@LivemusicCJ Yes but I think people assume that if 32-33 states sign on for an Article V amendment (34 is the trigger), then Congress would preempt it by passing its own BBA.

@RonDeSantis It’s been unsustainable for a long time. Which is why we are where we are. There are very few in DC that care a single bit about being fiscally responsible

U.S Treasury will now need to borrow $514 Billion this quarter, an increase of more than 300% from previous estimates 🚨🚨

The statement engages in public discourse by discussing the process of amending the U.S. Constitution to address fiscal responsibility, specifically through a balanced budget amendment (BBA). It suggests that Congress might act preemptively if enough states push for an Article V amendment. The tone is speculative and analytical, focusing on political strategy rather than personal attacks.
