And you can sit here and just spout off "RW Talking point" all day, and that doesn't make it right either. I work for the federal government, and the fiscal year for the government starts on Oct. 1. Meaning the current fiscal year is from Oct. 1, 2010 to Sept. 30, 2011. Congress, starting with the House, is supposed to do a budget before the start of the fiscal year so that government agencices will know how much they have to spend for the upcoming year. October 1, 2011 starts the FY 2012 spending. Because Congress have to mess around with this, they're behind in working on the budget for FY 2012. As much as you may not like what the OP has said; the fact of the matter is that the OP is right. The House never passed a budget. In fact, there wasn't a vote to pass a budget. Here's a link to Steny Hoyer announcing that there won't be a budget back in June 2010.

No Budget

BTW, I can't believe that people are trying to bust the OP because of their low post count. There was a time you were a member of DU and had only 100 posts. Is there a magic number where a person can post without being questioned as being a freeper?
