David Vitter, United States Senator, Louisiana

The current spending habits in Washington are a recipe for disaster. We cannot afford to keep kicking the can down the road and leave this fiscal mess for our children and grandchildren. We must take bold action now.

That's why I'm proud to be co-sponsoring a constitutional amendment that would require the federal government to balance its budget each year.

Making tough choices and real cuts today will make a huge difference when we hand our country over to our children and grandchildren. Like Louisiana families who sit around the kitchen table and plan a realistic budget, the federal government needs to start operating within its means. And that means working to balance the budget.

I invite you to join me in sending the message that it's not enough to just talk about spending cuts - we're taking action.
