Sen. Bernie Sanders was appointed to a Senate and House budget
conference committee to create a long-term budget plan by Dec. 13 to
avert another government shutdown. A member of the Senate Budget
Committee, Sanders said he looks forward to developing an alternative to
the stopgap, sequestration-level budget that Congress approved late
Wednesday as part of an agreement to reopen the government. “I am
excited about being a member of the budget conference committee and I
look forward to working with my Democratic and Republican colleagues to
end the absurdity of sequestration and to develop a budget which works
for all Americans. In my view, it is imperative that this new budget
helps us create the millions of jobs we desperately need and does not
balance the budget on the backs of working people, the elderly, the
children, the sick and the poor,” Sanders said.

Now, we need Elizabeth Warren on the conference committee.

Would have been nice if the Senate had done their Constitutional job of
submitting a budget for the last 6 years. I feel they should all be
arrested and go to jail for unlawfully taking their pay.

I don't think most Americans support the Zell Miller approach of blowing
up the government, Bilious.

Ms. Warren is busy becoming "Washingtonized"

What the hell is wrong with requiring the Senate to produce a budget?
Required by law for one thing!

Constitutional scholars in the White house think budgets get in the way
of running progressive governments.

The president submits a wish list.

The house writes the budget and the senate gets to vote on it or
rewrite it and send it back to the house. The senate has done neither.


So far this year, the Senate has offered to conference more than 20
times with the House. The House turned down every request.

Because the House won't deal with them.
