Now. only 40 days later. the process has begun again with the submission of the Presidents new budget on February 5. By limiting budget decisions to every other year. Congress would have considerably more time to spend passing critical legislation. Whether it be immigration reform. which we need to do. tax cuts. or legislation addressing our Nations housing problems. Congress could focus more on important legislative matters rather than just always every year backed up. jammed up with appropriations debates. arguing over pork and earmarks. among others. Some will argue that 2year budgeting would increase the need for enacting supplemental spending.
