1,000 Days Without a Budget

Tomorrow's Pres Obama's next State of the Union speech.  It's also the 1,000th day since the US Senate passed a budget.  For the US government to have a budget requires the House and Senate to jointly write and pass it, then the President signs it.  The House has passed multiple budget proposals, but the Senate hasn't even attempted to do so.  All the while, they add trillions of dollars to the Federal Debt.  Here are a couple videos on the issue.





Remember, writing the Federal budget is a chief, constitutionally mandated duty of Congress.  Our senators aren't doing their jobs, and getting paid lavish salaries and benefits for their inaction.
