		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve probably seen the proposal for the supposed Balanced Budget Amendment around the net. It sounds wonderful, doesn&#8217;t it? We could finally rein in government spending, get rid of the deficit, maybe even start paying down the national debt. If only that were so. Ever read the real thing? It&#8217;s a pile of crap, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cortillaen.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5357096&amp;post=163&amp;subd=cortillaen&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
