re: #272 goddamnedfrank

The 2010 budget was passed 739 days ago, July 22, 2009. The 2011 budget was enacted April 15 of this year, which was late so maybe you’re not counting it. Neither budget was passed 823 days ago. You seem to be mindlessly parroting some species of bullshit.

The 2011 budget was NOT a full budget as required by law. It was entirely a stop-gap budget that passed out appropriations for the remainder of the year, which had been operating under a Continuing Resolution up until then.

It made no 2 or 3 year appropriations, which are required under law in full budgets that come out of Committee, pass full House and Senate vote, and are signed by the President.

And it only happened after the House turned over.
