...consider the political cowardice demonstrated by a Congress unwilling to pass a budget when the current one runs out tomorrow! Could anything be more emblematic of our problems than a legislature unwilling to even vote on keeping itself running? Clearly, incumbents realize any action will be criticized by their opponents. But don't they see that no action is at least equally contemptible?
Goodbye Congress 2010. We look forward to your replacement, and hope it looks nothing like the body that just left the dinner table without finishing the vegetables, or even offering to do the dishes.
It's not just that they didn't finish their vegetables, they didn't eat their rice and complained all night that they weren't having McDonalds while fighting with their siblings.
YanıtlaSilThat's nothing. We've been without a state budget for over 80 days and haven't been on time 16 of the last 20 years.
YanıtlaSilIn California, I believe the legislators are currently not getting paid, but they'll get all of the money back once they pass a budget. I say if they don't do their jobs, they don't get paid. It's been over 80 days.
I'm with you, Wedge. No budget, no pay.
