Balanced Budget Amendment

More from this show

28 states have passed resolutions to ask congress to call a constitutional convention to consider passing an amendment requiring the federal government to have a balanced budget. The approval of 34 states is needed to call for the convention, and Arizona is one the states that has not passed a resolution yet. Hear from both sides of the issue with Professor David Super of Georgetown Law arguing against a convention and Nick Dranias, president and executive director of the Compact for America Educational Foundation, making a case for one.
