The reason the bill has come forward is simple: Portman wants lawmakers to create budgets while discouraging "last-minute, haphazard stopgap" measures, like continuing resolutions.

"This legislation will accomplish that goal, providing lawmakers with more time to reach a responsible resolution to budget negotiations, giving federal workers and their families more stability, and ensuring we avoid disruptions that ultimately hurt our economy, taxpayers and working families," Portman said in a statement."

They're not following current law, what makes anyone think the congress will follow another law?

“”This legislation will accomplish that goal, providing lawmakers with more time to reach a responsible resolution to budget negotiations”

MORE TIME? For peat’s sake, the budget is an annual process! How in the hell can they “legislate themselves” more time! We should put these feckless turds out of office at the earliest point that we can.

We need and amendment that states that the government came only spend 15% of GNP. If so, then all politicians will lose their pay and retirement and be terminated.
