Re: "I'll get on board with a BBA if its combined with a super-majority for tax increases."

Whereas I think that is just the LATEST GOP TRICK to poison the well to MAKE SURE that a Balanced Budget Amendment is *never approved*.

It's a slimy trick to remove just enough steam from the support behind the push for a constitutional mandate for balanced budgets that is on the verge of gaining majority support again so that they can PRETEND that they are "really a'gin deficit spending" ALL WHILE rolling up bigger and bigger deficits on-and-on FOREVER.

It's a TRICK by the lovers of Big Government and bigger deficits, and should be condemned as such.
