    <summary>Its déjà vu all over again as House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) released a proposed budget blueprint for FY 2013 and proposed legislative language for a budget resolution.

    <summary>Congressional Republicans will soon try to pass an amendment that they claim will fairly balance the budget as the result of a constitutional mandate. In reality, the Balanced Budget Amendment will force cuts that are deep enough to nearly destroy Medicare, Medicaid, and low-income programs. The amendment also makes it nearly impossible to raise revenues. There is NO balance in this Balanced Budget Amendment.  </summary>
