Xavier Becerra: “I think some folks that may be watching may think those of us who are saying this balanced budget amendment is the wrong…”

“I think some folks that may be watching may think those of us who are saying this balanced budget amendment is the wrong way to go are against ever balancing the Federal budget when of course we want to balance the budget, but we want to be realistic. That is why the gentleman from West Virginia's alternative is really a sound way to go because, as I explained earlier, if this was a family, and we are a family in America and we were trying to make decisions for this family of America, we would want to be able to purchase a home and, we would like to be able to get a 30-year mortgage or send our kids to college and be able to get some student loans to help pay the cost. If the gentleman can explain, does the balanced budget amendment that is on this floor by the majority party, the Republicans, allow for that?”
