“BALANCED APPROACH” in Rat speak means< We,Rats, will increase spending and look like we are helping the little people and you, GOP, will be required to balance it with tax increases.
Although I do find it intersting that they always talk about taxing the rich. Every time I see a Rat on TV he is surrounded by or supported by rich folks. Google, Facebook, Birkshire Hathaway, Microsoft, Bruce Springstein, Will-I_am - ‘nuff said.
