The pay rate for members of Congress also rises automatically so they don't have to vote on that either.

Vote against your incumbent. Regardless of party.

And doesn't that almost trillion dollar stimulus from 2009 keep rolling over every year without a budget?

No excuse to not pass a budget this year. None.

I love this common knee jerk response.

BUT DIDN"T OBAMA DO IT AS WELL?!?!?

Shouldn't the Trump Administration try to be BETTER than the supposed worst POTUS of all time?

You are aware we worked without a budget for 7 or Obama's 8 years, right?

I am not defending it. I think it should be a law to work under a budget.

Hypocritical shitheads.

You were as outraged that Obama didn't work under one as well, then, right? I mean, if it is a huge deal, you were upset, right?

I am not happy with it, either. But I didn't see a single Democrat on this board complain about it then, so I am wondering about the urgency now.

Well my incumbent is Ted Cruz and he has come out against pay raises and is fighting to pass a budget so I don't know what voting him out would accomplish, especially if the alternative would be a Democrat I know couldn't care less about it.

I do agree there are a large number of Republicans and a far larger number of Democrats in DC that are unprincipled and worthless. I also agree that Trump sucks at getting legislation passed and doesn't understand how to work with Congress (one of many reasons I didn't vote for him). I do think he cares about it but it isn't a high priority. I know for sure though that Obama and Hillary and 90% of Democrats don't GAS at all about passing a budget and they sure as hell aren't going to vote against a raise for themselves.
