Amend Constitution to reduce Deficit 10% each year with balanced budget Year 10 & after unless Congress declares war or other national emergency, combined with $1 Trillion Stimulus-Investment Fund for infrastructure, job training, cheap/clean energy and defense rebuild. Per terms of the Amendment, deficit reduction and balanced-budget requirements don't take effect until Congress creates and funds Stimulus-Investment Fund. So no stimulus, no deficit reduction or balanced budget, and no Amendment, no stimulus. Win/win: Democrats/Republicans each get what they want most, which together achieve the critical goals of gradually shrinking spending and size of government until our debt is forever controlled and immediately stimulating the economy while investing in improving its long-term future.
