Democrats expect voters not to notice or care if they do notice, that legislators have not passed a budget for next year’s federal spending.

The Pelosi-Reid Leadership Team have gone off the grid of congressional practice and not even pretended to care about spending targets and deficit projections. Humming, “que sere sere” whatever will be will be, they twirl toward Summer Vacation and the November Elections beyond.

President Obama and his Congressional allies expect to be assisted in their casual shuffling off the most basic of Article 1 duties by a Manhattan-Beltway media elite, quick to assure their dwindling audiences that the abandonment of budgeting isn’t completely without precedent. Lefty pundits can and will point to a year or two where the pressures of business ended the hope of a formal budget.

The President’s Pals in the Press will be hard-pressed though, to find any years in which the effort wasn’t even begun and there is no example of a year wherein a deficit like the one the country faces today went unaddressed by a national budget plan.
