Whereas:
Runaway federal spending has resulted in an unsustainable, $28 trillion
national debt which threatens the prosperity of future generations of Americans; and,
Whereas:
The federal government spends nearly $31 billion every day while presiding over widespread unemployment, skyrocketing insurance premiums, and social programs on the verge of bankruptcy; and,
Whereas:
The Balanced Budget Amendment, S.J. Res. 5 and H.J. Res. 26, would force Congress to pass a balanced budget every year, require a two-thirds vote by both houses of Congress to raise taxes or the debt ceiling; and,
Therefore:
In the interest of a fiscally sustainable future for my children, grandchildren, and our country, I hereby am going on record in strong support of the Balanced Budget Amendment.
