Your article is so one-sided I just have to laugh. The fact that you say a BBA would, "...Forcing steeps cuts in Social Security and blocking Congress from responding to economic downturns or natural disasters" is simply not true. The BBA would require the federal government to not spend more than it made. Nothing more, nothing less. If our elected officials decide to cut disaster funding or welfare instead of 'bridges to nowhere' or Mexican economic development that is our fault for electing them. A BBA amendment is one of the few ways that we can pull back the growth of the federal government and put it in check. Both parties are growing more and more powerful, stomping on our freedoms. I look forward to a Convention I plan to help educate Americans so they can see that this is beneficial for all of us, no matter your party.
