It will be a mess, until there is some real change all around it will continue to be a mess. A sad, sad mess.

No doubt about it. Continuing Resolution. Nobody in Congress has any interest in anything but, and if there was to be a real budget, it would get done after the new Congress was sworn in.
No one finds it to their advantage to do anything different, lest they be criticized (God forbid).
Nope. CR all the way.

No reason whatsoever to believe anything but another continuing resolution. It has become the norm, and with elections right around the corner, our politicians are much too busy politicking to be concerned with such trivialities as the national budget (sarcasm for those that may not have picked up on that).

Seriously? With the mid-term elections coming up? You actually thing Congress will do anything? We are talking about the Congress with the lowest approval rating in history, which has actually done less than the "Do Nothing Congress" ever did... or didn't do.

I can't even remember the last time we've had an actual budget. Let's just hope we can get even a CR.

Won't get passed if John Boehner has anything to say about it, and unfortunately he will.

I vote that a CR will happen... now exactly when is another story. Congress has floated the government on various spending bills for several years now failing at its first job: pass a budget.

Based on past performance, I'm voting "lock the doors". (sadly)

Do you guys at least get time off when that happens?

Continuing resolution.

Congress and the President will likely not get on the same sheet of music, especially in an election year. The Republicans will run against the President, and the Democrats will run against the Congress.
