Limbaugh.com: Louie Gohmert Dissects the Deal

Note: Actually, we're the ones getting dissected, folks.

• we have automatic increases in every agency's budget in the federal government. Every agency has automatic increases every year.
• For example, the stimulus bill has now been added to the baseline. [emphasis mine]
• we know that in out years anything beyond one or two years from where we are right now is not likely to happen
• the Bush tax cuts expire in January 2013. I mean we could fight, but this presumes that they go out of existence  [emphasis mine]
• And the federal budget automatically goes up every year. It's the dirty little secret of Washington.
• there's no enforcement unless the OMB director starts -- files a sequestration report. Now, call me cynical but suppose the OMB director is a very good friend of the president and the president just says, "'Eh, don't issue a report." There's no enforcement mechanism [emphasis mine]
• GOHMERT: That's why we needed a Balanced Budget Amendment in the Constitution so these games can't be played.

Yes, but not just any Balanced Budget Amendment.  Given the way these guys negotiate, I wouldn't bet that the right kind of amendment got out of Congress presuming one ever does.

Last November, people voted for change in the way Washington works.  Well, it doesn't look like anything has changed at all.  If anything, things are worse.
