It's just inane. It's unconscionable that this leadership here in this House isn't even going to attempt, not even attempt to bring about a budget for this Congress to vote on. And why is that? Why would they not, particularly with these very strong statements that the majority whip, now Steny Hoyer, made back in 2006 before they became the majority? John Spratt, when he was on the Budget Committee, not the chairman, as he is now, said if you can't budget, you can't govern. But they can't budget, they won't budget, and they are not governing very well either. But why? Why is that so?
