April 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

Almost 4yrs the Senate has ignored the law and refused to pass a budget. More than #1400Days our fed gov’t has operated without a budget.

Nearly four years later … nothing.
#1400days is the same as 5.2 years of high school….maybe Congress needs just that.
— Lilia Dashevsky (@LiliaDashevsky) February 27, 2013
It really is pathetic.
@SenDanCoats #1400days No wonder we have a spending problem! How do you stay "in budget" when you don't have one? 3rd Grade math here folks.

In the past #1400days I've graduated high school, started college, joined a sorority, restarted @IWURepublicans, worked in a classroom…

Every follow up question to @HarryReid should start with, "Okay, but you haven't passed a budget in #1400days, Senator." #tcot
