“I could end the deficit in 5 minutes. You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP all sitting members of congress are ineligible for reelection.” - Warren Buffer, July 2011

(not the same thing as job creation but still relevant IMO)

That would be effing awesome.

No. A balanced budget required by amendment would work much better.

This will all be fixed when Obama has the available jobs number lowered to get the unemployment rate under 8% in time for the election. Don't doubt me, the numbers will be doctored.

I wonder if more Americans will still be drawing extended unemployment than will be considered "looking for work" by the unemployment rate calculations?

That would be pretty epic.

If the MN legislature is any indication, I'm not sure I agree with you.

Not being from MN I'm not sure what's going on there, but what is wrong with living within your means? I have to do it. I assume you do too.

Legislators would break amendments without caring too much, on the other hand if their jobs were on the line, they'd think differently.

The problem is why do we punish the person (or the 249 persons) who have fought for balanced budget but failed because he is (they are) in the minority. It'd be a great way to deal with your political enemies.
1. Run up a deficit
2. blame it on the opposition party.
3. Hope more of your parties newbies make it into the next election than the opposition newbies

If you worded the amendment right it would be hard to break. Also they could be checked by the sitting judiciary and/or the executive.

Because, they are all failures together. If you are part of a team that bankrupts the company then you get laid off as well, even if you tried to do a good job.

I don't usually get into these discussions, but that was hard to listen to! What an idiot she is!
