Thus the senate is then justified in not passing a budget since 2009, and the govt in general is continuing to spend a trillion more then it takes in because it will all take care of itself when the economy heals.

Except we haven’t taxed more. And we haven’t spent much more. Taxes have gone down for almost everyone over the last 4 years. And spending is growing at the smallest rate in decades, and most of that increase has been purely a function of the economy and demographics.
