They have been talking about the budget for 11 years now.

[SnowGlobe7]

It was not in Malikis best interest to pass the budget...nothing in it for him. THis is a new government...they understand the importance and I feel have made major steps forward. I believe we will continue to see changes at what we will think are record speeds compared to the "old guard".

 

I have a lot of faith in the now gov. I think it may take some time, but I have been waiting this long I am highly encouraged by what is being posted in the news articles on a daily basis. I am NOT saying tomorrow, but IMO things are moving faster than they have in a very very long time
