Answer that. I dare you. Explain how a company making billions can cast off 12-13k workers while claiming (as all corporations do) that taxes are hurting their revenues.

Our entire lives we were taught its not smart to spend money we dont have, but you are calling those who want to apply this principal to our federal government ******ed? Thats... uh... ******ed...
Tea party didn't win, they didnt want any debt ceiling increase. It was decision rendered exactly the way the framers intended.

Originally posted by LoftyDog View PostYet the teabaggers complained that there is no provision for a balance budget amendment, which was unrealistic anyway. They really don't know what compromise is I guess.
How, specifically, is that unrealistic? Because the career politicians in both parties who love to spend on their militarism and domestic entitlement programs make it politically impossible?

Originally posted by vercingetorix3 View PostThe balanced budget amendment would require that the federal government balance its budget in seven to eight years, that sounds reasonable to me.

Originally posted by Easy-E View Postthe overarching goal is reasonable, but to bring that amendment at the last minute with all of those specifics into the debate was simply ridiculous. Remember, the bill didn't just say we have to do this, it also had guidelines to how. BB should have been taken up separately.
Do you think there will be enough bipartisan momentum ever to get it passed, if not now? It's amazing to see how even with the new budget deal, the federal budget will never balance at current spending levels.
Was there anything specific that did you not like about the details of the balanced budget amendment to the Constitution?
