Don't forget this.

Obama could not turn down the bill because he knows it will backfire if he does. And there are more like it where that comes from. The next one needs to be next in importance to the majority of Americans who are paying attention.  The next one should ALSO be able to stand on its own as critical, and should also buy more time, or more importantly make impossible the use of emotional pandering that has become the hallmark of this administrations advocacy efforts.

Perhaps Air traffic controllers, Social security, then another bill for the National parks, etc.  Each one specifically appeasing the traditional crowd one item at a time as well as making it nearly impossible for the president to turn down.  Appeal to the emotions as he has.  Roll them out as 'critical', and worthy of standing on their own!  Real people with real jobs etc., yada yada.

Who the hell needs an omnibus spending bill?

And before you know it the budget has been built from the ground up.

eventually, the parts left over stop being as important.  The things that have been funded inappropriately for decades start showing up as an "oh, that thing" budget item.  One of those itmes might even be that thing called Obamacare.

This is no NEW process, but rather one that has been simply ignored because of the political realities in DC.  those realities sometimes called K-Street, Banking/industrial complex, favor trading, or whatever.  Building from scratch has incredible advantages, and can really put perspective on what is truly important to the people, and those who purport to represent those people.

Its something commonly referred to as baseline zero based budgeting.
