This bill proposes adding a new part to the US Constitution that would require the government to balance its budget every year. If the budget is not balanced, three-fifths of Congress could vote on allowing an exception. The bill also sets rules for how the government can spend and borrow money.
This bill could affect everyday Americans by helping to prevent the government from running huge deficits, which can lead to higher interest rates and lower economic growth.
