Oh and Please never never vote or support a Balanced Budget Amendment.. Here's why

I was chatting with a friend and I told him this.. He has lost all hope... And I cannot blame Him...


Oh and Please never never vote or support a Balanced Budget Amendment.. Here's why..

Do you really want a Law forcing them to balance the Budget by any means.. Like they won't raise Taxes to do so."Oh We had to balance Our spending, I mean the Budget, We don't want to break the Law, don't blame Us its the Balanced Budget Law, sorries".

People hear this claim, this quick fix and then think for a second and say its a great idea, but they need to think for 10 second about the ramifications and power they would be surrendering..

Instead, how about a Law that says the Gov can only be this big, if the Economy is this big.. Its a Law restricting the Size of the Federal Budget to the GDP, pinning it directly to the GDP.. As the Econ falls, so does Gov.. That would lock them into figuring out how to make stuff work without raising Taxes on Us.. In Good times, they get money, in Bad We keep the money..

Well what about the "people that might need Help? We leave that to the States to take care of... And Hell The Congress could be allowed to use a temporary spending Bill to Help, but it would not be a generational over spending thing...Just Emergency funding measures..

We People follow this in Our Lives. In good times We spend and save, in bad we cut spending, dip into savings and in real bad times, We ask for a small amount help from Others, Bridge Loans to help Us make it to the good times.. We don't say, cut off Food spending to pay for Bullshit wasteful spending, so why allow the Gov to do this..

See there is a Way , but no one will wake up and no one in DC would ever do this.. Even though it makes Perfect sense and keeps the Money and the Power in the Republic's Citizens Hands, not the Politicians Pockets..

So Don't give up Yet !!!
