An update to my piece for the magazine this week (“Dereliction of Duty“). In my efforts to simplify budget arcana, I left out some important information.

I reported that some Republicans on Capitol Hill believe that congressional Democrats may push a vote on a budget resolution back until after the election. That’s still true. But a more likely scenario is actually even worse: They won’t hold a vote on a budget resolution at all.
