Why no Balanced Budget Amendment?

[rightwinger]

During eight years of President Obama, Republicans screamed that we needed a Balanced Budget Amendment.

Now that they control the courts and three branches of government, they never mention it anymore

The new fiscal year starts on Sunday.....where is that balanced budget Republicans promised us?

 

[rightwinger]

Since Trump was elected, our debt has grown to a record $20.2 trillion and our annual deficit has grown to $691 billion

Why haven't Republicans done anything about it?

You’re right.
DC insiders need to be evicted.

And it’s not Oct 1.

because the old rule holds true. The Democrats are the Bullshit Party, and Republicans continue to be the Stupid Party.

I seem to recall a couple of Republicans submitting a balanced budget bill a few days after the apprentice assumed the throne.

Yeah. Here it is. Lee and Grassley.

Sens. Lee, Grassley Introduce Balanced Budget Amendment | United States Congress | United States Government

Since it is a constitutional amendment, it is almost short enough to read even for a Trump voter.

Aren't they raising the debt ceiling? Repubs have owned the purse strings for years...

Record debt, record health insurance bills. But at least rich people are making a killing in the stock market!

Our "leaders" need to be able to spend like a 16-year girl with daddy's Gold Card to get campaign contributions.

We can't take away their #1 priority.

Look, man. Those other Congress critters spend too much on PORK, but my guy brings home the BACON.

Congress has single digit approval, and a 98 percent re-election rate.

Go figure.

It's those damned Mexicans, man. They stole that $20 trillion in hubcaps. And all we got in trade was a bunch of dope and legitimately raped white women who can't get pregnant with anchor babies.

What do you mean I should look in the mirror for the cause of America's problems?

 

[rightwinger]

So, Republicans have just passed their budget through the House and it has close to a trillion dollar deficit


What ever happened to that Balanced Budget Amendment?

$20 trillion in debt and the Republican solution is to build a wall

Don't forget the tax cuts for the rich.

 

[rightwinger]

Come on Republicans....fess up

You only wanted that Balanced Budget Amendment to apply to Obama
