Thomas Sowell explains it in a few words and so simply even a moron could understand it.
I wish I could express myself that well.

We don't have to have a clean CR... The house  have a right to decide whether or not they want to spend money on a particular government activity. And what not to spend money on...Part of the checks and balances of our government.

"CR" stands for "Concurrent Resolution."

Here's the definition for that term:

concurrent resolution - A legislative measure, designated "S. Con. Res." and numbered consecutively upon introduction, generally employed to address the sentiments of both chambers, to deal with issues or matters affecting both houses, such as a concurrent budget resolution, or to create a temporary joint committee. Concurrent resolutions are not submitted to the president and thus do not have the force of law.

Am I missing something, or is the normal, accepted budget process just that -- passing a budget?

Wasn't this CR process the idea of the White House to begin with?

Yes, it was. The Boy King didn't want to have his power to spend constrained by a budget saying what all that money should be spent on. The Marxist party in Congress, and the lickspittle yes-men in the theoretical opposition party saw nothing wrong with this.
