The last budget used by the federal government to determine spending priorities was signed in the fall of 2007 by George W. Bush for fiscal year 2008. There has not been one annual budget passed since then. Obama has not served one day in office with a spending budget in place.

It seems so hard to believe that congress will do anything other than cower at the thought of having the press blame them for a ‘shut-down’ and they’ll be too ashamed to pass what the president wants, so the lazy way out is to just pass yet more continuing resolutions insisting that they’d only be ‘temporary’ or ‘emergency’ measures.
Uh huh.
