Terrible.

The BBA is a way to raise your taxes and fees BIG TIME. They won’t cut, they will use the political cover of an amendment to raise taxes.

What, you suddenly think they will become responsible? They claim to even need this amendment to force them to be responsible.

No. The BBA is a terrible idea. BBA = taxed to death. Better hope this thing NEVER passes.

So, if the BBA is a terrible idea, what is the best way to balance the budget ( or are you saying that we can never do it ?)

It depends on the text of the amendment.

The one linked to "Cut, Cap & Balance" required 2/3rd approval for tax hikes, the same supermajority required to override a presidential veto.
