Sorry Bucko, the Prez is not a member of Congress so how can he introduce any
bill?  He has to do it though a Senator or Representative.  He can @b(ONLY)
influence the members of Congress until the bill is on his desk to be signed
or vetoed.

But they had a smaller deficit than after the Congress got its hands on it.
Did the Democratic House ever produce a deficit free version?

But, Ladies, Gentlemen, and childish liberals of all ages, we do seem to be
straying from the subject, not so much where should we point the finger but
can we place a cap on this deficit with a balanced budget amendment?
Actually, most versions of this amendment has had so many loopholes in it
that at best it was a joke.

Well, Toddie-pooh, what are your thoughts?

Cuomo?  Ha.  Make my day!
