The devil is always in the details. A balanced budget amendment would follow that rule.
They would have to agree on what triggers it.
Then the resolution--cut spending across the board, or with Congress selecting the cuts, or balance by raising taxes? Many here would love that! Overspend, and then have automatic ( I didn't vote to raise taxes!!) tax increases on the undeserving rich--the best of all possible worlds.

As messy as is our present system, I think I prefer it.
