“I am wholeheartedly in favor of our government balancing our budget. A balanced budget goes a long way toward getting rid of our National Debt problem which adds volatility to our economy and devalues our dollar. As Americans for a Balanced Budget Amendment work toward that goal we support their efforts.”

- Dave Ramsey, Radio Show Host and Business Analyst

“Our country needs a Balanced Budget Amendment, and I am very supportive of government at every level living within its means. Americans for a Balanced Budget Amendment’s leadership on this most important issue is greatly appreciated. Hang in there for the sake of our children and grandchildren.”

- Tom Pauken, Chairman, Texas Workforce Commission

“Our Constitution defines and limits the powers of government, and there is no more vital limit we need today than one on Washington’s wanton borrowing. Working together with Americans for a Balanced Budget Amendment, we can ensure that our Constitution protects current and future generations of taxpayers from irresponsible deficit spending, and gives all of us the more accountable government we deserve.”

- Pete Sepp, Vice President for Policy and Communications, National Taxpayers Union
