If I understand you clearly, you’re stating that a BBA may or may not actually mean what most people think.
You could raise taxes to balance the budget, but most folks wouldn’t see that as meeting the spirit of the law.
I would agree with that.
What I was trying to convey earlier is that after years of folks spending like a drunken Democrat, we can’t place a Conservative in there and have them simply refuse to pay our bills because we want to stop deficit spending.
It takes time, and would necessitate increased federal revenue, reduced federal spending, and more fiscal responsibility over time.
I submit it can be done, but not with two party leaderships fighting the only man with a real plan.
We can’t blame Trump for not getting things back in order if Congress won’t work with him.
He can’t cut taxes on his own, sparking the economy and facilitating massive increases in jobs for the nation’s citizens. We can’t blame him if he can’t make a sharp impact on welfare outlays if Congress gets timid.
Both parties are fighting Trump stronger than either of them ever fought Obama or Clinton.
As a man that voted for Trump, I know what is going on here. If Republican and Democrat leadership think they’re getting away with something, I’ve got news for them!
Further, if the Republican’s destroy Trump’s ability to get anything done in his first term, I’d support him getting a third term to make up for it, if he could physically remain sound and effective.
As far as I am concerned, the Republican party is dead to me.
There is a problem here though. It would be worse with a Democrat Congress. We can’t lose our heads here and not vote, or vote for Democrats.
The primaries are the time to rid ourselves of RINOs, and if we don’t get organized and do it in 2018, we don’t deserve to have our nation returned to sound fiscal policy.

Isnt’ that the definition of a pol\lawyer: Using the spirit of the letter to violate the letter of the law?
Most folks don’t know their ass from their elbows, only constantly “want, want, want”, and pols all too eager to violate law\Rights to ‘make it happen’ (while lining their own pockets).

Note, I said nothing about NOT paying our bills. There is a YUGE difference between a VALID dept and one that is not.

Perhaps the issue w/ the mistaken impression there are only 2 valid viewpoints (R\D). I contend, though, not many here are willing to open their eyes/ears TOO greatly in that regard though (IMO, they enjoy living in battered-wife-syndrome).

No. Technically, the Pres. has VERY little power. You’d never know that from Congress or Zero\Hillary\Clinton or even the Bush’s.

Correct: You believe you know what’s going on here. But, IMO, if you think there will be any major ‘backlash’, I’m afraid you (others) are sorely mistaken; especially with 90%+ re-election rates.
If I’m wrong, I’d like to hear who ran for ‘leadership’ (and the votes tallied). There shows how much ‘change’ is meaningful in D.C.

Again, the incorrect belief that there exists ONLY two choices...

Just how silent in consent is the Party there days? Yet, still willing to pull the lever, thinking the choice is ‘ours’?? Who’s ‘turn’ will it be from the masters? Another Dole/McCain/Romney?
Whomever your party puts up, I wish you luck. As an outsider, all I see if a stacked deck.
