Today marks the 1,003rd day since the Senate proposed a budget…

…which, I know, all us conservatives are using that fun little fact to try and embarrass the Democrats. As if that were possible.

On the other hand, though, look at it this way: over a thousand days without a federal budget. Are you worse off because of it?

Would you be any better off if they had passed a budget? If they’d passed three of them?

Do I even need to answer that?

So the question is: should we be trying to embarrass the Senate over this “thousand days” thing? Or should we be treating it more like a pilot program? So, okay, we tried the no-budget thing, and that’s worked, so this time let’s see if we can go a thousand days without the Senate proposing anything.

Anything at all.

And if that works, then we envelop the House in our little league of lackadaisicality. And then we could just have the Senate stay home for three years. Three years straight.

See, those “1000 Days” buttons weren’t a complaint. They were a celebration!
