@kairyssdal They know exactly how, they just don’t actually want to balance the budget. They want to say that they do and then use that as a cudgel for cutting things they don’t like. It’s been like this for decades and framing it as bumbling cluelessness is a disservice to everyone.

@kairyssdal The usual GOP position:"Of course, deficits could be narrowed by focusing on the other side of the ledger — that is, by increasing tax revenue. But Republicans have ruled that out, too.Instead they’re proposing more tax cuts, which they have tacitly admitted might worsen deficits."

@kairyssdal the last time we had a balanced budget it was under a Democrat: Bill Clinton.

@kairyssdal Like "winning" the abortion battle, they are afraid of actually cutting the budget. It just makes a good talking point. Like Nixon running for president twice on a platform of ending the Vietnam war.
