[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

The reason to have a vote on the BBA even if it will not pass is to demonstrate the actual position of the Dems to voters who will then elect conservatives who will support and pass it.

Actually, twenty Democrat Senators are on record as saying they would vote for a Balanced Budget Amendment.

47 Repubs + 20 Democrats = 67 votes, the required 2/3 majority.

Of course, Democrats have been known to lie...

Right. As I said all along. Nothing but political posturing for the next election. Worthless and meaningless.

So, politically, do you think a vote for a meaningless doomed fake balanced budget amendment is really going to help politicians who just voted to borrow and spend trillions more?

What percentage of real regular folks who consider themselves part of the Tea Party in any way supported any raise in the debt ceiling?
