Last night, as part of a procedural vote on the emergency war supplemental bill, House Democrats attached a document that "deemed as passed" a non-existent $1.12 trillion budget. The execution of the "deeming" document allows Democrats to start spending money for Fiscal Year 2011 without the pesky constraints of a budget.

Well, when you have a real budget, it has this pesky side effect of making it obvious and transparent what you're spending money on.

It's a good thing the community organizer didn't run on a platform of transparency and accountability. I mean, really, he would have egg on his face. Glad we dodged a bullet here.

Wow. I wonder what this nation looked like when the politicians were corrupt but still upheld took their vow of office seriously, as opposed to now when they just don't give a ****.

Hey, hey, guys. Calm down. It's not like being the stewards of Federal spending is a Constitutional duty of the Congress.
