If the focus is on passing an amendment, we’ll never get any fiscal conservatives elected. Takes a lot longer to pass an amendment than to run a campaign for congress.

I disagree- we need to elect fiscal conservatives to pass the amendment. Republicans could run on supporting it and win. They did in 1994, and it worked. The problem was they dropped it too quickly. They should have kept pushing the issue. If they had, perhaps we’d have more fisc-cons in DC, and some rationality in government spending right now.
