The stupidest Constitutional Amendment of All Time

Bruce Bartlett
On 31 Mar 2011

Today, all 47 Senate Republicans introduced a constitutional amendment to balance the federal budget. [...] Of course, simply refusing the raise the debt limit would balance the budget overnight -- the nation would default on its debt and we would be plunged into the worst fiscal crisis in history, but the budget would be balanced. [... ] In short, this is quite possibly the stupidest constitutional amendment I think I have ever seen. It looks like it was drafted by a couple of interns on the back of a napkin. Every senator cosponsoring this POS should be ashamed of themselves.
