I see nothing wrong with a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. We need to get a grip on sending in this country. Eventually it all must be paid back.
Do you really want power such as that turned over to a bunch of corrupt localized institutions that don't listen to the same people in which they govern?

Just a thought...
Do you know of anyone on the left organizing grassroots pressure and/or possible amendments in the eventuality that such a convention does take place? We could address campaign financing, put voting protections in the constitution, shift the presidential vote to a weekend, finish abolishing slavery, restrict corporate rights...
