate goes to conference. Only one more CR during that process. If that CR expires we shut the government down until a real budget passes.

“You are only partially correct in this.”

Minor issue. Congress has not passed a budget.

The president is not required to submit a budget, though that has become common practice.
