Last Friday, I was on CNN's Out Front with Erin Burnett, talking about the "Honest Budget Act," which is being pushed by Sens. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine). The HBA would make some modest improvements on the flim-flammery that goes on in the federal budget process but is best understood as precisely the sort of b.s. legislation that Congress wastes its time (and our money) with rather than address real issues. Like, you know, actually passing a goddamned budget in the first place.

About 4 minutes.
