[Hamlette]

Mike Lee was on the teevee saying the GOP had solved the problem with that bill. If so, by how much?

1. It just may be Cut, Crap, and Unbalance.

2. On condition that a balanced budget amendment is passed and sent to the States

In other words, as a practical matter,no.

4. I would bet good money that some of them believe if they pass an

Amendment today it would be added to the Constitution.

5. Well, Matthews got Senator Lee to admit if the balanced budget amend was in effect now it would be

disasterous

6. Mike Lee needs to get a brain. He's the sponsor of CCB.
