I agree that a change is needed but if people wont follow the Constitution why will they follow an Amendment?
It will require a Constitutional Amendment that:Yes, I know it is difficult to pass a Constitutional amendment, but I see no alternative.1) Would require a National Balanced Budget
2) Would allow deficit spending ONLY in the event of a crisis and would require a 2/3rds majority vote in Congress AND Presidential authorization.
3) Would institute a Value Added Tax, the revenues from which would apply 100% to reducing the deficit.
4) The Value Added Tax would sunset after the deficit was paid off. It could be re-instituted to pay off any new deficit spending that resulted from crisis deficit spending.
5) Would outlaw Value Added Taxes for any other purpose than paying off the deficit.
Critique.

That's no plan. That's slogans and sound bytes.
A plan would be like Republican Centerfold Scott Brown applying for Obama's Stimulus money to build a broadband infrastructure in his community to bring thousands of jobs and make all those small companies competitive.
Or Sen. Mitch McConnell who applied for stimulus money to rebuild railroads in Kentucky which would connect communities leading to thousands of new jobs.
Or Rep. Eric Cantor who supplied millions in stimulus money to companies in his area. He even set up at least two job fairs to bring workers in to apply for jobs funded by stimulus money.
Or Republican Deputy Whip Rep. Kevin McCarthy, who applied for stimulus money to build highways in California to connect communities who have been begging or help for 20 years. Connecting these communities will lead to thousands of new jobs.
Or House Minority leader John Boehner who received over 50 grants of stimulus money for contracts to rebuild infrastructure in Ohio who leads to thousands of jobs.
These are "Plans".
Now Republicans are so damn stupid, they will say, "But, but, once the bridge is built, the job is gone". Except now communities are connected. And what do connected communities do. Oh, I hate to have the explain it. It's so obvious. But I will anyway.
Connected communities create commerce. That means jobs. That means revenue. That leads to taxes. That brings down the debt.
Republicans want to stop all that. Their leaders don't, but the sheeple are too damn stupid to figure out how this works. Fuckers.
Why must we deficit spend?
It's the ultimate fiscal irresponsibility.
If you have something you feel is important to spend the money on, free up the money by eliminating other expenditures.
Keep in mind too, that several states have balanced budget requirements in their constitutions and they simply didn't adhere to it.
I'm not giving these mother fuckers one inch, because they will take a mile.
What we need to do is...
1) Outlaw Pork Barrel Spending.
2) Outlaw Lobbyists.
3) Abolish the IRS.
4) Enact either a Flat Tax or a Fair Tax. Either will work.
5) Term limits.
6) Start deporting all Illegal Aliens by means of attrition.
7) End all foreign wars and occupations.
Our problems will virtually start eroding over night.

Sometimes one must spend money they don't have, for example, if your roof leaks and you don't have the money to repair/replace should you 1) put buckets in the house; 2) pray it doesn't rain; 3) borrow the money to repair/replace the roof; 4) do nothing and wait until you've saved enough?

Macro-economically speaking, requiring a balanced budget at the federal level would be about the stupidest fucking thing you could possibly do. In a recession, you would have the government cutting spending and/or increasing taxes and that's exactly what you shouldn't do.
I swear, it's like these people never heard of the Great Depression.
I've got a better plan
CUT SPENDING!

Yeah, cause it only took us 12 years to get out of with with all that government spending.
Now that Depression 0f 1920. That was a depression. But it was also gone within a year because the government cut taxes and cut spending, then got out of the freaking way.
