Utah representative Ben McAdams, a Democrat, warned ominously this week that a “day of reckoning is coming”. It’s the kind of sober language typically used to describe a climate crisis which – if we continue on with business as usual – could end human civilization as we know it.

He and 26 other members of the so-called Blue Dog Coalition – centrist and fiscally-conservative Democrats – are pushing for a constitutional amendment that would prohibit the federal government from running a deficit if there isn’t a war or recession happening.

Look for him to become a Republican the next time he runs for re-election.
Fiscally conservative democrat? Isn’t that like the rainbow colored unicorn?
Got a serious message for these 26 “Blue Dog Democrats”. If you have any street smarts and good common sense you all will switch your political Party status from Democrat to Republican, like right now...today, otherwise you will not be in Congress after 2020...you will have been defeated. Wake up...Dummies!!!
Both of them???

The islamist Party of the sooner would be sharia US.
Head Fake.
They are only looking for cover to prevent from loosing their seats in 2020.
That is assuming the GOP-e can pull their head from their backside.
We don’t want them to switch.
We want to take them out.
So 40% or more of the budget is off limits.
“Fiscally conservative democrat? Isn’t that like the rainbow colored unicorn?”
A rainbow colored unicorn can, at least, be imagined.
“..Fiscally conservative democrat? Isn’t that like the rainbow colored unicorn?....”

Fiscally conservative Democrats?
That’s like a unicorn.
Unicorns. There are no fiscally conservative anything in DC Democrats or Republicans.
Posted before I saw your posts, but I live here. I can attest that there are no fiscal conservatives in DC.
That entire “Blue Dog Coalition” needs to change parties immediately. Boy, would that have an impact on the Democrats.
“A rainbow colored unicorn can, at least, be imagined.”
We call it a “purple squirrel”
