This week M&M talk again with IBD’s senior earth-vexing varlet Terry Jones to biopsy the latest monthly IBD poll. (Historically among the nation’s most accurate, btw.)

For another, the more Americans learn about ObamaCare, the less they like it. Obama never has to run again, you say. True, but his party does in the ’14 midterms, just 18 months away. And the Senate is up for grabs.

Patriot Room Radio: Interview with Sen. Mike Lee, 2/3/11

clyde — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 21:42:21 +0000

Just completed an interview (with a few other bloggers) with Sen. Mike Lee. Ran about 20 minutes. Catch the full audio below.

Sen. Lee was pimping his Balanced Budget Amendment. It’s still being drafted, but has the following provisions:

The budget must be drafted as balanced each year;
Spending cannot exceed 18% of GDP for the previous year; and
A 2/3s majority of both chambers needs to approve any deficit spending, any increase in the debt ceiling, and any increase in government revenue (taxes, etc.)

Once ratified by the states – first hurdle is 2/3s of the Senate and House, and then out to 3/4s for the state legislatures – the phase-in period is two years. He’s not looking to bypass Congress through a state-called Constitutional Convention. He believes that if enough momentum is generated that the threat of it may be enough.

Over the next few weeks he’ll work out differences with Sen. Hatch’s competing Amendment, which Sen. Lee maintains is too easy to bypass with a simple-majority suspension vote.

He had no answer for how – to grab an example – the $852 billion deficit forecast for FY14 would be achieved. ”Good question,” he said. Um, ouch?

Expect to have a Republican-pushed Balanced Budget Amendment in the Congress perhaps as early as the end of March.

If you’re interested, here’s another interview with then-candidate Lee from CPAC last here.

Interview with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)

clyde — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 21:18:18 +0000

I just completed an interview (along with a few more bloggers) with Sen. Rand Paul. The initial focus was his bill to eliminate $500 billion in federal spending in the next year alone. Details on his proposal are here. Department of Energy – gone. Department of Education – a shadow of its present self. Good stuff.

He’s not stopping there. He’ll have a proposal for both Medicare and Social Security in about two weeks. The focus seems to be raising the age for younger Americans to avoid drastic increases in contribution rates. Those under 55, he said, have time to prepare for a few extra years before SS kicks in. I’ll talk to him further about that – I’ll be 52 in a few weeks.

In my second question, I asked about coal and the new regs being written right now. My source data is here and here.

Enjoy.
