Biden aides are betting that Johnson won't be able to figure this out and are preparing along two tracks.

    So how many months ago was a functional house supposed to pass a budget?

      This isn’t about budgets. It’s about not fixing what is broken. Basically prior to Nixon, Congress authorized a maximum debt amount and the president was meant to spend it on programs that Congress wanted. Nixon decided he wouldn’t spend the money, which offended Congress and they changed how laws were written so that the president wouldn’t have a choice. Nobody ever removed the system of spending caps and here we are.
