U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman discusses the vote on the fiscal year 2011 (FY11) budget in this week's podcast. Bingaman supports the budget; though he does not believe it is perfect, he thinks it contains funding for the most important and significant parts of government. A vote on the bill is expected later this week in the Senate, after which, Congress will dismiss for a two-week recess, during which members will work from their states and districts.
