"The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is intrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and, whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will be recalled."

-- George Washington, Letter to Bushrod Washington, November 10, 1787

Right now Reid is laughing his a$$ off. He is sitting there with a drink in hand and thinking that by saying no, Boehner will go back again and give him a little bit more.

By the time this is over, Boehner’s bill wil be the exact replica of the senate bill. Can will get kicked down the road, debt will go up, Obama will be worshipped for his courageousness in standing up to the radical right and the world will go on.

And all the tea party congressmen will get to say yippee that a balanced budget amendment was passed in the house. Gives them something to go back to their people and say they did what they promised.
