Congressional Budget Resolution Optional?

It's IRS Day and all Americans must file their taxes with Uncle Sam by midnight or risk dire consequences. However, as we speak, our Congress is considering intentionally missing its deadline to pass a budget resolution for next year. We are no longer shocked by the hypocrisy and arrogance, but we better get angry about it and insist they act, as they have every year since 1974, to pass a resolultion pursuant to budgetary laws. Apparently, Pelosi is considering bucking the system because she doesn't want her Democratic members to have to go on the record on spending, deficits and taxes so close to the November elections. Once again, politicians are demanding of us what they refuse to do, to our detriment, and betting that we won't infer their position from their lack of action. Even the most naive, liberal taxpayer knows that politicians are the worst stewards of the money they force us to send them.
