Will the 2023 Republican controlled House follow our Constitution and extinguish annual deficits?

short answer is no. senate needs to affirm this and its DOA once it hits the democrat controlled senate.

totally bogus bill to score political points not to actually fix anything.

anyone with political acumen knows this.

Maybe, but it’s also a winning political strategy.

The annual deficit has been decreasing during the current presidency. When both houses were controlled by dems
Yay?

Which is really meaningless and a deflection when one considers a previous year’s deficit can be decreased by a few billion dollars while the national debt can be increased by hundreds of billions. Keep in mind the national debt has been spiking under the past several Administrations, regardless of political party affiliation as previously pointed out…

The Fair Share Balanced Budget Amendment not only addresses the deficit problem, but also ends the destructive miseries now suffered under federal taxing of profits, gains, salaries, wages, and other lawfully realized “incomes”, and also makes each State’s Congressional Delegation immediately accountable in their own state when they spend more than is brought from imposts, duties, and excise taxes.

“…a national revenue must be obtained; but the system must be such a one, that, while it secures the object of revenue it shall not be oppressive to our constituents.”___ Madison, during the creation of our Nation’s first revenue raising Act

This thread is about deficit not debt. Your own thread. Stop derailing your own thread.

I was addressing your meaningless and politized comment. Additionally, I pointed out

Stop being obtuse.

That’s a nice dream you have there.

You keep dropping audio equipment and it will break

Deficit has decreased during this admin

Your fantasies on how to fix that with assumptions about its affect on the economy are just that fantasy.

RE: “Deficit has decreased during this admin …”

And the National Debt has skyrocketed during the past several presidents, and that includes the present Administration LINK

RE: “Your fantasies on how to fix that with assumptions about its affect on the economy are just that fantasy.”

Abiding by our Constitution and its documented legislative intent is now a fantasy “…with assumptions about its affect on the economy…” ?

I tend to agree with the wisdom of our Founders over your displayed petulant and obtuse opinions.

If you are not interested in having a productive conversation, why continue to post in the thread?

“If the Constitution was ratified under the belief, sedulously propagated on all sides that such protection was afforded, would it not now be a fraud upon the whole people to give a different construction to its powers?”___ Justice Story

Cute monkey.

What would be the economic repercussions of your position?

Not just some “it will”. What will be the exact economic effect?

Debt isn’t deficit. Stop confounding the two.

the red tsunami hit in 2022. oh wait. no it didn’t.

these issues hit home with the base NOT independents and dems.

Its a losing strategy. politically speaking.

Allan

The GOP spent years coasting on pro life. The finally win the issue, and the tsunami wasn’t. I feel that you have inadvertantly proved my point.

So, are you now admitting the national debt has skyrocketed under the current Administration?

In a thread about deficit? Tsk tsk. I would not dare.

Of course, you ignore that part of the thread title relating to following our Constitution . . .

But hey, your presence here is obviously to obfuscate, deflect, and misrepresent.

I asked a question which you chose to ignore because it’s easier for you to argue in a vaccum where your positions don’t have actual effect on the economy. So you get what you get because of how you debate…

Chart your graph with who is in charge of Congress…. It’s more accurate and flips you attempt on its head.

Your question was addressed HERE but you chose to ignore the various answers given because it’s easier for you to to obfuscate, deflect, and misrepresent.

Our socialist revolutionaries are known for accusing others of what they themselves are guilty of.

Literally none of that discusses the transition and the effects in the economy. Stellar try

I understand your clever desire to deflect to speculations concerning the THE FAIR SHARE BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT, rather than discus its specific provisions, and the principles under which the provisions are based, e.g., Representation in Congress with a proportional financial obligation, whenever a direct tax is laid upon the people!

JWK

When Federal Reserve Notes were made a legal tender in violation of our Constitution, and a direct un-apportioned tax was imposed upon the people without their consent, America’s free enterprise, free market system was subjugated, and the tools of oppression were made available to some very immoral and nefariously evil people.

The specific provisions have been discussed. They are irrelevant without understand how the economy would be effected. You are ignoring that part of a reason. You want to engage in a thought exercise while ignoring the repercussions.
