There is a budget made every year. Maybe you should do some research and see how the budget system works.

Now if you want to talk about a balanced budget, one has not been made since Clinton was in office, more than a decade ago.

No budget passed by the Congress for many years. Maybe you should do some research and see when the last budget was passed by Congress.

First off, your "highly distinguished" source from Bluffton, Indiana states "History Made: First Time Ever US Congress Fails to Pass a Budget" which is dated July 2010, less than 2 years ago. Second, it had a price tag of $1.12 trillion, delegating money to each item under the bill.

Sure sounds like a budget to me, even if the Republicans don't want to count it as one.

Well you've now posted 3 different times as to the length that they have gone without a budget. 4 years, 3 years, 2 years, whatever.

Here's a link to what the CURRENT budget is.

Reading comprehension difficulties with 'nearly four years?'

Since 2009 ... No budget approved by both chambers. 

Thanks for playing.

Wow....Again you don't know what you're talking about.
House, Senate overwhelmingly pass 2011 budget
The House and Senate on Thursday passed frameworks for the fiscal 2011 budget, six days after a showdown over federal spending threatened to shut down the federal government.

The bill, which calls for axing federal spending by $38 billion through the end of the fiscal year Sept. 30, passed overwhelmingly in both chambers: 260-167 in the House and 81-19 in the Senate.

Congress' action clears the measure for President Obama's signature and ends the first major battle this year over spending by Republicans who rule the U.S. House and the Democrats who control the U.S. Senate and the White House.

The bill pays for government operations through Sept. 30 and makes reductions in a host of areas.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, made his case Thursday for approving the long-sought budget deal and defended the spending cuts as real and tangible.

"This stops the bleeding" of government red ink, he said on the House floor. "It starts us moving in the right direction.

"Does it cut enough? No. Do I wish it cut more? Absolutely. Do we need to cut more? Absolutely."

Boehner predicted before debate began that the bill would pass with a "bipartisan majority."

In the end, 179 Republicans and 81 Democrats backed the measure, which was agreed to late April 8, one hour before the government was slated to shut down.

In the end, 27 of 87 freshmen Republicans who brought the party into the majority did not vote for the compromise.

News reports in recent days make clear that conservative opposition to the plan has grown as details have emerged about what gets funded and what gets cut.

Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan., is emblematic of the freshmen dissenters, who promised voters they would settle for nothing less than $100 billion in cuts in their first year in power.

"We're making no progress in getting out of the red," he said in a statement. "The American people are looking for meaningful reductions that will actually make a difference to our $1.6 trillion deficit and our $14.3 trillion of debt."

Huelskamp and his colleagues are seizing on a report by the Congressional Budget Office that says the budget deal will save only $352 million, in part because there will be a $5 billion increase in Pentagon spending.

Many liberal Democrats weren't too pleased with the compromise, either. Though the agreement does not include some policy provisions Democrats opposed — such as deep cuts to women's health initiatives and Head Start — the impact will be felt in many federal agencies.

"This bill cuts the wrong things too deeply," Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., told NPR.

3 out 4 of your videos are from Fox News....that explains where you've obtained your misinformation.
Quit acting as though the Republicans are blameless.

CNN: Why no budget deal?

Conrad, a North Dakota Democrat, had vowed publicly that he would mark up a 2013 budget resolution in his committee this year. But behind the scenes he was making the case to MacDonough that the August enactment of the Budget Control Act meant that any proposed budgets would not automatically get placed on the Senate calendar to await action. Based on Senate precedent, if the Budget Committee has not produced a budget resolution by April 1, then any budget plan offered in the Senate is automatically put on the Senate calendar.

Reid has already signaled he has no plans to move a Democratic budget resolution to the floor. But if Conrad makes good on his word and marks up a budget, any senator could introduce the Democratic plan and put it on the calendar given MacDonough’s ruling.

Democrats fear going down that path. Only 51 votes are needed for the Senate to take up a budget resolution. Once that happens, senators can offer and require votes on unlimited amendments — a ritual often referred to as the budget “vote-a-rama.”

And Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who needs to win a net four Senate seats to take back the majority in November, could force his top Democratic targets — including Sens. Claire McCaskill, Jon Tester and Sherrod Brown — to vote to repeal all or parts of Obama’s health care law, approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline and other popular GOP proposals.

Two of the interviewed are big in the D column. They confirm, 1,000 + days without a budget.

Quit acting as if the D's don't have a majority in the Senate.

Hahaha...

Fry, they didn't even pass a budget when they controlled the House, the Senate and the Presidency.

Now you assert that the Democrat party has been infiltrated by those weak and whiny Conservatives.

You then throw your own under the bus... specifically, which Democratic Party Senators are really Conservatives??

Oh, and your welcome. I am correct, it is over 1,000 days without a budget.

You do act as if you are a Party tool.

But I do wonder if acting like you, an a-hole, would be better or worse than a tool?
