For almost three years now the Democratic controlled Senate has not passed a budget and Senate majority leader Reed says they will not pass one this year. The House of Representatives passed the budget proposed by Paul Ryan and sent it to the Senate as required.
Congress is required under the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to pass a spending plan and then have it scored by the Congressional Budget Office and signed by the president. That none of this happens suggests a level of disrespect for the law and the people found only among criminals.
Since the Senate is in violation what is the penalty and if there is no penalty the law is useless.
