Your understanding of what can be done immediately must be poor.

One Congress cannot lock future Congresses into a spending plan. That's exactly why the Balanced Budget Amendment is part of this plan. That does have the teeth to hold Congress accountable long term, regardless of parties in power.

You can argue the initial year's cuts are too small but claiming this plan does "nothing" is as silly as it is wrong.

The Balanced Budget Amendment will not pass. No meaningful spending cuts will pass. If the gutless wonder “GOP Leaders” have their way, Comrade O will get his increase in debt limit (lest nervous GOP plutocrats be inconvenienced in any way) and his political slush funds. Lucy...Charlie Brown... football. Again and again and again. Pie in the sky bye and bye.
