We still don't have a federal budget. But if you are going to get sucked into believing in the "political party" fantasy...then you have to put a big chunk of blame on the Democrats for not doing anything when they were in complete control. They could have already had a budget passed and done but they did not.

They could have done all the things that Obama promised in his campaign that got us all excited...but they did not.

ALL politicians are the same. And they all are only concerned with their own power and funneling as much FREE money (from taxpayers & borrowed money) back to their buddies in their home states as they can.
