RE “Does anyone seriously believe that there are 290 votes in the House for a BBA (never mind 67 in the Senate)?
Besides, a BBA is a waste of time. Any BBA which could pass Congress will have enough loopholes to make it meaningless.

I used to promote the BBA idea here and would get occasional arguments here against it. You are 100% right about the loopholes they would put in, plus it doesnt take effect for 10 years (I think) so it doesnt force them to do anything themselves..

The idea of demanding that a Democrat President/Senate pass a BBA with anti-spending conditions makes as much sense as Democrats waiting till Republicans take over the Hosue to demand that they raise taxes for them, when they (dems) wouldnt do it themselves. Did you see Pelosi try to force GWB to sign obama-care in 2007?

Hmm

How will this end

How do we end this?

We are either going to see a total collapse of society as we know it today or we are going to have to end up fighting for what we believe in.

It is painfully obvious that Americans are not going to vote the right way. Too many on the dole. Just wait until they allow all of the illegal citizens to vote by making them citizens.

Just doesn’t seem like this is going to end well. Perhaps I am just gloom and doom. I just am not seeing the answers before my eyes. Not right now, at least.

How can this end better?
