The Continuing Resolution...

Since Republicans in Congress blocked the proposed 2011 Budget at the last minute (after working on it secretly all year), the branches of the Federal Government are stuck in time, right through March 2011. The time they are stuck in is October 2009 for them.

Because of what Congress did, NASA (just one example) has to continue funding a project that President Obama killed. They have no choice. It's only a $500 Million, no big deal.
