That would require draconian spending cuts and massive recession.The best way to eliminate debt is to pay it off.
No massive economic collapse needed.
You down with that?

Who ya plan on killing?
How could not spending any more than we take in at $5.6 trillion a year have any negative consequences?
All we have to do is rid of all that wasteful bullshit to get down to existing revenue.

"Actual war" and "natural disaster" are terms that can and will mean anything politicians in Washington need them to mean. You've undermined the point of the amendment right out of the gate. And the fact that 99% of what Washington does is unconstitutional already means an amendment is largely symbolic nonsense.We need to pass a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget every year, barring an actual war or massive natural disaster.
You think increasing the cost of borrowing on the debt we already have isn't going to add to the debt?Ohhh nooooo!....The feds can't borrow more funny money because their credit sucks!
This situation gets better and better all the time!
That's a false choiceGiven the choice between defaulting and having to tighten our belts and pay off the debt? I'm for paying it off.
The costs increase is getting rolled over already....You really have no idea how fiat "money" creation works....Go play on the freeway.You think increasing the cost of borrowing on the debt we already have isn't going to add to the debt?
Hand your check book over to your wife because you can't be trusted with it
I ask again: What does spending more and more money without end do to the debt?You think increasing the cost of borrowing on the debt we already have isn't going to add to the debt?
Hand your check book over to your wife because you can't be trusted with it
YesI assume you're a Trump supporter?
I think the US Constitution prohibits a default

I know what you meant, but as you will likely not be in Congress or the White House at all, let alone able to control hundreds of different politicians, what you meant isn't relevant. What's relevant is how they will choose to interpret it for their own benefit.By "actual war" I mean war declared by congress, not some "police action.
And defaulting would add even MORE...at higher rates after our credit rating gets downgraded againThe costs increase is getting rolled over already.
