You got it, sweetie! 
Anything for you, pumpkin.
Wow, two whole hours and none of our resident apologists have come in to call us all crybabies.

Simple, Obama submits a budget with $0 for all cabinet members and political appointees for the coming year. That’d fix old hamster fists.
They’re all on a double secret conference call. Plotting how to counter our positions with logic, reason, and facts. Could take a while to put something together.
Huh? Do we have any experts here? My impression is that continuing resolutions can either increase or decrease spending levels–or leave them the same.
Budget? We don’t need no stinkin’ budget!
What…somebody had to say it.
From the OP
But can they add new items? This is for the 2018 budget, Obama already submitted the 2017 budget which sure as hell doesn’t have any of Trump’s idiocies in it.
:smack:
tl;dr
Doesn’t matter. It’ll be Obama’s fault, and Hill’s too.
January 21 2017 Trump tweet: “Unemployment down to 5% thanks to my fantastic policies. You’re welcome America!”
January 2018 Trump tweet: “Unemployment rate of 15% not good. Obama must take the blame. Sad!”
And you know what? Trump’s base will eat this up with a spoon and say “mmm mmm good!”
No offense ThelmaLou, but you’re veering dangerously close to becoming the new Reeder.
No offense taken.
Did s/he find the Snark and softly and suddenly vanish away?
He was banned in 2005. He passed away in 2013.
See the last continuing resolution:
Note they can always do Supplemental appropriations.
Thank you.
For those following at home, the Presidents budget request is a fundamental process to the operation of government. Failing to submit one is more or less like your body telling you: “You know what? I’ve kind of had enough of cellular mitosis. It never makes the news. I’m just not going to do it this year.”
Since it is Congress that passes the spending and tax bills, does it really matter if the President sends a budget? Doesn’t Congress just ignore it?
Jesus. That long ago?
