Carter forms budget task force in balanced budget push
President Carter created a White House task force to study the push for a constitutional balanced budget amendment. The group, led by Richard Moe, has spent six weeks quietly examining state resolutions and potential paths to a convention, amid Carter’s opposition to the amendment. 28 states have approved resolutions. Indiana and Montana are likely to follow. A 34-state threshold would trigger a congressional convention, which Moe warns could cause a crisis between states and Congress with courts in the middle.
