The Federal Budget of the United States of America will be balanced in order to come in line with revenues. To this end, if the budget exceeds revenues, several counter actions will be triggered: 1st: All Salaries, pensions, and benefits for all Federal Appointed or Elected Officials will be reduced by 1/2 but will still be further reduced by the 2nd counter action listed below. 2nd: All departments of the Federal Government will have the budgets reduced by an equal percentage that will bring down the spending to meet revenues. To this end, all payrolls, pensions, and benefit, or bonus outlays will be reduced at an equal percentage. 3rd: There will be no grandfathered items in the budget at the time of this amendment being made effective, nor will there be allowed any automatic budget items to survive one budget year to another. Each Congress will be responsible for a budget each budget year. This amendment will become effective on the day of passage and no later. 4th: Up to 90 percent, and no less than 50 percent of all federal lands will be sold to lessen the actual debt of the nation. It is time for these lands to return to the States and or the individual. In addition to all of the above Deficit Spending will only be allowed in extreme national emergency and only if approved by 2/3rds of the individual State's legislative institutions by majority vote. Through these measures American's will finally get a government that is truly fiscally responsible with the resources of the People for who they are chosen to represent.
