Coffman Lauds Committee Approval of Balanced Budget Amendment
“Amending the Constitution is a long, arduous task and I applaud Rep. Bob Goodlatte, a member of the Balanced Budget Amendment Caucus, for getting this much-needed proposal out of Committee and on to the House floor for a vote. Our $14.4 trillion national debt is pushing our country off a financial cliff and it’s extremely encouraging to hear that more and more of my colleagues in the House recognize the very serious threat of Washington’s reckless, out-of-control spending.” The Balanced Budget Amendment Caucus is a bipartisan group of Members of Congress founded last year to raise awareness about the necessity and importance of amending the Constitution to require a balanced budget, and to educate other Members on this subject. Caucus membership grew this year to over 60 members.
