Pelosi: "This Congress' record on fiscal discipline and meeting our national priorities sends the President this message: the days of the fiscally irresponsible Rubber Stamp Congress are over,"So now instead of the fiscally irresponsible Rubber Stamp Congress we have the fiscally irresponsible Buffoonish Do Nothing Cut-And-RunCongress. Keep up the good work, Pelosi.

October the 26th is the latest date in 20 years that Congress has failed to get a single annual appropriations bill to the president's desk
guess he forgot about the last congress, which didn't pass a budget for the year before ajourning
