Wait until the Tea Party TRILLIONS in cuts...hit the economy...at the Federal State and Local level...
UNEMPLOYMENT AND LAY OFFS WILL SOAR... Not just among Evil Unionized Government Workers...but in the private firms that do government contracts...
How can you take a trillion out of the economy can not effect employment...and consumption...!!
ITS NUTS...
And the so called Balanced Budget Amendment is more of the same lunacy...
The Amendment would put the US economy on the same status level as a local school board...!
And it would effectively OUTLAW ANY KEYNESIAN STIMULUS...FOREVER...!
Unless and until the Teabaggers come up with a replacement for Keynesian Economics...that works...the OUTLAWING if Keynes would be a disaster...
Best yet...I don't think the states would pass the amendment... They know that in hard times the Federal Government and its printing press...is their Sugar Daddy...!
Why would the states want to freeze the ability of Washington to handle economic policy in times of crisis? ...and put Washington on the same level as the local school board which can not print money or set international trade policy...
More idiocracy from your clowns at Fox...!
