Congress is working on another short-term continuing resolution to fund the government until December.

I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.

For the 43rd time since 1976, Congress has failed to adopt a comprehensive federal budget for the Fiscal Year 2023 that begins Oct. 1

Let me say that another way.  In the past 46 years, Congress has passed a complete and comprehensive budget on time only three times.

In 1976 the National Debt was $620 billion, which is about $3 trillion in today's money.  The National Debt today is over ten times that.

Maybe passing a complete and comprehensive budget on time is one of the keys to getting a handle on the National Debt.

One thing is for sure. A 6% success rate does not inspire confidence in Congress.
