for fuck’s sake.

All tax revenue happens at rates decided upon and passed by the House. All expenditures are pursuant to appropriation bills that originate in the House. If the House really wants a no-deficit budget… write one and pass it, then send it to the Senate for consideration. (may I remind them, the Paul Ryan budget they passed added another $5T in deficit spending before eventually workings its way back down to balance in ten years or so).
