House Republicans recently voted to add $2.5 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. That is more debt in the shortest period of time by any one political party, the Republican Party, in American history. Their debt will exceed the entire American economy in 10 years. The moral horror of passing this debt on to your kids and grandkids now belongs to you. You own it and they owe it. To now offer a balanced budget amendment is transparently cowardly and egregious. Congress does not need a constitutional amendment to do its job honorably. The Constitution already gives Congress that authority. What is missing is the intestinal fortitude to do that which the Constitution calls on you to do honorably. ____________________

You should be indignant about what Congress has done to this budget that really serves our people.
