My personal solution, which I wish the President would do, but won’t, is the veto every spending bill until we have a balanced budget. It won’t work because there would be too much pain for Congress to accept and they would eventually override the veto.

My next best personal solution is to have enough states to call an Article 5 convention and pass three measures: Term Limits, Balanced Budget (with teeth), and repeal of 17th Amendment.

We’ll have a socialist government before any of that happens. Yes, I’m a pessimist.

Base line budgeting needs to stop. Continuing resolutions need to stop. Term limits, balanced budgets, etc. All for it. How long have we been saying this? Pessimism? What is that? /s

He could begin by submitting a balanced budget.
