Debt Limit Battle has been Fought Before

Thank you Barbara Anderson for reminding us how important term limits can be not only for a President but for the elected sent to Washington to do the people's work and instead become part of the problem and not part of the solution.


In the mid-'90s, the House actually passed the National Taxpayer Union's federal Balanced Budget constitutional amendment. It failed in the Senate by just one vote; that would be Sen. John Kerry's. Remember that as you hear him bemoaning the current debt ceiling crisis: It's his fault.
