Three weeks by three weeks, the federal buget cycle

Who wins when Congress is forced to deal with the budget on a triweekly basis?

The voter and taxpayer wins. We have a situation in which the Senate is actually forced to go over the budget line by line, looking for the next compromise. Would the voter prefer that the Senate revert to its traditional elitism, and declare the budget sound by superior intuition?

We have two forces, the House with proportional representation and Senate elitism. The House is currently winning the battle.
