Congress passed a "continuing resolution" last night. Rather than perform its Constitutional role of allocating Federal funds to needed programs, it punted. The continuing resolution says in effect, "All you bureaucrats can keep on spending money the way you did last year."
No killing of wasteful and unneeded programs. No new programs. Stasis, nothing changes. With the economy headed for the rocks, Congress says "Steady as she goes. Full steam ahead."
In stead of passing departmental appropriation bills like its is supposed to, Congress has spent its time threatening to shut down the government, investigating Hillary's email, passing highway bills, and general purpose bloviating.
Way to go Congress Critters.
