| Hi John, America’s federal budget is broken — and the numbers speak for themselves. The cost of national debt to taxpayers is staggering, averaging $107,000 per person. Congress’ reckless spending is making inflation soar and your life more expensive. For many Americans, this means delaying a vacation or buying a house. For many others, it might mean choosing between paying rent or buying groceries. You have to live within your means. Why shouldn’t Congress? We recently published a blog outlining actionable steps Congress can take to help fix federal budgeting. A thoughtfully crafted Balanced Budget Amendment could be the first step toward restoring accountability. It ensures responsible spending while maintaining flexibility during emergencies like recessions or natural disasters. Here’s why it matters: - A balanced budget would help stabilize the economy by curbing reckless spending and prioritizing fiscal discipline.
- Families could breathe easier with lower inflation and fewer burdens from government debt.
- With your support, grassroots advocacy can drive lawmakers to pass policy that combats inflation.
