Do you realize that when President Obama delivers his State of the Union address on Jan. 24 it will mark 1,000 days since Congress last passed a federal budget?! Yes, it's been just shy of three years since Congress took action on the most important duty they have. To be fair, the House of Representatives has passed a couple of budget proposals, but the Senate has passed nothing. No wonder the government has a spending problem! Would you go three years without balancing your check book? I sure wouldn't! In the State of the Union address we'll likely hear a lot about the economy and job creation, but the government needs to stick to business and pass a budget. As far as the economy is concerned, if the government would quit micro-managing through onerous taxes and regulations, and let the markets work, we'd probably see some progress.
