house 01/13/2025 - 119th Congress
We are advocating for a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution to ensure that the government's yearly spending does not exceed its income, promoting fiscal responsibility and accountability. This legislation requires a two-thirds majority in both Houses for any budget that proposes more spending than revenue, and it aims to stabilize national financial management for future generations.
