- Get elected as a tax & spend socialist? Check
- Don't have a budget for a couple of years? Check
- Run right up on the last minute for debt limit increase? Check
- Totally fail to increase debt limit by demanding things the other guys refuse to grant?
- Be limited "by no fault of your own" to only what taxes the government takes in?
Automatically-balanced budget, by design, and nobody loses political capitol! It's really quite brilliant. Democrats can point the finger at Republicans for refusing to get rid of tax breaks. Republicans can point the finger at Democrats for wanting to increase taxes on employers of The Working Man. The President can shrug and look innocent. AND we get a balanced budget! Oh, plus the Treasury just keeps on cutting those benefit checks whether it's legal and we have the money or not, and they can call it a 0% interest loan on paper. Who loses!?
