If the balanced budget amendment had been in place in 2002, where would you get the billions of dollars that have funded the two wars? :shrug:

They want the BBA so they can make unpopular cuts, then cover themselves by protesting that the amendment forced them into doing so. One of them said so overtly on NPR yesterday, remarkably.
Now, once everything was cut and the wars were still costing too much... hmm. Possibly the BBA could be used to justify having to raise taxes, then?
