Chris Pandolfo at Conservative Review reports:
Fresh off of passing
a 2,232-page monstrosity of an omnibus bill that spent $1.3 trillion,
House Republicans now say they want to take up a balanced budget amendment
(BBA) when they return from recess.
. .
.
So
what’s really going on here is that after fundamentally betraying conservatives
in the omnibus bill, Republican leadership figures they have to pretend like
they’re fighting for conservative principles so that GOP voters show up in
November and they can keep their majorities. They’ll vote on the balanced
budget amendment, it will fail, and they’ll turn to you and say, “See, we need
more Republicans up here in the swamp; otherwise, we’ll never get the things
you want done. There are just too many Democrats.”
It’s all Kabuki theater. The rest of the report is here.
