@RonDeSantis Maybe just maybe, have a meeting with most governors and pass an amendment through a convention of states?

Great but why hasn’t Congress heeded that advice? And even if it did for once what is stopping the next Congress from simply unwinding any reforms?

It’s a structural problem.

@RonDeSantis Sorry Ron you are making this too hard. First just fund the things the Constitution allows in the enumerated powers. Second spend less then the tax income of the Government. Most of us balance our budgets without needing a law or amendment.

The statement is part of a public discourse on the topic of constitutional amendments and fiscal policy, specifically discussing the process of calling an Article V convention to propose a balanced budget amendment. The tone is informative and supportive of the idea of using a convention of states to address structural fiscal issues.
