OK, let me play politics for a minute.
If I were a Tea Party Freshman, here’s what I’d tell Boehner...
“Mr. Speaker...you already understand why I oppose this bill; you yourself of course are a fan of Cut, Cap and Balance, and I don’t know why you aren’t pushing forward wtih CCB instead of this. Perhaps you know it won’t pass, so can we do this instead - we’ll pass this, but we reintroduce CCB (without the debt ceiling increase since that’s already done) once this is passed and signed.”
Trouble is, there will be a problem with bringing a Balanced Budget Amendment to the senate with all the dims still in it. I think realistically we have to take the White House and the Senate before we are gonna get that. We don't have the leverage yet. As much as I hate to admit that.
