    The other day I tried to find out if we’ve ever lapped a budget before.

    CRs have become the norm, and get later and later.

    But I think 2025 might be the first fiscal year America doesn’t have a budget, we’ve only got 4 more months before the next budget is due lmao

      Well, if Trump’s last go-around is any indication, when Republicans control every level of government, they get virtually nothing done as they spend all their time infighting amongst the various groups that make up the Unholy Coalition.

        I’m the last person to ever use the “both sides the same” but our side had some of that same problem during Obama’s first term. Yes, key legislation was passed, but just barely and even some of those bills had some compromises.
