Actually, it is about agreeing. The Senate could produce a budget and we'd still be right where we are because the two budets would be different. The bottom line is that the House of Reps and the Senate have to agree on final legislation before it can be sent to the Pesident.

And it's the job of the President to provide guidence and leadership over both Houses to come to an agreement.

How's that working out so far?

That's pure speculation because the senate refuses to produce a budget.

The bottom line is if only one house does it's job there is nothing to agree on.

It's the sound of one hand clapping

I thought the Senate members produced budgets but the douche bag Reid refuses to bring them to the floor for a vote; I personally will be happy when the crinkled skin F'er croaks............

Anybody Hear Tell Of 32 Hour Weeks In The Works?

I just happened to overhear something along that line; that the P.T.B. are working on instituting 4-day weeks.
Hmmm.....Tues-Fri on non-payday weeks; Mon-Thurs on payday weeks.
But it's still a 16 hour per payday pay cut for those of us that work 8/5/40.

See the comments above about 22 days of furlough. 1 day a week from mid-April through end of September makes up those 22 days. That probably matches up with what you heard. I'm sure each group can decide whether they want to do Tues-Fri, Mon-Thurs, or take off every Wednesday to make up for it. :shrug:

Regardless, that's far from being a done deal.

I guess I'll know something when the Director passes the word. :shrug:

We can only hope that most, if not all, of these laid off workers voted (D) last year, but they still will not learn.

"The cutbacks are in response to Congress' continuing to fund the Navy at the 2012 budget level, rather than providing what the service was expecting for 2013. Unable to agree on an annual budget, Congress approved a continuing resolution to keep the government operating at 2012 budget levels until March 27."

The House (R) agreed on a budget. The Senate (D) has not even presented one in four years.

Who's holding things up here, Harry?

...and that means nothing until both Houses of Congress agree with each other (via conf committee) and send that legislation to the President for signature or veto. There are hundreds of bills that get passed by one or the other of the two Houses of Congress that go no where because the two Houses of Congress can't agree on a final bill.

What do we need to do to force a recall?

Therefore, the Senate, and their wonderful leader, has continued to not produce a budget, no matter what the (D) side says. Until something is sent to the House for consideration and debate, the Senate has done nothing on the issue.

The lack of a budget for the past four years falls directly on Reid. No one else, unless you add his big daddy in the WH, that is.

one person has been holding up a Senate vote, the lord of the senate himself, Harry (SEIU) Reid. You can blame the democrats in the Senate only in that they made that crack pot crook the grand potentate of the senate.
Oh, and where are the two fearless pinkos focusing the attention of congress - GUN CONTROL. Yep, let's forget about the budget, forget about the economy, but let's strike the 2nd Amendment while emotions run high.

BTW, one of the problems the senators were complaining about is that Obama doesn't want to talk about spending, he wants to talk about revenue.

So, let's increase taxes and cut spending in an ecomomy that can be generously be defined as being in a recession. In other words, let's just push it over the edge and get a full blown depression. Then the pipples will be ready for a true socialist state, then Obama can get those changes to the constitution that allows the federal government to "do more" for us.

Queen Nancy made it quite clear, on Chris Wallace's show Sunday, that there is no spending problem and "lots of cuts" have already been made. There simply isn't room nor place to make any more cuts.:coffee:

There is a lot of hypocry within our leaders, and I include the military leaders.
Lots of politics and the people that will be hurt will be a large number of US civilians.

The incoming Treasury Secretary has pleaded with congress to not make drastic cuts because it would topple a weak economy. Silent Steny Hoyer has to know what sequestration will do to the tri-county area, particularly St. Marys. But these same assclowns that authored the bill and signed it into law. Of course the same idiots authored and signed the healthcare bill and to this date nobody seems to know exactly what that bill does either.
