Well, that should go way beyond partisanship. If we pass it here by the requisite two-thirds vote and we pass it in the House, which we will, this will be submitted to the States, and then the States can make their determination whether or not we have a balanced budget amendment. The Democrats who hate the balanced budget amendment--some of them; in fact, most of them--all they have to do is get 13 States to defeat it. We have to get 38 States to win. Frankly, we will win this because the American people are with us. And this is the right thing to do. It is the right thing to do at this time. It is the only thing that is going to get us to right this fiscal ship.
