Reagan on America

“We must act now to pass a constitutional amendment to balance the budget.”

March 13, 1987

“After a long, hard struggle, the American people won a major victory with tax reform. We finally got the special interests out of the tax code, and now it's time to get them out of the budget. And that's why we must not delay. We must act now to pass a constitutional amendment to balance the budget. Most of our States have such a provision in their State constitutions.”
