$21T Reasons to Fix Budget Process

In the wee hours of the morning of March 23, the Senate passed a 2,232-page, $1.3 trillion budget-busting spending bill barely 24 hours after it was introduced to the public. The bill provides funding for the 2018 fiscal year that began six months ago. Members did not even have time to read and digest the bill, let alone debate and amend its provisions.
