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.

That's because your household budget and the governments budget are not in the least bit relatable.

Your right, one is not required by law, the other is but that is ignored by Congress.

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.

That is certainly the case.

Why have they continued to shirk this legal responsibility?

Dems in charge, what's the excuse?

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".
