I think the BBA being pushed includes spending caps and a 2/3 majority to raise taxes.

A balanced budget amendment isn't going to get it done it will take years to get the states to pass it.I propose that since spending must originate in the house that each department be reviewed for cuts for example the department of Education 20% cut every year for 5 years,NPR/PBS 50% cuts for 2 years.I think if we have politicians who actually will put their balls on the table we can defund big government in a hurry.I would also tell the democrats and rinos that if we really,really need revenue that badly it's time to start taxing the so called poor,it's theft when only 45% of the population are paying all the taxes pulling the other 55% in the free loader wagon.
