Shortly after publicizing three Republican governors‘ endorsement of a federal balanced budget amendment, Human Events reports that all GOP U.S. senators support the same goal:

The key provisions of the new balanced budget amendment (BBA) are: Congress must pass a balanced budget; the President has to submit a balanced budget; spending is capped at 18% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP); “supermajority” vote (two-thirds of House and Senate) to raise taxes; and “new supermajority” vote (three-fifths of House and Senate) to raise the debt ceiling.

“We’ve been fighting to cut spending in the near-term and that’s why we’ll soon be proposing a balanced budget amendment. American families have to balance their budgets. So should their elected representatives in Washington. It’s not too much to expect that lawmakers spend no more than they take in,” [Senate Minority Leader Mitch] McConnell said on the Senate floor Thursday morning.
