Sorry. Most GOP Senators have them surgically removed, along with their spines, shortly after they get their first committee appointments.

Rand Paul is the only Senator I have heard talk about budget numbers in a serious matter.

[kittymyrib]

Guess he wants Sarah Palin and Michele Bachman to run for Senate.

[Howie66]

I guess that leaves McCain, Cornyn, Snowe, Collins, Graham, Hutchinson out of the mix.

Great interview with Coburn..love it when he says that the GOP have 4-5 senators who are “squishes..”

[ilgipper]

I can never figure out Coburn. He can be so good one day, and totally flaky the next day. In this interview, he mentions not getting mired in the ‘politics’, but the problem is everyone in the opposition is playing games 24/7. Hopefully he is part of a solution with DeMint, Paul, Rubio and Johnson.

Bachmann and Palin in the Senate is a wonderful idea! To date, the GOP’s female senators have been at best moderate and at worst liberal. Having those two remarkable ladies in the GOP Senate caucus wouldn’t certainly stiffen the spines of some of the noodles on that side of the chamber.

The Federal government has managed to balance its budget only five times in 50 years.

"...running up to the brink of a shutdown is no way to operate a government. Last year, Congress failed to send to the President even one of the 12 annual appropriations bills that fund the federal government. That was the first time that has happened since 1974, and another indication of the dysfunctional nature of our budget process."

Snowe (R-Maine) is urging adoption of a proposed Constitutional amendment to balance the budget in order to chart a lasting, fiscally sustainable course for the federal government. Snowe, an ardent supporter and original cosponsor of a balanced budget amendment in this and past Congresses, applauded the unveiling of a consensus amendment based on an earlier version she cosponsored.

“Families and small businesses can’t finance their expenditures simply by increasing their credit limit, and neither should the government. To ensure we never again face a fiscal quagmire anywhere near this magnitude, it is incumbent upon Congress to pass a balanced budget amendment and set the gold standard for fiscal accountability going forward.”

The compromise balanced budget amendment, which Senator Snowe sponsored today, would:

• Require the President to submit a balanced budget annually;
  
• Require Congress pass a balanced budget annually;
  
• Limit Federal government spending to a historical level of
  18 percent of Gross Domestic Product;
  
• Require a supermajority (2/3 vote of both Chambers) to
  increase or impose new taxes;
  
• Require a supermajority (2/3 vote of both Chambers) to
  increase the statutory debt limit;
  
• Become effective the fifth fiscal year after ratification
  by the states.

  “Ours was not intended to be a nation of debtors but one built upon the premise of individual freedom, and the constitutional amendment to balance the budget would help return us to a sustainable path,” said Senator Snowe.
