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.
To see the legislation, continue reading on the next page:
Repealing the Bush tax cuts would be a good start to balancing the budget!
I can live on SS, barely, let’s see if they can instead of making their 6 figure salaries. And I’ve been working since I was 15.
The debt can never be paid off it is impossible
You cannot pay off a debt with borrowed currency which is owed back with interest if the total amount owed is higher than the total amount in circulation. It’s a Ponzi scheme. The system was intentionally made to continue raising the debt ceiling or collapse.

They are so stupid they hand out money to people for some of the most ridiculous studies that does not make any sense. That and giving to all the other countries would save a lot.
This something that should be given serious consideration. Presidential vacays should be limited monetarily. Michelle obozo took advantage of the American taxpayer generousity. Anyway I think this congressman is on the right track. Write congressman and inform them of this.
DO IT OR GET OUT !!
Excellent idea but it will never happen. Without money and position there is no reason to be as corrupt as they all are or become.
we will save a trillion dollars a year by getting rid of all illegals !
