Exactly. The tax-and-spend statists would love nothing more than having a constitutional excuse like a balanced budget amendment to squeeze ever increasing revenue from the middle class.
I'd wager that Genius Jeb didn't think that far. Or did he?

In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush makes the case that the incoming Republican administration should set the agenda by calling for a constitutional convention to establish term limits, a balanced budget amendment and restrictions on the Commerce Clause.
Bush asserts that the 2016 election was largely a protest vote over the growth and power of the central government and that Republicans have a rare chance to shift some of that power back to the states.

Take a hike Jeb.

(I really wanted the results of an elephant parade.)
Because people like Jeb will turn it to their DC political class desired

Burn in hell jeb!
