This has been all over this morning Col. Lame duck on the way out or just bitter. If the CR is passed down- I believe he will be the first sitting president to leave office with out ever passing a budget. No matter how someone feels- that is not a distinction I would like to carry.

Maj Marty Hogan Thanks, I didn't know that. Wow...a two-term president who has never passed a budget. Yes, I don't think anyone could paint that as a success.

Col Joseph Lenertz - I am trying to find the figures behind it. We may have had 1 early on, but system is slow today. National debt is $20T and in 8 years grew from $6T. Love the FB meme that always shows what he did- I had one the rebuked it and included the websites where the facts were taking from- usually the government's own sites- US Treasury, OPM, etc. Low information is good in politics.

Col Joseph Lenertz - I actually don't mind in these situations- this is info everyone needs. I believe it shows what we are all worried about and what is on our minds.
