Ridgewood NJ, Aug 11, 2012 marked the 1,200th day since the Democratic-controlled Senate last adopted a proper budget. Yet our distinguished Senator Robert Menendez said that is incorrect citing the Budget Control Act, claiming that in fact the Senate had voted on a budget .
His Republican U.S. Senate challenger Joe Kyrillos has been hitting Senator Menendez over and over saying he hasn’t been doing his job when it comes to passing a budget in the U.S. Senate.
According to the Star ledger the Act set limits on discretionary spending, but it is missing other features of a “budget resolution,” which is considered a budget plan under the official congressional budget process. The Senate hasn’t passed such a plan in more than three years. Making Senator Menendez claim entirely false.
Perhaps thats one why trillion dollar deficits go unnoticed by the US Senate?
