    The House Will Vote On a MAJOR Constitutional Amendment ......

    The House of Representatives will vote on a constitutional amendment meant to address Congress’s fiscal irresponsibility, an issue that continually irks conservatives.


    However, The Hill stated that the amendment is very unlikely to garner the support required for addition to the Constitution: “The measure has virtually no chance of becoming law as it would need Democratic support in the Senate and ratification from the majority of states.”.....snip~

    Okay.....you have to give Ryan some credit with this. He knows this won't pass. As the Demos and Rinos wont be supporting it. But it is a smart move as the blame will fall on the Democrats. Which then all can use this for the election along with Pelosi saying they will raise taxes on people. Double whammy for the Demos to deal with. As all know Demos do nothing but spend money while claiming they will bring down the deficit. What say ye?

    Yes. Let's get the Congress Critters on the record. Which ones are opposed to a balanced budget?

    Target them for defeat when their terms are up.

    WTF has the House got to do with a Constitutional amendment? Not a damn thing, in the end, it is just for show.

    Yes they are involved with the process but the states are the end all for this.

    EDIT: Sorry read the opening and not the entire OP. I agree nothing will come of it.

    Because the House and Senate also have to take a vote. Plus as Pete said. Then we have people down on record for their vote. Think how that will look with some Rinos voting no from States they control.

    Then think of all those Demos that can be hammered over their vote. The Demos only control 5 states fully and totally. So all those Demos in Red States will be on the defensive.

    The Demos have touted for years that they balanced the budget. You would think they would step up and put their money where their mouth is. But they won't.

    It's a fraud. The only way I could support it is if it also contained a foolproof way to prevent them from simply raising taxes to achieve this balanced budget.


    The BBA is a scam. Don't fall for it.

    An Article V convention of states balanced budget amendment with penalties for a failure to create a budget must be causing some alarm. Note there are no penalties in the squishy house-sponsored amendment.

    This is for show, nothing more.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
