Let's hope that some enterprising local reporter has the guts to ask: What's so "balanced" about putting the screws to Americans by raising taxes -- including the middle and working classes -- so that the federal government doesn't have to cut back at all?
After all, wouldn't a truly "balanced" approach require the government to cut somewhere else to balance out the $700 billion budget deficit that will result from ObamaCare (which Americans didn't even want -- and still don't) and to compensate for the unprecedented spending spree Obama has engaged in since taking office?
