Freshman Congressmen: ‘Reid and Senate Holding Americans Hostage’ by Failing to Pass Budget

Thirty seven House freshmen held a press conference on Tuesday to mark the 888th day since the U.S. Senate has taken any action on passing a federal budget.

With three toy-fortune-telling eight balls as a prop on the podium, many of the 37 freshmen said they were at the press conference to urge Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to act to put a federal budget in place – a move the group said would end the uncertainty in the U.S. marketplace.

The group also announced the launch of “Operation Turnaround,” which seeks Senate action on 11 “pro-growth” pieces of legislation that were passed by the House but have languished in the Senate. A resolution disapproving of the Federal Communications Commission’s net neutrality regulations also was cited.

What does the Senate do all day if they don't have time to pass a budget?

Dumbos have no desire to have a budget.

Passing a budget would make it too easy to track where the money goes.  No way that the DemonRats want that.

"Budget? Who needs a budget when you still have blank checks?"...a very probable democrat/Obama quote from behind closed doors.
