With all of the attention on the BP oil spill, the European debt crisis and even financial regulatory reform, the fact that Congress hasn’t passed (and will likely not pass) a federal budget for fiscal year 2011 is flying under the radar.
To quote the words of the House Majority Leader, “The most basic responsibility of governing — enacting a budget.”
So what has Congress been so busy doing that they can’t find the time to pass a budget? Watch the 2:10-minute video and find out….

Most r 100% detrimental to society.

Any system based on …
Any system based on property, money and competition REQUIRES FORCE AT ALL LEVELS.
Any system that creates sustainable ABUNDANCE of all of the consumables (like food, water, energy, etc.) and universal ACCESS to everything else (like transportation, information, etc.) ELIMINATES ALL FORCE.
You don’t have to ‘get rid of corrupt human behavior’ just have a system that DOES NOT BENEFIT IT.

Vote out the …
Vote out the incumbents. Seriously, this crap happens because career politicians feel they can get away with almost anything. Democrat or republican doesn’t matter as they are both guilty. The longer incumbents stay in office, the more power they accumulate, the more they then make as lobbyists after they leave. Keep voting the bums out until congress gets the message.

@MooseOfReason, the new fiscal year begins the first of Oct. but the budget SHOULD BE approved on April 15th. I stress “should be” because ever since the progressive left took over the house and senate they have not approved a budget on time.

Oh, they’ll pass a budget once they’ve crammed in enough pork ensuring that their constituents (a.k.a.: addicted voters) receive their goodies back home. It won’t be balanced or frugal in any sense of the word, but it will buy the necessary votes. Red or blue, it’s what politicians do.

WTF?!?! This me off immensely! These wastes of space can’t put forward a budget?!?! It is their JOB!!! When I was in the Army, if I didn’t do my job, I could have been punished (docked pay, given extra duty, jail time), yet these bastards can sit on their and shove health-care down our throats, while ignoring their most basic job. Wait until November.
