Yet again, I need to stress that the Secretary is speaking as the Senator that introduced this measure, not as a member of my Cabinet.

I cannot imagine anything vaguely resembling this Bill that I would be comfortable signing.

Do you regard this an "an inconveniance"?

An 'inconveniance'? ... no. An 'inconvenience'? eh, not really. The Secretary knows where I stand on this Bill. I respect his differing view on these matters, and he knows I don't support flat-taxes.

I respect this bill and would vote for it out of principle- but you've just seen the President put forward a bill that RAISES taxes for somethign hardly critical to the peoples' well-being so I doubt we'll get anywhere with this

Note that I reduced and streamlined taxes on small businesses and reduced low and middle-income personal taxes in my first term.

I'd appreciate some context before you paint me with a brush on one colour.

I don't oppose reducing taxation, but since it's based around a flat-tax, which I think is reckless and fiscally irresponsible, no way I'm going to support that.

Is there a balanced budget amendment in Atlasia?

Not to my knowledge and I would never support such a measure.

Why not?

There are times when short-term deficit spending is appropriate. I'm not going to support a measure which would cut programs solely to meet an arbitrary target.
