re: "when you are in the throws of the most rapid and potentially worst global economic collapse since the onset of the Great Depression" Except we probably are not in the worst world wide downturn since the great depression. Certainly the US itself is not, its only in the worst downturn since the early 80s. Also "worst since the Great Depression, even if it was accurate, creates a false impression that it also means "close to being as bad as the great depression. It isn't. re: "And only a Balanced Budget Amendment to our Constitution, (taking it out of the hands of short-term politicians...), will EVER reign chronic government over-spending in." If you believe in a balanced budget amendment, than I suppose your a strong opponent of the stimulus bill, right?
