<<Being fiscally irresponsible has nothing to do with rules>> The 60 vote requirement in the Senate prevents constructive action on the debt and deficit. Every attempt to either raise taxes or cut spending gets talked to death. When there was a proposal on a deficit reduction commission, it failed for lack of 60 votes. By the way, a fiscally conservative Senator from Utah just got defeated.
