Yeah, remember that thing from way back when? At the time Democrats opposed it because they were afraid, among other things, social programs would be cut. Well, it didn't pass and social programs got cut anyway. What did the Republicans do in the absence of a Balanced Budget Amendment? They cut taxes dramatically for the wealthy and sent deficits soaring. So, now we have the worst of all worlds--the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Why not propose a Balanced Budget Amendment? Hell, the only thing that can be done to balance the budget is to wipe out those tax cuts. Makes us look like the party of fiscal responsibility. I bet it polls damn well too. Any thoughts?
