What in the world is a "Deemed as Passed" yet non-existent budget?
Well, it's something just about as crazy as it sounds.
In July, as part of an emergency war bill, House Democrats stuck in a proposal to "deem as passed" a budget which doesn't actually exist.
A federal budget which has never been made nor voted on. Yet by "deeming" it passed, the House (controlled by Democrats, led by Ms. Pelosi) can spend YOUR money--without those cumbersome restraints of having a real budget.
This is FIRST year since the budget process was created in 1921 that a Congressional budget has not been enacted.
So what does this mean?
Congressional Democrats can spend as they please without budgetary constraints.
And at the same time, the "Non-Budget" doesn't ensure that our federal government meet its basic obligations to We, The People, such as defense.
Nor does this "Non-Budget" address the basics of a budget, such as accounting for income and outgo.
The House has basically reneged on one of its most basic governmental functions.
Question: So why do we need those Congress people, who cannot even perform one of their most basic duties?
