Reply #6: The only reason...

[OneAngryDemocrat]

The only reason "bad checks" (you're unapplicable analogy, Ragnarok), were written in the first place was because the GOP drained the account - not because the funds weren't ever there.

Your elitist "the people aren't smart enough to vote wisely" point of view isn't appreciated one bit.

The people deserve the government they vote for.

If they vote for a government that drains the coffers with deficit growing tax-cuts, then so be it.

That is still no reason to hamstring a more responsible future Congress.

You make a compelling argument, sir, for voting more wisely - but NOT for a balanced budget amendment.
