I don't like the bill much myself BUT I think we have to face the fact that there simply aren't enough fiscal conservatives in the Senate to vote for a responsible measure. There won't be until 2012 and that's if the people of America actually pay attention to things between now and then. That's a big "if". For right now, I understand that conservatives had to compromise in order to get some sort of solution passed. I firmly believe that the balanced budget amendment will pass and to me that's a huge victory. It had to come at some sort of cost.
