Opinion | Newt Gingrich: House Republicans must deliver a balanced budget WashTimesOpEd
By 70% to 13%, Americans favor a constitutional amendment for a balanced budget. This includes 67% of Democrats, 74% of Republicans and 70% of independents.
Most Americans believe that eliminating waste and corruption in government would be enough to balance the budget. This includes Democrats, who traditionally support large, centralized government.In the fight between the House and Senate over whether spending could be cut below the debt ceiling agreement, Americans were overwhelmingly with House Republicans.
Americans favor spending cuts so much they would support a limited, temporary shutdown of the federal government to get it done. There is a similar 57%-to-22% margin in favor of cutting spending even if it takes a shutdown. This gap in responses represents a 4-point gain from the generic ballot for the Republican and a 7-point drop from the generic for the Democrat. The generic ballot is a simple survey that asks people for their party preference for Congress.The current massive deficits and the enormous national debt hurt Americans and America in a number of ways. Just paying interest on the debt this year will exceed $1 trillion.
