.@jbouie @ThePlumLineGS Gov still takes in money. It just won't be able to borrow to cover everything. So it will have to prioritize.
@ThePlumLineGS @jbouie @SenLeeComs Actually, if GOP wants to win argument on this, proposing specific cuts might be necessary.

@DavidMDrucker@ThePlumLineGS@jbouie 3 Senators proposed budgets that balanced last year. Why do y'all act like that stuff doesn't happen? -
@SenLeeComs It's hard to take this deficit angst seriously when it's accompanied by such fervent opposition to rate hikes on super rich. -
.
@ThePlumLineGS rate hikes on super rich don't address deficit. Tax extenders in the first year cost more than than what new taxes raise -
@SenLeeComs not by themselves, but as part of a broader solution. -
.
@ThePlumLineGS That better be really broad then. O's budget w/ tax hikes adds $11T to debt over 10yrs. -
@SenLeeComs does your boss support eliminating debt ceiling? -
.
@ThePlumLineGS I'll ask, but presumably we wouldn't need one if we had an effective spending restraint like a BBA, right? -
@SenLeeComs sorry, didn't realize your reform included BBA. Ds shldnt give anything in return for debt ceil hike. Its not a concession by Rs
