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.

Makes sense to me ! Lock them in until they finish!!
That’ll be great!
For starters 5% cut is not enough to make congress balance the budget. If Blum really wanted to shake things up, he should have made it a much higher rate deduction. Somewhere around 30% would be satisfying.
Thank God someone got sense!!!!!!!!!!
We need a strong President to balance the budget… Vote Trump for a better financial outlook for this country….
HELL YEAH !!
How did the Republicans get woke up?? They’ve been Rip Van Winkeiing it for years.
Geez, nobody is happy. Try to balance a budget and spend less, that means taking away funding from certain things, then everyone gripes for that.
IT WILL GARNER THREE VOTES
Yes we will see if it is really true
