Reid says passing a budget is "foolish"

It's been over 750 days since the Democratic-controlled Senate exercised prudence and passed a budget. Apparently doing so is now "foolish."

The Los Angeles Times tells the tale:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said it would be "foolish" for Democrats to propose their own federal budget for 2012, despite continued attacks from Republicans that the party is ducking its responsibility to put forward a solution to the nation's deficit problems.

"There's no need to have a Democratic budget in my opinion," Reid said in an interview Thursday. "It would be foolish for us to do a budget at this stage."

Didn't we just hit another debt ceiling?
