It takes leadership. When Bush came into office, there was a compromise worked out by Clinton and the congress called PayGo, or "pay as you go", to get Clinton to quit vetoing appropriation bills. Everything in an appropriation bill had to be paid for with existing income (taxes). Bush ended the practice shortly after coming into office.

A balanced budget amendment woud be extremely difficult to get done, and would take years. Any constitutional amendment, even a popular one, is a tough job to get done as the requirements are SO tough. Bush isn't for it, so who's going to be it's champion? ( Not that Bush being for it would help much NOW! )
