...issues--whether a balanced-budget amendment is wise in the first place, and whether an Article V convention is a safe way to propose one. On both questions, the lines form predictably between liberals and conservatives. Convention supporters argue for a budget amendment with familiar Proposition 13 attacks on big government. Spokesmen for the National Taxpayers Union, which has pushed the convention proposal since 1975, admit that they are trying to "straightjacket" the federal government, but contend that a budget amendment could leave reasonable loopholes for national emergencies and wars...
