We support the passage of a “Balanced Budget Amendment” to the U.S. Constitution, provided that the budget is balanced exclusively by cutting expenditures, and not by raising taxes.

I'm not sure on this one. While I completely agree that we need to have a balanced budget, I always get concerned when it comes to constitutional amendments. In this specific case, I doubt that the amendment would come with a no raising taxes clause and it could then be used as a club for the purpose of raising taxes.
