Well, folks, y' got one MORE thing y' can thank them oh-so-friendly, oh-so-helpful 'democrats' for now: NO 2011 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET. Y' think this would have been so un-noticed had it happened because of the 'pubs ... ? Not a peep from the oh-so-friendly State-run 'media' psychophants ... It's really helpful to have a bunch of suckups on your side, ain't it ... ? Free passes are unlimited - even if you're a disappointment to 'em ... you're still one of 'them' ...

Washington (Jun 22)

In light of House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s (D-MD) announcement this morning that House Democrats will not pass a budget this year – failing to fulfill what he has called “the most basic responsibility” of governing – the following important fiscal health warning has been issued:

THE BUDGET HAS BEEN 

CANCELLED



WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT 

THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET 

PLANNED FOR FISCAL YEAR 2011 HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO WASHINGTON DEMOCRATS’ OUT-OF-CONTROL SPENDING SPREE.



AN APOLOGY FOR THIS BETRAYAL OF AMERICAN TAXPAYERS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE FORTHCOMING AT THIS TIME.



BE ADVISED THAT THE FOLLOWING SERVICES WILL BE INTERRUPTED: 



Imposing the fiscal discipline economists say is needed to create jobs and boost our economy



Reining in the out-of-control spending spree that is killing American jobs 



Carrying out the “most basic responsibility of governing”

Stopping middle-class tax hikes that will sock family budgets at the worst possible time

Providing the leadership on jobs and the economy that Americans say is sorely lacking

Protecting our kids and grandkids from the enormous debt burden Washington has placed on them


We reserve the right to notify you of additional consequences that may arise in light of this budget failure, which is unprecedented in the modern era.  In the interim, please brace for more spending, more debt, more tax hikes, more broken promises.

What I find disturbing here is that all the blame is placed on one party and not everyone together as a whole.....some vote against and I am sure some for.....but over spending is not limited to the democrats.....I would say government in place of Republican or Democrat........but then again everyone knows how I feel about playing this game. Stand up be responsible for your own government even if it institutes and over throw or civil war. As said in a movie and we all know it, you have to be willing to go to the mattresses. You have to be willing to give up things and fight for things in order to accomplish a goal. There is no gain without risk.

Do you have proof of that? And aren't the voters the employers of the public office? Do we not place them there, and do we not remove them? How many of members of the House and Senate do their job? Yet we the people keep electing encumbents and propelling the same parties. Is it our fault or theirs?noway yawn

this wouldnt be a first time no budget passed , IF no budget passes

Since 1983 -- the first year the House and Senate stopped passing two budget resolutions annually and began passing one per year -- the two chambers failed to pass a joint budget bill on four occasions. For fiscal year 2003, the Senate, then under Democratic control, failed to pass a budget resolution of any kind, and on three other occasions (fiscal years 1999, 2005 and 2007) the House and Senate failed to reconcile their different bills and pass a compromise measure. In these latter three cases, the Republicans were in the majority in both chambers of Congress.
