Hypocrite House Republicans Are Pushing A Balanced Budget Amendment

A wiser man than me once said “Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.”

In news that vaults easily over the huge pile of colorful metaphors it engenders, The Hill tells us that House Republicans are -with straight faces- pushing a balanced budget amendment. That push will come after their latest break … which they surely needed, what with planning on working all of 121 days in total this year.

This days after passing a budget-busting 1.3-trillion dollar omnibus spending bill. Oh, and tax cuts that mostly (almost entirely) benefit the top 1%.

The audacity of hope was inspiring. The audacity of the GOP is sickening.
