OMB is preparing for what we're calling the "Schumer shutdown." It still surprises me - and I've been through some of these before - that the Democrats in the Senate are opposing a bill that they don't oppose.

Over the last few weeks, debates in the North Carolina legislature have focused on the budget and the stark differences between the House and Senate versions. This week I would like to discuss more of the politics of the budget process and what that means for spending measures.

The state of North Carolina has begun its 2015-16 fiscal year with a continuing resolution instead of a budget. While it would certainly have been better if lawmakers and Gov. Pat McCrory had inked a formal budget by now, the situation could be much worse.

It is a shame that the Republicans did not have the intestinal fortitude to stay the course, and the result is that you (Republicans) will be blamed for the shut down.

Several weeks ago it was Harry Reid threatening to invoke the "Nuclear Option" (i.e. changing the Senate rules so that a simple majority would be all that is required to pass legislation) if the Reps didn't do whatever it was he wanted.

Remember back when we had this congressional "11th hour" standoff, and if they did do as they were advised by Candidate Obama, then the Candidate and his minions would teach the Republicans a political lesson that they would not soon forget. Well, we're there now.

The GOP establishment has been rolling its collective eyes dismissively at those of us fighting tooth and nail to stop ObamaCare. Now, they're ready to help Big Barry jack up the federal debt even further.

Instead of DOING their constitutionally-mandated job of passing a budget, the GOP-dominated House has decided to play along with the Ruling Class's never-ending cycle of continuing resolutions -- guaranteeing another "crisis" at the end of September.
