Judd Gregg: “The next amendment in order, I believe, is the amendment of the Senator from Georgia. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Thune).…”

The classic example of this is ObamaCare. It was pushed through on a partisan vote.

I think the appropriate way to approach this is to set the size of the government as a percent of GDP.

Why would we do it? Because it makes no sense, from the standpoint of policy.

Had it been actually a legislative vehicle versus a commission, we probably would be out of the woods right now on our deficit and debt issues.
