Tough to stick to the budget when you don't have one. I wish I could run my household like they run DC.
(CNSNews.com) – The national debt has risen by $5 trillion in the three-and-a-half years since the Senate last passed a budget on April 29, 2009. On that date, the debt was $11.2 trillion. As of October 29, 2012 it stood at $16.2 trillion. The last budget resolution passed by a vote of 53-43 in the Senate, marking the last time a budget resolution passed that body. In fact, in 2011 and 2012 the Senate never even drafted a budget resolution. The 2009 budget covered fiscal year 2010. Democrats, led by Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), have held a majority in the Senate since 2007.

What happened in the 1st 2 years when there were not enough republicans to stop them from passing a budget?
Arrogance and over confidence by Obama, old sh-t faced Harry Reid & his ugy ass-d girlfriend Hagglosi.
Reid & Pelosi, two of the worst political hacks ever.
We would have one...if republitards would just get out of the way.
You are grossly mis-informed.
I guess you are NOT aware that the budgets that Obama sent to Congress got 0 votes from even the dems.
The repubs haven't been in the way. The DEM'S in the Senate HAVEN"T SUBMITTED a budget for the repubs to be against.
According to Reid, 'We don't nee a budget".
