Wouldn't that be great if nobody in Washington got paid unless they do the jobs they were elected to do?

I don't think they are too worried about getting paid, particularly since the Govt is Constitutionally obligated to pay them.

I for one, wish they did not cave in to the Dems. But this is exactly what your side wanted pall. Congrats. I have no faith in our politicians at this point. It is absolutely insane that we keep doing this. We cant do this in our own homes and financial situations. It would be foolish and idiotic to do so, yet they do it with our national economy. Utter insanity.

And you dumb liberals must be so damn proud of not passing a budge in how many years now??!!?!?! And you have the gull to blame only the GOP for the mess we went into!

Really??

1- You know the Senate has done nothing since 2009.
2- You are going to need a link to back up your 15 year comment.

The last full Budget was signed in 1997...

Does Congress Even Need to Pass a Budget?
