Diaz-Balart comments on the Balanced Budget Amendment

Our Constitution has been amended just 27 times in 223 years

Washington, D.C. –Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) issued the following statement on the ongoing Congressional negotiations regarding the debt limit.

“The White House says the ongoing congressional negotiations provide ‘a unique opportunity to accomplish something significant.’ If the White House were serious about accomplishing something significant, then they would join House Republicans in passing a Balanced Budget Amendment. The American people can recall at least a handful of false promises made by this administration, which makes their efforts or ‘promise’ to cut trillions of dollars over the next ten years insignificant if no enforcement measures exist.”
