    A balanced budget amendment without an enforceable tax limiting provision would be a disaster.


    It would be used as a way for tax and spend types to say that they are required by law to raise taxes.

    More important is getting the Demos down on the vote. Which if they vote no. Then the Repubs can make fools of them when they say they are for fiscal responsibility.

    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    I have had that happen to me. I tried to edit something I wrote. The page stopped functioning for a minute. When it began working again instead of an edit I had a new post that included what I intended to edit plus a new line with the edits.

    I would vote against a balanced budget amendment if it did not include a real and enforceable tax limiting provision. A provision which would make it extremely difficult to balance a budget simply by raising taxes

    Its not going to pass anyways.....the Demos themselves can block it in the House and Senate. So its only good to get those names down for their vote.


    Hence the play by Ryan.
