You know, all of this discussion apparently has worked. The Boehner 3.0 version has just been released. It’s a large PDF file. I’ve had just a brief chance to go through this. It’s 104 pages and they have to have so many pages just to have room for all the zeros, as they talk about all the trillions of dollars here. The word “trigger” does not appear one time in it. The word “taxes” shows up once but not in the context of raising them. “Balanced budget” shows up four times. Boehner 3.0 basically does: Would pave the way for the debt limit to be raised through the 2012 election in two chunks, but it would mandate that the second increase of the debt ceiling could only occur after a balanced budget amendment passed both chambers of Congress and went to the states for ratification. That’s the big difference in Boehner 3.0.
Repeat:

You are right. That is a big difference.
