Every ****ing Republican who stands up and says "we can not restrain our spending"
Every god damned one of them that stands up and says "we can not restrain ourselves from spending without a Constitutional Amendment" dam sure needs to be reminded of this weakness of theirs when they are running in their next election. If they are standing in front of the microphones and cameras telling the world that they are so immature that they can not restrain themselves, particularly with the public's money, then who on earth would vote to bring them back?
Actually, Tommie boy, the Amendment isn't about current spending or the present government at all.
The Amendment is all about keeping a bunch of future "progressives" (or Republicans) from spending the country into bankruptcy. Current Republicans understand that the political pendulum swings both ways. A constitutional amendment is the only way in which to assure some sensible fiscal policy will endure over the years, going forward.
Liberals, of course couldn't tolerate that.........since their entire agenda is all about vote-buying and control over their sorry collection of special interest groups.
