Which is it? A "continuing resolution" or a "stall tactic". My understanding is these "continuing resolutions" have been par for the course in decades of negotiation. Except, of course, 1995. And we all know what a debacle that was for the Republicans.
Was it a "stall tactic" in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2005? Or was it a "continuing resolution"?
I assume you are aware that the budget we are talking about is the 2011 fiscal year which began September 1, 2010. So we have been under various continuing resolutions for almost 6 months;
half the fiscal year! So yes when you are half way through the year for the budget you have not even passed yet, it's a stall tactic.
