Congressman urges constitutional balance budget mandate
U S Rep Richard C White argues for a constitutional requirement to balance the federal budget as a remedy to chronic deficits. He testifies June 12 before the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Monopolies and Commercial Law, citing 41 of 50 deficits in 50 years and a national debt near 900 billion. White notes district polls show strong support for a balanced budget amendment.
