The same Monday President Obama promised he will veto a balanced budget amendment, presidential candidate Michele Bachmann signed the “Cut, Cap, and Balance” pledge during a campaign stop in Columbia, S.C.
“The principles found in this Pledge are a historic step in the right direction toward the fundamental restructuring we need in the way Washington spends taxpayer dollars,” Bachmann said.
Along with her support for the initiative Bachmann added her own personal line to the pledge: the repeal and defunding of Obamacare.
“In signing the Pledge, I am adding a line; I also pledge that along with cutting spending, putting in place enforceable spending caps, and passing a balanced budget amendment, we must repeal and defund Obamacare,” Bachmann said.
“Obamacare is the largest spending and entitlement program in our nation’s history,” she added. “Without its repeal, we cannot have real economic reform.”
Bachmann is the ninth Republican presidential candidate to sign the pledge.
I simply disagree with a balanced budget amendment. It will result in a California mentality of.. oops we are out of money so we must increase taxes, by law. It does not work.
We all know that Obamacare must go. At present we only control,at best,one-third of the debate/budget process.
In the last week Zero has used his mainstream media pals to spin, twist, lie, distort, plus you name it to bump up his standing. Obamacare was passed because the left had all three branches of Gov. The more plans that Reps put out there-the more confused the average Joe gets.
It is Obama’s job to put the damn budget plan out. That is what should be demanded now and it must be in writing. 800 plus days and no budget.
“Sanitarium” can sack it up. Ball game for him is over. He said Senator McCain knew “nothing about enhanced interrogation”. That is such a knee slapping belly laugh !!
