Perhaps then we should have an amendment to limit government spending to remain at or below a certain percentage of the GDP. Any revenue taken in that goes above that amount due to fluctuations in the economy should either be returned to the taxpayer or put in a rainy day fund for when revenues received do not meet the funding requirements.
Now you're talking. The Leftists, who would love to pass a "balanced budget amendment", would run the other way on a SPENDING LIMITATION AMENDMENT.
Can you imagine any Dem voting for that? He's probably get kicked out of the Party. Be hard to get the votes for that.
