27. My late husband used to say

That Congress should be moved to the south west desert every October, into a building with no heating or air conditioner. They would not be allowed to leave until the budget legislation had been passed and signed. No continuing resolutions allowed.

Yeah, totally silly, but I think that he was right in one thing - right now, there is no reason for congress to actually get a budget passed. They can wait and wait and with continuing resolutions manage to get the government without actually even addressing the idea of a budget.

Even the big bills. Like the military spending bill. No one is concerned about funding the military. For most of my life, the point of this bill was getting as much federal spending into each state and district as possible. Now, of course, it's about making sure that female members of the military are not allowed to have abortions.

No one, even Congress, even the military, really knows what is in the bill, except for the part that makes sure that there are no abortions in the military.

If they actually cared about the military, that one Senator would not be allowed to block the promotions.
