Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Balanced Budget Amendment S. J. Res; 41: Hearings Before the Committee on Appropriations, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session on S. J. Res; 41, a Joint Resolution Proposing an Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to Require a Balanced Budget; Special He The committee met at 9:05 a.m., in room SD-192, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Robert C. Byrd (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Byrd and Nickles. Chairman Byrd. The committee will come to order. Today, this committee begins 4 days of hearings on an issue of profound - profound national importance. If passed by the Congress and ratified by the States, Senate Joint Resolution 41 would amend the U.S. Constitution by adding a requirement that the Federal budget be balanced every year. Obviously, given the unprecedented levels of deficit spending over the past dozen years, it is clear why such a proposal is popular with the American people. Frustration at what the public perceives as an inability on the part of the President and the Congress to work together to solve this problem has led to disillusionment and contributed to a distrust toward Government. It is also not surprising in this age of sound bite analysis that the people would, therefore, be attracted to such a seemingly simple solution, but no matter how understandably seductive this measure might be, amending the Constitution is a step that cannot be lightly taken. Indeed, in the past 200 years, that sparse document has only been amended 17 times following the adoption of the Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, and that is a record that is not accidental. Certainly the framers envisioned future amendments, or they would not have provided the process detailed in article V by which the Constitution can be amended, but that process is a clumsy, complicated mechanism hardly designed for speed. Rather, it was deliberately structured to ensure that those amendments that were adopted would meet the needs of generations to come, and not simply address the passions of the day, even those passions that are cloaked in the best of intentions.
