COLUMBIA, S,C, (AP) — U.S. Sen Lindsey Graham returned to where his political career started to ask South Carolina lawmakers to pass a proposal amendment to the U.S. Constitution to require a balanced federal budget.
Graham said Tuesday that states need to put pressure on the U.S. House and Senate to stop them from spending more money than they take in.
“It would limit the federal government's desire to be everything to everybody," the Republican senator said in the second floor lobby of the Statehouse, just steps from where his political career began as a South Carolina House member.“
Snip
“It's time for our country to demand our federal government stop their irresponsible spending," said Lucas, a Republican from Hartsville.“

Why not just do a balance first?
Show us how it’s done Linda!
I would amend his amendment by also forcing a pay down of the deficit until you are no longer running deficits which then would segue into actual debt repayment.
That’s what I’d like to see.
Red meat for his brain dead voters who re-elected him TWICE after THREE amnesty votes.
Better idea: pick ten extra-Consitutional cabinet level agencies and close them completely and permanently.
Congratulations to Joe and Jill Biden, and the entire Biden team, on the well deserved big win in the #SCDemocraticPrimary. Best of luck in the future.#Socialism goes down

“stop them from spending more money than they take in. “
No problem, they will just raise taxes.
There is -nothing- as bold as a Republican who knows he has zero chance to pass something. LOL
.
This Carnival barker rates up there with Biden.
Which is why he wanted Biden as President,
.
Linda needs to retire...now.
Graham for balanced budget....
News story from Michigan:
It’s 14 degrees but has been a lot colder lately.
Hell has frozen over, the tiny Michigan town in the dead of winter. HELL, MI - It’s not officially winter in Michigan until Hell freezes over. The water flowing through the dam has officially frozen in Hell, the tiny Michigan town located about 20 minutes northwest of Ann Arbor.
I had to check again. . .Lindsey’s term ends in 2027. Perhaps he is thinking they would make him Senate Majority Leader. Ol Mitch has been in his seat since 1985. 37 long years.
Linda is running for President.
His plan is to rake in lots of money and then do a McCain.
You know how you comply with balanced budget?
Tax Revenues $1 Trillion
Spending ($10 Trillion)
Borrow $9 Trillion
Doesn’t he say that every time he’s up for re-election?
Every. Single. Time?
