While Barack Obama, Democrats, and the Media (BIRM) are triangulating to blame Republicans for any fallout from Washington’s inevitable collision with the debt ceiling no one seems very interested in discussing the Democrat-led Senate’s failure to pass a budget for 800 days. Remember how the Bush regime was smeared as “lawless”? It’s kind of a law that the government passes a budget every year.
But I come not to debate the legality and/or wisdom of allowing a metaphorical bunch of oxycontin junkies write their own prescriptions. I come to remember all the fascinating things that the world has seen since the United States Senate passed a budget as it is required to do by law each year.
