Steve's barking at the preposed destroy America constitional Amendment

The Whine and Cry party in the form of Republicans in the house are demanding a balance budget amendment to our constitition.
If we had an amendment like that we wouldn't have been able to have fought in World War two.
We wouldn't be able to help victums of national disasters if these disasters happen after all the money that was budgeted is gone.
It appears to me with such an amendment the United States wouldn't be able to borrow to pay our bills in the case of a shortfall in revenue the budget wouldn't be balanced.

The United States has tried (though some would say not very successful)   since the later part of the 20Th century lived up one of the reasons for the constitution as stated in the preamble, provide for the general welfare.
Those who want a balanced budget amendment do not believe in providing for the general welfare.
Those who want a  balance budget  amendment don't want to raise taxes, when the debate that our fore fathers had was how to raise revenue to pay for our revolutionary war debt as we could borrow again.
The debate was if we needed a strong centralized government to pay the debt or to continue to have lose confederation  of states that unfortunately wasn't help pay the debt.
Oh by the way the strong centralized federalist won the day.
It was decided that local governments knew the ability of the citizens to pay their taxes. (Those who could afford more would pay more?)
Of cause things got muddled from day one but that's a different blog.

Getting back to the original premise, a constitutional balance budget amendment should be called lets destroy America as we know amendment.
To those congressmen who want a balance budget amendment, damn you fifth columnist.
