Would A Balanced Budget Amendment Solve Federal Financial Issues?

A large percentage of Americans would agree that the process toward reaching budget agreements in congress — and that ultimately lead to the president signing and not vetoing them — is extremely flawed, confusing and full of political theater.

We talked with Nick Dranias, president and executive director of Compact for America.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
