America is facing a debt crisis that is unprecedented in our history. It hinders economic recovery, threatens our national security, and promises to limit freedom and opportunity for our children and grandchildren, while leaving them with a lower standard of living. It is not an exaggeration to say that, in many ways, Washington is engaged in an act of generational theft. Let there be no mistake, we have a debt crisis because Washington spends too much, not because the American people are taxed too little. The federal budget continues to grow way beyond inflation and way beyond the family budget’s ability to pay for it. Left unchecked and unreformed over the course of the next generation, the size and scope of government will double. Time is running out to put the nation on a desperately-needed new fiscal path. We must quit spending money we do not have. We must quit borrowing 42 cents on the dollar, much of it from the Chinese, and sending the bill to our children and grandchildren. Unfortunately, the Budget Control Act of 2011 by itself fails to accomplish this. Despite passage of this bill, we regrettably continue the pattern of borrowing money we do not have - and because of the president's unwillingness to truly cut spending - it represents a huge lost opportunity for our nation. Yet it contains one vitally important provision that caused me to support it, namely a provision compelling both houses of Congress to vote on a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. In other words, the act contains the key to the ultimate solution to the nation's debt crisis. The act does not provide a guaranteed outcome to the vote, only a fighting chance for the American people to have their voices heard in what is perhaps the seminal debate of our time. The stakes could not be any higher for our nation and our future. Every family in America has to balance their budget, as does every small business. In total, 46 of 50 states have some type of provision in law requiring a balanced budget. Shouldn't a great nation be expected to balance its budget? Maybe the absence of a balanced budget amendment is the primary reason we find ourselves $14 trillion in debt. It has been 16 years since Congress last voted on a balanced budget amendment. It passed the House of Representatives, but failed by one vote in the Senate and thus was never sent to the states for ratification. Imagine where we would be today as a nation had we been successful then: debt free with a robust economy, plenty of jobs, and hope for the next generation. We must seize this moment, and the Budget Control Act of 2011 allows us to do just that. Without it, another 16 years may pass before Congress would act on its own to vote on a balanced budget amendment. We cannot wait that long. We cannot take that chance.

HARD FACTS on Debt Ceiling.....
BUDGET CONTROL ACT AMENDMENT
If Republicans led by Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell fall for the deal with the Democrats aiming for bigger spending cuts in two separate deals and opt to raise the debt ceiling past 2012 election, it means spend now cut spending later. How do you know the next congress will go along with the cuts..what this congress does the next one can repeal it. The next President can refuse to sign any cuts.
I have perused the entire bill and below are a few of my observations..

1.  It is only 74 pages, every congress doesn't have an excuse not to read it.

2. A new Congress or the Current Congress members can change anything that is dated after 2012 .

3. Amendments to existing laws, means you have to read the existing law to know to compare to what is actually taking place.

4. The joint committee has equal membership for minority and the majority party in both chambers in effect until January 31 2012. In time for the election season.

5. Some items in the bill that seem to affect the standing rules of the senate, may not be considered constitutional.

6. The Balanced budget Amendment line here calls for a vote, from all indications it is going to be DOA in the Senate. It doesn't include the 2/3 trigger necessary for such an amendment to be accepted.

7. The most critical decision here will be the makeup of the Joint Committee, Those appointments will be where push will come to shove on who is best suited to be on Joint Committee.
Debt Ceiling bill is only 74 pages..Read below..

DEBT CEILING BILL

Today's discussions focus on triggers which would automatically impose cuts in programs near and dear to both party's hearts --
Medicare for the Democrats and Defense of the Republicans --
if the spending cuts are not realized. But these triggers mean next to nothing.
What a Congress passes, another Congress can repeal. One can easily see Congress not coming to agreement on the second wave of cuts and then passing a resolution to suspend the trigger-mandated cuts.
The blunt fact is that once the debt limit is raised until after the election, Obama can get out of town and not worry anymore. He won't make any cuts.
We'll get the cuts we are implementing right now -- about a trillion over ten years -- and no more. But there is a trigger which can work -- the budget itself. If the Continuing Resolution passed in the spring was battle one (which Obama won) and the debt limit was battle two (which the GOP has won), the budget for 2011-12 is battle three.
The Republicans should refuse to pass a budget but just pass a new Continuing Resolution funding the government through January 1, 2012. If the recommendations of the spending cut commission are not passed or some other cuts have not replaced them, the House should refuse to extend the Continuing Resolution and should trigger a government shutdown. The looming threat of a shutdown will terrify Obama and will force his hand just as the debt limit has done. We have gotten half a loaf in this current battle over the debt. Let's not disarm until we win the rest of it. What we haven't gotten in the debt deal, we can get in the budget deal. That's the trigger which will work. Read More: Dick Morris
