Snip

“It's time for our country to demand our federal government stop their irresponsible spending," said Lucas, a Republican from Hartsville.“

I would amend his amendment by also forcing a pay down of the deficit until you are no longer running deficits which then would segue into actual debt repayment.

That’s what I’d like to see.

Better idea: pick ten extra-Consitutional cabinet level agencies and close them completely and permanently.

“stop them from spending more money than they take in. “

No problem, they will just raise taxes.

There is -nothing- as bold as a Republican who knows he has zero chance to pass something. LOL

Graham for balanced budget....

News story from Michigan:
It’s 14 degrees but has been a lot colder lately.

Hell has frozen over, the tiny Michigan town in the dead of winter. HELL, MI - It’s not officially winter in Michigan until Hell freezes over. The water flowing through the dam has officially frozen in Hell, the tiny Michigan town located about 20 minutes northwest of Ann Arbor.

I had to check again. . .Lindsey’s term ends in 2027. Perhaps he is thinking they would make him Senate Majority Leader. Ol Mitch has been in his seat since 1985. 37 long years.

His plan is to rake in lots of money and then do a McCain.
