“In the last year, I spoke before my State legislature to a joint session of the House and Senate, and there was overwhelming support for a balanced budget amendment. I think there is actually a movement out there to do it if we do not do it. There is so much feeling among the public that this enormous debt is hurting us. When I go home and talk to people, I say: Look, the people the debt hurts the worst are those on fixed incomes, senior citizens, and those in the working class. Those are the people who are being hurt by this debt because it causes rising prices. As we print the new money, those people are hurt every time they go buy gas at the pump, every time they go to the grocery store. The rising prices are hurting senior citizens and the working class. The only way we are going to fix it is to have rules that must be obeyed.”
