Proposing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution requiring that each agency and department's funding is justified.

Bill 118 hjres 19, also known as the Balanced Budget Amendment, proposes an amendment to the Constitution that would require each agency and department's funding to be justified. This means that Congress would need to carefully evaluate and justify the budget for each government entity, ensuring that taxpayer dollars are being spent wisely and efficiently.

The goal of this amendment is to promote fiscal responsibility and accountability within the government. By requiring agencies and departments to justify their funding, Congress can better ensure that taxpayer money is being used effectively and that unnecessary spending is minimized.

Supporters of the Balanced Budget Amendment argue that it is necessary to prevent government overspending and to help reduce the national debt. They believe that by requiring agencies to justify their funding, Congress can better prioritize spending and make more informed decisions about where taxpayer dollars should be allocated. Opponents of the amendment, however, argue that it could lead to cuts in essential government programs and services. They worry that agencies and departments may struggle to justify their funding, leading to budget cuts that could harm important services for the American people. Overall, the Balanced Budget Amendment proposed in Bill 118 hjres 19 aims to promote fiscal responsibility and accountability within the government. It will require agencies and departments to justify their funding, helping Congress make more informed decisions about how taxpayer dollars are spent.
