Who Supports Real Budget Reform?

Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) introduced two major budget reforms today: S.2990, a one-year moratorium on earmarks and, S.J.Res. 27, a Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment that includes a two-thirds majority requirement for raising taxes. DeMint is calling on his Republicans colleagues to lead by example and cosponsor both of these important measures.
