Why I love budget (NOT!)

26 more days til the end of the Federal Government's fiscal year. Whee.

How much you wanna bet we don't have a real budget for FY02 until at least mid-October? ;-)

Well, since we don't have a surplus anymore, why bother. ;-)

Surplus, schmerplus. I just want an operating budget so we aren't going under continuing resolutions until Thanksgiving again. :-) Though I have to say a nice free vacation would be fun.

LOL, funny how we haven't even heard about Bush trying to force his budget through yet. This should be amusing.

Forcing Budgets

I've heard some grumblings about it, but then again I'm a tad more attuned to such things given where I work. :) He's been urging lawmakers to "stay within the current fiscal constraints" or some such BS, acting like they shouldn't have to tap the social security fund. Yeah, right.

LOL, I still wanna place him in a lockbox (you know, the one Chandra Levy is in)

Sit back and enjoy

This one's gonna be fun kids...that new Democratic Senate is gonna screw Bush on this one...Defense will go first, then HHS...the moral battleground of American, and finally the pet education bill. Bush is gonna look like a moron...hmm as opposed to when...when they finally run out of money.
On a random note...we follow the fed's inclimate weather policy at work, I wonder if that rolls over. IE if they are closed, are we?

Somehow I doubt it, but the possibility of a nice furlough at the beginning of October sounds really nice right about now. :-) I doubt they'd actually shut us down, though, given the beating they took on that the last time it happened.
