Hoeven Supports Balanced Budget Amendment

U.S. Senator John Hoeven:

If you think about it, the Balanced Budget Amendment gets everyone involved, both now and for the future, because it has to be passed by both houses of Congress with a two-thirds majority. That has to be done on a bipartisan basis. Then it goes out to the states, and three-fourths of the states have to ratify it for it to become part of the Constitution. That gets everybody involved in doing exactly what we need to do—get on top of this deficit and this debt—both now and for future generations.

Beautifully stated. The press release is definitely worth a read. North Dakota has some pretty impressive economic metrics. The most notable of which is a state unemployment rate of 3.3%.
