Re: "No amendment is going to be approved at a time when deficits are so high."

Nor when we have budget roughly in balance (as near the end of the Clinton second term) because THEN we have EVEN LESS public concern over deficits.

It will take a massive deficit disaster to spur structural change.

Truth is: BOTH PARTIES largely support deficits, and BOTH only look out as far as the short-term of their own next election.
