Of course the difference with Obama and all these other Presidents is that they had a budget. They havn't had one in the States since last summer. That's a lot of money sitting in the President's hands without direction.

Imagine going to a bank for a business loan without a budget.
The recent debt ceiling increase was required to cover expenses already approved in previous budgets only, not new spending.

Also, the Senate is in breech of the Constution by not submitting a budget.
I was under the impression that budget bills must come from the House, not the Senate. Is that not the case? If so, please provide a citation. Also, please cite the specific passage of the Constitution you believe the Senate to be in violation of.
