Any responsible American understands how a budget works. You can’t spend more than you take in. If you do, you have to spend less, or you’ll lose everything in the long run.
Somehow, the people we send to Washington D.C. — supposedly with superior intellects and our best interest in mind — haven’t learned that lesson. Every year we elect people who promise to balance our budget and release us from the constant threat of increasing debts, and nearly every year those very people go to Washington and spend more money, and put us deeper into debt.
All but one, it seems. One Republican legislator is finally trying to create real consequences for members of congress should they fail to balance the budget, and for once they, not the American people, will be the ones hurting should they fail.

Works at the personal level. Live beyond your means you are broke.
good start
Well it is good to know that there is at least one in Congress that has some common sense,and I certainly pray that this does pass and become effective immediately.
It is over $19 trillion now, with over $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities. http://www.usdebtclock.org/
Balance it by cutting unnecessary things like maybe your staff……NOT by raising taxes.
Kathleen Santanella Clinton had the deficit at $0 and a balanced budget with a surplus when he left office.
Remember getting checks from Uncle Sam to boost the economy during the GWB tenure? The deficit is the problem child of GWB and the GOP!
Trump will stop all overspending and run America like a business! The people are most important in growing our economy and strengthening our dollar. We need to spend at home first, then the rest of the world secondly, in my opinion.
Pres. Clinton did this with help from Republican speaker Newt Gingrich. …..back in the day when people worked together for bipartisan solutions to problems.
All of them have to go !!! NO MORE OF THEIR B******T!!!
Good idea, though
balance it or get the hell out of office
