Doesn't the Senator think if we had that biennial budget process in place now, we would not be on the floor debating whether we are going to have a shutdown, and that we would have a budget process that was going forward? As he points out, we have next year to provide oversight and accountability on that budget, and we would have the dependability and certainty that businesses and the people of this country are looking for; isn't that right?
