As part of the "War Supplement Bill for FY2011", The Pelosi House of Representatives "deemed" the 2011 Budget, and the Senate completely discarded the Presidential Budget Proposal. So there was not Federal Budget for FY2011.
Similarly, the President submitted a budget for FY2012, but Senator Reid tossed it, and would not let Congress vote on it. The House of Representatives also sent a 2012 budget proposal to the Senate. Same result. There is no U.S. Federal Budget for FY2012.
Instead, we have a series of "continuing resolutions", allowing Congress to continue spending without the guidelines of a budget
