The GOP won't stop until we are in a full scale depression & they'll give us one with a Balanced Budget Amendment

It's a dangerous temptation for those who wish for prudence in government, it is anything but.  A balanced budget at this point would destroy the economy.  Government spending is at the base, spending.  Spending goes into the GDP as demand, which we sorely need. The economy isn't tanked because of no operating cash for businesses, it is because businesses don't have any demand.  It would get worse if you tried to balance the budget.  And given that the GOP doesn't ever want to cut defense, all the balancing will be done on the backs of the poor.


The bastards aren't fit to lead, unless you wish to be led to economic ruin.-george
