My thoughts exactly. Even if a balanced budget amendment were passed, all it would mean would be cuts to the military, as that program is discretionary.

The law would also have to change to eliminate all the social programs as mandatory spending, which currently consumes 60% of the 2015 budget. In 2011, it was 55%.

The only thing a BBA would give us: more slavery.

It does NOTHING to fix the root problems: unconstitutional Fed, unconstitutional entitlements....unconstitutional GOVT. In D.C. speak ‘balanced’ = more taxes, year after year for vote buying.

Nobody wants to bring down the house of cards. No politician in the ring today will answer the simplest of question “By what authority?”. If they’d have to site ‘for what’ their taxes/fees were FOR, it’d show what a fraud the whole system has become

SS/welfare? unconstitutional
HCare? unconstitutional
School? unconstitutional
EPA/TSA? unconstitutional
etc.

I’m still reading my copy to see where the 5th, 9th, 10th and 13th have been superseded for ANY of the above....Never have known a CLAUSE to negate the whole.
