Long ago a budget was sent through congress at the beginning of each physical year.
Then each year, the congress pass what parts of government were funded, with that budget during that year, to keep that budget balanced.
I agree. And you know the MSM has become totally dysfunctional and just another arm of the Democratic party when all they do is become Obama cheerleaders and work to help subvert the democratic process.

One of the first rules I learned about business negotiations is you don't demonize the other party you are negotiating with. The bullies in this administration and Harry Reid especially specialize in a level of nastiness that guarantees little will be accomplished.
The American People say otherwise, OP. They see through the thinly veiled racism, obstructionism, and hate of the Tea Party. They don't like what they see.
We are watching the Tea Party self-destruct as we speak. Maybe the GOP can rise from the ashes to once again become a party that stands FOR something.
Time will tell.
I have heard for threes the tea party was racist and self destructed . It is not racist and seems to be getting stronger
Democracy is fine when it is done- as we set it up- ACA is a LAW and you deal with it properly on the FLOOR when you want to discuss it's aspects of it. You do not withold payroll from the American workers when the folks in charge do not agree,,,- NO company, corporation or small business ever NOT pay their employees when they argue in the board room... Had the gov't employees walked OUT, then is a different story, but this is bad business and I do not expect these leaders to ever get it right for this country. They can't follow simple rules. It is called RULE of LAW. Do it right, not on personal or factions agendas! The GOP have failed the American people, have lost face and deflated the government worker's trust.
When you vote in people who are willing to fall on the sword or throw the country over the edge because they hate something (ACA) or someone (the President) so much, then you get what you ask for. In the case of these Tea Partiers, they're doing exactly what they said they would. Rational people in their districts need to get rid of them or this will keep happening. You have some things like the gerrymandering that have skewed things.
We have some people in this country who think the government should take care of them, and others who think government is evil. So, when I hear people say they hate Congress..Congress is just a reflection of the country.
For some odd reason, a few people think the entire nation elects congress.
Are they willing, or is the sword only pulled out and stood up when talking to the people that elected them to do a job and not the entire nation of States?
So the house is holding up this budget and you want the President to know what to ask for next year without having this budget resolved?
How bout we work one budget at a time.
There is no budget that has been signed by the president. That is why we are having CR's.
If we had a budget, we would not need CR's, unless the budget the president sign was not a balanced budget.
The majority of American agree that most Congressional Republicans are working towards self-interests, so no OP, that is not how it is supposed to work. They are using procedural rules to further personal agendas. Ted Cruz is the perfcet example of how he used the system to further his personal ambitions. He will never be POTUS, but the attention and support he garnered from people that are ignorant, will at least get him a book deal and TV appearances. He filled the Palin void and is taking full advantage of it.
I have heard it said that we as individuals no matter where we reside in the food chain. High to low, we all seem unwilling to negotiate. Instead we dig in our heels and stand our ground.

Even when the dems controlled both houses of congress, Reid refused to pass a federal budget out of the senate, and just passed a continuing resolution, which continues the 2009 insanely high emergency spending levels.
The only ones negotiating are the Republicans. The repubs want to reduce federal spending and eliminate waste. Reid and Obama refuse to negotiate on any spending reductions, preferring to demonize Republicans for any proposals for reduced spending.
Each year, since they took back the House, they have been sending bi-partisan federal budget bills to the senate. Each year the senate refuses to even bring them up for a vote, and the repubs negotiate with the dems, and give them another CR.
