A guest Wonksplainer from your compatriot, DDM. How does the actual process work where all our monies go to bortions for illegal Messicans who steal jobs from ‘Mericans? Turns out, it’s an archaic, complicated process that can confuse even the Wonkette staff, many of whom have fancy law degrees.
<u>How to balance the budget.</u> Calculate realistic estimates of revenue. Calculate cost of borrowing for long-term capital expenditure like bridges. Divide the revenue between spending needs so as not to exceed revenue. Pass the budget by majority vote.
<u>Republican approach</u> Call for Obama&#039;s impeachment. Pass a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution by 2/3rds super-majority. Have it ratified by 38 states. Do the balanced budget steps above. Have Federal judges rule whether budget was balanced per the Amendment.
2. If you Wonketeers, who are comparatively high-information folks, didn&#039;t already know this, then I guess I&#039;m beginning to understand why things are so fucked up.
Budgets ARE like sausage. As in it is better to not know how they are made.
Re: DDM&#039;s bloggin&#039; skillz - I have grown to expect more juvenile wordplay dick joke type stuff from my Wonkette, and he seems to have this down. Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? You be the judge...
not much butt secks until the end (though nickel butt-fuck night makes up a lot of lost ground), no alt text- points lost there (given how wacky wonket has been lately, only a couple of points), no ponies (jury is still out on whether this adds or costs points) all in all it has a good beat and I could dance to it so I&#039;ll give him an 8.4 on the Richter scale...

Cheers! More Guest Wonkatrixors filling up our intestine tubes with lots of porky meats!

1. Very nice summary.

Well, I suppose you could store your antacids in a Shut the Fuck Up Luke Russert coffee mug...
this wouldn&#039;t have been a problem if those damn commies hadn&#039;t taken away our rotary dials...
it puts the Lotian on its skin...
