Constitutional Amendment and Moratorium on Earmarks? (Congress, versus, federal government, states)

[Rggr]

Thoughts?

"A group of Republicans senators will introduce a constitutional amendment tomorrow requiring the federal government to keep a balanced budget.

The proposal, which many states have enacted for their own budgets, would prevent Congress from running yearly deficits."

"The senators will also propose a one year moratorium on earmarks, which critics say unnecessarily inflate appropriations bills."

It will be interesting to see how far this goes and who supports it versus who does not.
