Develop a budget policy similar to the policy adopted in Switzerland that is known as the Swiss Debt Brake.

Created by J.B. on November 01, 2015

The Swiss developed a system in which a spending cap was created that would change based on, in the US bill version presented by US Representative Kevin Brady (R., Texas), potential GDP. Adopting a similar system would increase the effectiveness of US spending, allowing for deficit spending during recessions and for more effective spending during prosperous times.
