So he’s basically saying that the Congress, in spite of everything they say, have no intention of passing a budget between now and then.

Do you even know what a Fiscal Year is?

There hasn't been a real budget submitted and passed by Congress since the middle of the last decade.

All we have had is these Continual Resolutions that push government to the brink, get people riled up, let consultants and "strategists" get on news shows to spew their bile about how evil Republicans are.

This CR expires at the end of the Fiscal Year. Then Trump can present a budget to Congress that prioritizes his agenda, not the Left's.

If the Dems threaten shutdown, then let them. Let them pound sand while Trump can explain to the American people how we need to go back to balanced budgets.

The same exact thing that just happened is going to happen again in September.

And Mike Pence will go on somewhere and tell us how it was a win.

And now Jim DeMint has been freed from his contract at Heritage to take his transition team to the WH grounds to write that budget starting today. And, of course, any legislation POTUS wants written.

Wow. Why knew the Pres. had such powers!?

Trump could submit every wish list he wanted. Congress has NO compulsion to pass ANYTHING. Trump’s budget would be ‘for reference only’ and not a damn thing, outside of a veto, he could do.

He can explain ‘til the cows come home, but the media\DEMs will harp EVERY second of any threat that might have teeth. Add in the dickless cowards in the ‘leadership’ and it’s pretty much a guaranteed done deal.

Lastly, the whole procrastination stinks to high heaven for someone whom touts himself a biz man. When if biz is going down, one doesn’t wait months to right and mitigate the damage!!

All the peckerwoods in D.C. could fight for ANY ‘savings’ or ‘cuts’...they’ll just *have to do* w/ a measly $1T (99% unconstitutional spending). But, they’re going to grow a pair in Sept?

R-I-G-H-T
