Onerous Legislations

Did you ever notice how politicians always make it sound like there is NO TIME. We must act now! They are always in a hurry and to quote Obama; "we can't wait". And yet it has been more than 3 years since the congress has passed a BUDGET. Apparently America can wait for a budget but not SPENDING BILLS! Senate rules require bills to be held for 48 hours before they receive a vote so members can read them, but said the Senate failed to follow even that minimal rule.
