Its true purpose and intent are made clear once it is understood that it gives over responsibility for the enumerated powers of Congress to the executive who will write the budget, designate taxes, and how the money will be spent.

We will be taxed for whatever the executive decides to spend, or not more than 18% of the GDP.

But wait! There's more!

The Bureau of Economic Analysis in the Department of Commerce, which is responsible for calculating the GDP, is an agency controlled by the executive. Therefore, the executive controls the agency which computes the number that limits his spending.

Your BBA is a scam, which would legalize spending that is presently unlawful, increase the powers of the federal government and do nothing to reduce spending.

Our constitution will be mutated from one with enumerated spending powers to one with general, meaning "unlimited", spending powers.

This amendment will open wide the door to totalitarian dictatorship.

As Congress works on the FY 2012 budget and a long-term plan to cut spending and balance the federal budget, I will keep your comments and advice in mind. 

Keep this in mind; You and most members of congress are in violation of the Oath you took to defend the Constitution. You have turned over the entire wealth of the nation to a tiny fraction of its population and are willfully selling the Working People of America into slavery. 

In closing I will add the following in the forlorn hope that you still have even a minuscule spark of humanity left, somewhere in your soul, struggling to be recognised; 

If congress would simply pass HR 6550, The National Emergency Employment Defense Act, the problem of the debt ceiling would vanish along with the national debt.

But that's not really what you want, is it?

That would spoil your dream of being part of the "royalty" or, at the very least, a favoured servant.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defense, PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.''

Despite your best efforts and those of the financial cartel that owns you to make it so, welfare is not a four letter word.

You and they are the parasites, leeches and free-loaders; not the elderly, poor, jobless, crippled, ill and homeless who are, in fact, your victims.
