McClintock may not like marijuana, but he sounds like he must be on something hallucinogenic. Is he saying that he supports a simple majority vote for the budget as long as there is also a simple majority for tax hikes?? It sure reads like that to me. And that's insane.

NO.

He's saying he might support a simple majority vote for the budget, but ONLY if there was a spending limit in place (like the old Gann spending cap), AND there was a 2/3 majority requirement for increasing FEES and taxes.

He has never supported lifting the 2/3 majority requirement for taxes.
