  • 218 Congressman or 41 Senators can stop any spending , period... an Amendment isn't needed !!

  • A Balanced Budget Amed = U.S. will NEVER be able to wage war again. So thats why RepBullKrapiCon$ moved their businesses to China.

    Revolutionary War DEFECIT & $1.5M from France, War of 1812 DEFECIT, Civil War DEFECIT, WWI DEFECIT WWII DEFECIT Korea DEFECIT Vietnam DEFECIT Gulf 1 DEFECIT Iraq DEFECIT Afghanistan DEFECIT Dont Pea Party on my Leg and tell me its raining!! Crack open a book, yes yes RepBullKrapiCons are Anti-Education so you'll just smoke FOX's crack

  • How can you balance the budget when George Bush started the Iraq war.

  • I support a balanced budget amendment. I have to balance my budge at home and believe that the federal government should have to balance their budget. After all, isn't it my tax money?

  • I've yet to hear the plan to handle War Powers Act conflicts, or national weather emergencies that blow the current budget. A business would either build a reserve (like a savings account) to handle crises as they come up, or increase borrowing in the current year (blowing the budget), and planning over the next couple of years to get back to the black.

    What is Sue's position on dealing with unexpected budget busting events with the Balanced Budget Amendment in place?

  • Sue is right on this. I cannot run my household on borrowed money..... at least not for long. Unless we do something, the debt ceiling will continue to rise until we have no option but to default. While we can affect this behavior, we need to act and enourage our friends and neighbors to do so, as well. Let's Balance the Budget, bite the bullet, and leave a legacy of fiscal responsibility to future generations.

  • A Balanced Budget Amendment is financial suicide. If the US had been forced to balance its budget in 2008/2009, it would have sent us into a Depression greater than the 1930's. Fight a war? Forget about it - don't have the money. Send a man to the Mars? - let the Chinese do it. A balanced budget amendment is the quickest way to abdicate our leadership role in the world. Somehow, Sue, you and the rest who got us in this situation are going to have to find a way out that does not destroy us too.

  • Amen Sue - Thanks for representing ME!

  • Walk down the hall and join forces with Ron Paul and run for VP
