The pledge means nothing. Not a single Republican will ever have to be held accountable to a meaningless pledge. You fall far too easily for political ploys. Looking at actual facts when Republicans are in power, they still raise the debt, even if they have control of both houses of Congress and the executive.

- Want to know why Republicans sign Grover Norquist’s anti-tax pledge? Because it helps them win elections. Want to know why the pledge isn’t broken more often? Because breaking it makes them likelier to lose elections — even among voters who support tax increases.
