Reply #6: Since there's no reelection worries for them this year, might it be possible

[Obamanaut]

for them (congress) to get started on the budget for fiscal 2012 (Oct 1, 2011) BEFORE Oct 1, 2011?

They (congress) didn't do anything with this last one until the new people were sworn in, because they didn't want a budget distraction to interfere with their reelection campaigns. What excuse can they have this year?

For the life of me, I cannot understand how so many of them can be reelected time after time, especially amidst the complaining 'we the people' do concerning their lack of production. It always comes down to voting for 'the name you know.'
