Senate Dems to Skip Budget Resolution… Again
2nd March 2014
The budget resolution, which Congress is required to enact each year, provides a framework for appropriators to produce a detailed spending blueprint for the government. The appropriations committees work within the limits set by the resolution to prioritize spending for every government agency and program.
“Senate Democrats are required by law to produce a budget,” Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) said Friday. “Our nation is in enormous financial distress, and workers and families are suffering. Senate Democrats have produced only one budget in the last five years. This Senate and, more importantly, the American public, deserve to see a detailed ten-year financial plan to contain our dangerously rising debt and revitalize our dismal economy.”
I guess obeying the Constitution is only for the Little People.
