Harry Reid Shuts Down Senate Budget Process

For the third consecutive year, the Democrat-led US Senate will not pass a budget.

[E]arlier this afternoon, Conrad gave a press conference in which he made the stunning announcement that there will be no budget markup after all. Instead, he will present a budget to the Budget Committee tomorrow. There will be no amendments and there will be no votes; not, at least, until after the election. Apparently Conrad had been proceeding on his own initiative, and at the 11th hour Harry Reid–supported by members of his caucus who do not want to have to go on record in favor of any budget–shut down the process.

Nobody tell Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.
