It details the flaws in past balanced budget amendment proposals, outlines the features of a promising new approach with broad appeal, and how the amendment might be adopted and implemented in today's political climate. Even as the U.S. economy expands, the federal government continues to run large and growing budget deficits that exceed $2 trillion per year and a debt burden eclipsing annual economic output. With debt pressures continuing to grow, Congress is almost certain to return to considering a constitutional amendment to bring the federal government?s spending and revenue into balance. Congress has attempted to pass BBAs in the past, but none have succeeded despite their proliferation among advanced economies. In Fiscal Democracy in America, Kurt Couchman argues for a principles-based balanced budget amendment (BBA) that would let Congress phase out the gap between revenue and non-interest spending over a 10-year period to restore fiscal space for emergencies while encouraging Congress to overhaul the dysfunctional federal budget process. Couchman explores America's financial history, the dangers of high and rising debt burdens, and examples of other countries, state governments, and the U.S. federal government itself moving toward healthier budgeting practices. He particularly seeks to lay out neutral, predictable rules for sound governance so that members of Congress can holistically and responsibly manage federal spending and tax policies to provide ever-greater value for the American people. Aimed at policymakers and the public across the political spectrum, Couchman's proposals would guide America toward a more prosperous and democratic future. Kurt Couchman is a senior fellow in fiscal policy for Americans for Prosperity. 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aFinance, Public 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aGovernance and Government 606 $aPolicy Adoption 606 $aPublic Finance 606 $aPolicy Implementation 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 0$aFinance, Public. 615 14$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aPolicy Adoption. 615 24$aPublic Finance. 615 24$aPolicy Implementation. 676 $a320.9 700 $aCouchman$b Kurt$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01836652 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911018747803321 996 $aFiscal Democracy in America$94414848 997 $aUNINA
