Quote: Beginning in October, the bill would cut more than $100 billion in federal spending. Now, all the budget plans under discussion contain large spending cuts, but none of them start right away, because even the most aggressive budget cutters recognize that this economy cannot sustain the withdrawal of close to 1% of gross domestic product without going from bad to worse.

Cuts don't begin right away typical liberal dim-wit-ocrat never do today what you can put off till tomorrow. Cuts today bad, removing 1% of GDP by taxing...taxing...taxing is good.

Quote:By dint of its annual spending caps, it would take away the ability of the federal government to respond to recessions through policies that offset the contraction of private-sector demand. Unemployment insurance, medical coverage, nutritional programs -- none of these would be able to expand to offset the downturn.

IF America is a true free market society gubment has NO F*ING business making policies to "FIX" the market when the private sector contracts. But dim-wit-ocrats don't want free market they want socialist market.

Quote:This is a particular problem because states already must balance their budgets, even in recession, so we need a higher level of government to be unbound by this restriction. Think of a recession as being in a boat that's taking on water where only one person -- but a person with a very big bucket -- can bail DRILL -- CAN BORE HOLES, while 50 others just sit there without any buckets DRILLS at all. A balanced-budget amendment takes away the big guy's bucket DRILL, too. Which sinks KEEPS the boat A FLOAT

Had to make a few edits to the dim-wit-ocrat's analogy.
