Re: "You don't trust the voters and process either."

Whatever on Earth would make you think that????????

Have I EVER said that I 'don't trust the American public to [ultimately] express it's true desires?

Re: "If you thought they would produce good results, then you could trust them not to run harmful deficits, but obviously you don't."

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Voters don't sign bills in Congress. Congress-critters do that. The most we can hang around the necks of the average American is being silly enough to fall for the lies of various politicians over-and-over when they 'swear' that they are 'A'Gin big deficits!'.)

A constitutional amendment would do nothing about preventing citizens from falling for soft soap from politicians --- but it WOULD *require* those same politicians to enact balanced budgets regardless of their charm levels. <GGG>
