Our politicians in D.C. consistently claim that there just isn't any more room in the federal budget. They have to increase the deficit and national debt, they say, in order to keep the government running.
As former U.S. Senator and Senior Advisor to the Convention of States Project Tom Coburn explains, that's nonsense.
There are billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse the feds could eliminate today. There's $1 trillion they could eliminate over the next ten years.
So why don't they act? Simple. They have no incentive to.
They're perfectly comfortable running up the debt because they won't have to deal with the consequences. (Plus, there's another election to prepare for!)
We can't trust Congress to get our fiscal house in order, which is why We the People have to force their hand.
An Article V Convention of States can propose constitutional amendments that mandate a balanced budget, cap taxation, and limit spending. These amendments can get our nation's finances back on track, and save the fiscal security of our children and grandchildren.
