When it comes to the budget, there's overdue, there's late & really late. Then there's @SenateDems late. #1400Days

Darrell Issa (@DarrellIssa) February 27, 2013April 29, 2009. That was when the Senate last passed a budget. 1400 days later, it seems the Democrats still aren’t committed to doing their jobs. They’ve been plenty busy manufacturing crises, but they haven’t bothered to address a real one.
You know, all these budget crises might not even be an issue if the Senate had passed one budget in 1400 days. #tcot #p2—

#1400days is the same as 5.2 years of high school….maybe Congress needs just that.—
