For eight years, you have been screaming we need a Balanced Budget Ammendment

Now, you control Congress, you have the White House, you have the State Legislatures. You even have the courts. You will never have a better chance to pass the amendment of your dreams.

What are you waiting for?

Yeah this was the battle cry of conservatives for a decade. What happened cons? You give up on this now that YOU will have to give up your pork? Pearls before swine. Come on, call your Congressmen and tell them your number one priority is a balanced budget. Wasn't that the whole reason for forming the Tea Party? Cut taxes, balance the budget (two things that are mutually exclusive by the way), and stop spending?

Oh, you were just kidding. You actually are FOR running up the national debt. Ahhh.
 
Well, with the GOP and Trump both caving in on the budget and funding the government at almost the same levels as what Obama wanted until Sept, kinda shows me that they really don't care about balancing the budget. They just used that as a rally cry to try to stay elected.

But...............by next mid terms, we'll know what they are REALLY about, and there might be a GOP slaughter in 2018.

And most of it will be because of Trump.
 
But....But.....A Balanced Budget Amendment means Republicans can't slash taxes on corporations and the wealthy

They only demand balanced budgets when Democrats are in control
 
Where oh where are our TeaTards?

While Obama was president they stormed Washington demanding a Balanced Budget Amendment

Now that Republicans are calling the shots and they control Congress, the White House, the State Houses and the Courts,,,,there is not a peep out of our Teatards

Oddly quiet now that Republicans are in charge
 
Is this about the budget or the Tea Party? They won the house in 2010 for Republicans. They can't do it all.

What happened to all those Tea Party Republicans in the House?

They were elected on a promise of balancing the budget. Republicans are in control now

Where is the amendment?
 
I believe we've killed sequestration as well. We are well and truly fucked. The only positive I see is there seem to be gopers in the senate with a lot of Trump remorse. Not that I miss Obama or Hillary, but I know the gop brand is dead, and I'd be ok with just a simple econ left of center dem. ... not Bernie Three Houses or Pocohauntus but ... ah hell.

Did Obama ever have budget?

What does that have to do with a balanced budget amendment?

Used to be a high priority with Republicans. Now they don't want to be forced to balance the budget

What happened is that a Republican is now in the White House. Conservatives always do what they bash Democrats for doing.

Here are some words you won't hear much of from the right anymore now that a Republican is president...

  • 95 million people have given up looking for work
  • real unemployment rate
  • national debt
  • Benghazi
  • email
  • labor force participation rate
  • part time jobs
  • the president spends too much traveling
  • golf

The Federal government will NEVER reduce their power and influence

If this is to be done states need to rise up with the Article V movement and impose restrictions on them.

Yeah that's one they screamed about nonstop, 'real unemployment rate'. Now not a peep. Also the national debt, now it's "20 trillion? I spend more than that on cigars a month".

There is no fixing the debt problem this federal government has, it's far too large to ever pay off.
The Federal government has been a banana republic for decades…

Balanced budget amendment? What about a budget that doesn't have bigger deficits than the previous one for a start. Trumps tax plan means bigger deficits, while the idea of a balanced budget amendment sounds like wanting what they're doing to be illegal, but until then, they want to keep on doing it.
