Time for Congress to Enact a Balanced Budget Amendment

[SenatorOrrinHatch]

@scfloyd1 Senator Hatch has been advocating for a Balanced Budget Amendment for almost 30 years. He has sponsored or co-sponsored 24 of the proposals, including two that almost passed (failing by 1 vote in the Senate). -Staff

My question is what took politicians so long to come up with an idea of having a constitutional amendment? Our country has always been in debt, except for the time when Bill Clinton and congress balanced the budget. This is nothing more than one party trying to get over another party by looking fiscally responsible. When Bush took over, he invaded a country that had nothing to do with 9-11 (Iraq) which cost our country trillions of dollars. Then invaded Afghanistan, another waste.

The United States, Democrat Socialist Party, do not want a balanced budget, they want to tax the hell out of everyone ,,, especially businesses that employee people. And for what purpose? POWER & CONTROL over all US Citizens.
