Well, yeah, the lack of a formal budget and the need for continuing resolutions have to do with differences on how federal money is spent, and, possibly, on not openly broadcasting how much is spent on what by publishing a budget. Since most of the money is spent on progressive reforms to the federal system, including the large array of executive and independent agencies, social security, medicare, etc. . . . the lack of a formal budget has quite a bit to do with progressivism. The massive size and continued growth of the central government is a direct result of progressivism, as well as is the trillions of dollars required to sustain it
