I don't consider it stupid party tricks. Restraining spending is more important that a balanced budget amendment (esp. considering likely ways around an amendment that could get passed, and considering that restraint on spending will help balance the budget, and that a balanced budget amendment without such restraint, to the extent its effective, is a "tax and tax some more amendment").

This particular proposal to restrain spending is not nearly as big as a balanced budget amendment, but the idea behind it is the right one, and something like this is much more likely to get passed.
