Forget abiding by a budget–this Congress might not even pass one! Apparently, House Democrats are so preoccupied with radicalizing America that they can’t make time for their most fundamental duty: setting the congressional budget for the next fiscal year. If they don’t act quickly, this leadership will be the first group in the history of the modern budget law to fail to pass a plan. It would be a dubious distinction for the party that so fiercely attacked the Republican majority in 2006 for delaying theirs. Back then, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) described the budget as “the most basic responsibility of governing.” Soon-to-be Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tried to spin it as a slap at U.S. kids. Neglecting the budget “h! urts America’s children,” she exclaimed in 2002. Perhaps the most ironic statement came from the office of Budget Chairman John Spratt (D-S.C.), who insisted, “If you can’t budget, you can’t govern.”

And come November, he may be right. Americans are disgusted by the leadership’s wild excess–an excess that’s approaching the $13 trillion debt mark. Instead of cutting back, liberals are passing on the invoices to U.S. families. And, unlike Congress, they can’t turn to each other and say, “Gee, honey, let’s pass a joint resolution so that we can postpone our bills.”
