Barn Door Fixing Sans Horses

Bennet's empty symbolism:

Sen. Michael Bennet introduced legislation today that would put a statutory cap on the deficit beginning in 2012, forcing Congress to limit its own spending or trigger automatic cuts.

Bennet's bill would require the deficit to be capped at 4 percent of GDP in 2012, then drop to 3 percent every year thereafter. If that goal isn't met, automatic spending cuts would kick in to bring it to that level.

This after he voted in favor of the biggest wastes recently, including the budget increases and stimulus package.
