When was that?
Could something like that even work?
Dems would support one that automatically increases taxes on ‘the wealthy’
‘97 I think, so long ago now. The RINO no vote was Hatfield of Oregon. It originated in the Senate I believe so the House never voted on it.
It would be hard to pass, but I’d not call it impossible.
As to whether it would work, that is the question. Every version I’ve seen gives Congress the power to set it aside and allow a deficit if “a declaration of war is in effect” or by 3/5s vote of both Houses. You could drive a truck through the former exemption, the war on terror is ever going on after all.
A line item veto amendment might be helpful.
