It is now well over 1000 days since the US Government has created an approved budget. House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said that Congress does not need an official federal budget because it can just adopt appropriations bills and authorization policies as needed to keep operating. If you feel this is irresponsible, and can only lead to more unbridled spending, please sign our No Budget, No Paycheck petition to show your support. We believe if there is no budget, then Congressmen, Senators and the President should not be paid.
