"Balancing the Budget in Ten Years" is punting, not dealing with the probalem at all. No congress can bind succeeding congresses and thie budget and its continuing progress will be all undone in the very next congress. If the job is to be eond it must be done THIS year. Then perhaps the example will be followed through on in the next congress. Not doing it this year will be followed by supplemental appropriations this year and next year and full on abandonment in the following congress. Anything like a ten year target is just abandoning the problem and being smug about it.

A balanced budget in ten years is certainly better than the Obama budget that NEVER balances. I like the Cruz approach: "When they offer half a loaf, take it. Then come back for more".

What's YOUR plan for achieving a balanced budget THIS year?
