It's stupid and pointless flag waiving


Well, aside from matters of economic philosophy and the role of overspending during economic down cycles and other emergencies...

“It’s got a loophole you can drive a truck through," Massie said referring to the provision that would allow three-fifths of both the House and Senate vote to waive the amendment.

So if you have the 60 votes to pass the bloated budget over a Senate filibuster, you've also got the 60 votes to waive the balanced budget bill. It's a nonsense bill being pushed by politicians who want to parade around talking about how they are trying to do something without actually doing anything at all.
