See: Control an Otherwise Uncontrollable Congress With States-Backed Amendments
June 9th, 2025
"When Congress fails to deliver the goods on its own, it’s going to take the people to do it — Congress’ boss. And Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis has been promoting the exact means to do it.
As a three-term congressman before moving into the Sunshine State governor’s mansion, he’d seen it all before. So he’s been pushing for a state-initiated balanced budget amendment to bypass Congress."
What is most remarkable is, Ron DeSantis has yet to present the exact text of the balanced budget amendment which he has been pushing “to bypass Congress".
Keep in mind every one of the supposed "balanced budget amendments" offered since the 1980s as a Congressional Resolution, excluding the Fair Share Balanced Budget Amendment, would make it constitutional for Congress to not balance the annual budget if adopted.
DeSantis has been a genuine no-nonsense “conservative” Governor, has done well for the people of Florida and it would be to his benefit to reveal the precise text of the Balanced Budget Amendment he supports, rather than expecting his supporters and the American people to buy a pig in a poke.
Perhaps DeSantis is on board with the Fair Share Balanced Budget Amendment, which is our Founder’s explicitly expressed remedy when the monies Congress has raised during the course of a fiscal year are found insufficient for the Public Exigencies.
With the United States now having a debt exceeding $136 Trillion, including unfunded debt liabilities, and annual interest payments of about $1TRILLION, Congress has broken a sacred trust which our Founders held dearly.
JWK
We are here today and gone tomorrow, but what is most important is what we do in-between and is what our children will inherit and remember us by.
