More on Harry

The article below explains nicely why Harry Reid has had no interest in passing a budget since April, 2009... baseline budgeting.

After the stimulus spending, which was supposed to be a one-time deal, all Harry had to do was break the law (by not passing a budget), and let baseline budgeting take over to keep spending at the newly elevated levels.  Far better to do that, from his point of view, than to formally announce to the public, through a budget, that the increased spending was here to stay. 

It's analogous to wiping one's prints off the murder weapon.
