A few Senators are finally getting the message. Jerry Morgan (R-Ks), Mike Lee (R-Ut), and Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) have informed their colleagues and Senate leadership that they will filibuster any bill to increase the federal debt limit. Furthermore, they are backing Senator Pat Toomey's (R-Pa) bill for a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. This bill would also cap government spending at a percentage of GDP.
A constitutional amendment takes years to get enacted, as it has to be ratified by the states through elections, but this is a definite must need if we are going to start to fix our problems. Let your Senators and Representatives know that you back this bill.
