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.
