We need a complete package of constitutional amendments to force Congress to be fiscally responsible. A balanced budget amendment is necessary, but as Mark Levin explained on his show, it isn't enough.
"I'm not interested in purely a balanced budget amendment," he said. "That doesn't fix a d----- thing. You need to control spending. You need to control taxes. Yes, you eventually need to balance the budget, but you need to control the debt."
Fortunately, the Founders gave us a solution to the out-of-control national debt. Article V allows the states to come together to propose multiple constitutional amendments that will limit taxing and spending while also forcing the feds to balance the budget.
These amendments can not only force Congress to balance the budget, but also dictate how they'll balance the budget -- not by raising taxes but by cutting wasteful, useless, duplicative spending.
We need to get our nation's finances under control before our children and grandchildren bear the real burden. Congress won't act, which is why the people and the states must join together to call the first-ever Article V Convention of States.
