We know that a good strong Congress could achieve quite a bit of this, in order to make our Government stronger and live within its means.

The Balanced Budget act has strong support in the States, with 28 States asking for a Constitutional Convention for the Amendment. http://www.sweetliberty.org/standing_calls.htm
