Explanation

Why Are They Now? - On deficits, Republicans in Congress haven't just changed their minds - they've lost their brains. By Michael Kinsley

There are plenty of available reasons to explain why someone might have voted for the famous Contract With America in 1995, including a constitutional amendment mandating a balanced federal budget, and why today that same someone is an enthusiastic backer of President Bush's tax-cut proposal, which will take a $300 billion-plus budget deficit and push it higher. "Those pills are finally kicking in," might be one such explanation.

'nuff said.
