"In short, this is quite possibly the stupidest constitutional amendment I think I have ever seen. It looks like it was drafted by a couple of interns on the back of a napkin. Every senator cosponsoring this POS should be ashamed of themselves." Bruce Bartlett on the new balanced budget amendment
All 47 Senate Republicans co-sponsored this amendment and they're holding the debt ceiling hostage until they're able to pass this hunk of shitola.
Why is anyone taking them seriously anymore? They're flailing and kneejerking and attempting to legislate absolute nonsense. I mean, it's not even conservative policy, which would be bad enough -- it's just utter silliness and fantasy.
