What is Balanced budget amendment?
A '''balanced budget amendment''' is a rule in the [[United States Constitution]] that requires the government's yearly budget to spend no more than it earns, so the government does not have to [[loan|borrow money]]. Some proposals of the balanced budget amendment allow the government to borrow money (spending more than it earns) during a time of emergency such as [[war]], or if most people in Congress agree it is necessary.
