What is real lunacy is this rediculous cycle of stop gap funding by continuous resolution . If we elected responsible leaders in the executive and the legislative branch then we would have a budget passed for the full fiscal year and we would end the fraud called 'baseline' budgetting .Every year, Congress faces an Oct. 1 deadline to pass a spending package that will pay for our government through the following fiscal year. And every year since 1998, Congress has blown straight past that deadline. That is a national embarrassment .
