And speaking of going nowhere, we've been hearing still from House
Republicans that we need a vote on the Balanced Budget Amendment to the
Constitution.
The odds
of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution passing
are exactly zero.
It has no chance of getting through the Senate, and it has no chance of getting
three-quarters of the states to ratify it - which is what it takes for a
Constitutional amendment.
So the idea that a vote
on the Balanced Budget Amendment
should have anything to do with the resolution of what is a real crisis, is
frankly unbelievable because it is just
fantasyland. It has nothing to do with what might actually be passed into law.
