Over at Downsizing the Federal Government, we focused on the following issues this past week:

• I argue that we don’t need a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution.
• Thoughts on the “Tea Party Budget.”
• The 21^st Century Postal Service Act would keep the U.S. Postal Service stuck in the 20^th century.
• If Congress is intent on cutting payroll taxes, it should do so within the context of long‐​run fiscal reforms.
• Republicans who say they want smaller government should walk the talk by introducing legislation that would eliminate agencies and programs.
