With undecideds and a lean pro-tax minority, experts warn that relying on reserves or future cuts will worsen next year’s budget pressures including pensions and transportation.

Conservatives back the idea, arguing spending is a legislative prerogative, while others fear a constitutional clash and court involvement in a politically sensitive issue. The amendment plan awaits floor discussion.
Charley Reese argues the United States wastes $1 billion weekly and 1,700 lives in Iraq for dubious aims. He questions WMD claims, accuses officials of fixing intelligence, and urges Congress to cut off funds to force withdrawal. He warns a permanent U.S. presence risks a new dictator and stresses better use of resources for Americans.
Sean Carter reflects on the Kelo v New London decision, arguing the court deferred to public officials on what is a public use.
