Would you support this idea on the Debt Limit and Balanced Budget?

In the reality that is divided government, both sides have to get something. So, how about this ...

Democrats get the "Elimination of a Debt Ceiling" and thus the need to vote to raise the limit.

Republicans get what 49 of 50 states already have, a Constitutional Balanced Budget Amendment.

A balanced budget amendment will be used to raise taxes as much as they want. It is a terrible idea in our government.

Much less retarded than massive deficit spending during good economic times and bad, which is what we do now.

that'll let even republicans go, "sorry, gotta do it, hanRAB are tied. you wanted balanced budgets, this is the only way we can do it" when it is something they want to be funded.

When is the last time we were attacked by another country?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that would be Pearl Harbor.

The world learned their lesson after that.

If we only entered wars after we were attacked, a big part of our debt mess would've been avoided over the past decade.
