This has all been kaboki theatre. Until there is transformative changes in the US budget (entitlement reform and tax reform), nothing has been done that matters. A balanced budget ammendment could be a tool used to force transformative changes but, apparently no likes that idea.

In any case, the Tea Party folks got as much as they possibly could have got, so I give them credit. They moved the ball forward an inch and now we only have 10 more miles to go

I hope seriousness of the Tea Party is something the voters appreciate and want more of and not something they decide to kill off next election.

Either America is going to get its fiscal house in order or it the fiscal house will collapse and it’s that simple. In my opinion in this process, Obama was clueless, the GOP was a bit too chaotic (I’ll give them a pass since there were many rookies involved), and the senate simply protected the stauts quo.

Hang in there everyone! Keep supporting fiscal conservatives where ever you find them. By the way, libs can be fiscal conservatives too—even though we may disagree philosophically with them—and we may start to see more of them since the tax and spend type libs are being pushed out—hopefully. My point is a liberal with a calculator is better than a liberal with a credit card. Keep pounding the drum of smaller lesser intrusive government.

Bears repeating. Time to sweep the Senate of the Mitch McConnell's......
