Dear TEA Party idiot
Jul. 30th, 2011 02:08 pm You asked: "I want somebody to explain to me what's wrong with a Balanced Budget Amendment"..."
Well, I know you're not listening to me, but I'll kick off with a few "common sense" reasons which you might understand.
1 - You actually never know when you'll need to have more money. If you can't raise money and go into debt for something essential, you can't run a household, a business and especially not a country.... it's basically Sahriah economics... and we *know* how you feel about that
2 - Very few organizations or households actually do run a balanced budget. You buy houses, cars, education, you take out loans to get things which you can't just save up for and so forth
3 - Tying the hands of future generations is asinine - what works for you might not work for them
Oh and finally, DOCTOR Paul - did you pay cash for your medical degree - if you did, you're a lucky git.
