Balanced Budget Amendment fails in House

Unlike 1995 when the Amendment passed the House with the support of 72 Democrats, only 25 Democrats voted for the Amendment this time. Democrats are obviously much more liberal than they were in the mid 1990s. From the AP:

The 261-165 vote was 23 short of the two-thirds majority needed to advance a constitutional amendment. Democrats, swayed by the arguments of their leaders that a balanced budget requirement would force Congress to make devastating cuts to social programs, overwhelmingly voted against it.
Four Republicans joined the Democrats in opposing the measure. . . .
The House passed a similar measure in 1995, with the help of 72 Democrats. That year, the measure fell one vote short of passing the Senate. This year, only 25 Democrats supported the proposal. . . .
