Constitutional Alignment: 81·Factual Reliability: 82
Holding
A credentialed, data-grounded fiscal analysis condemning deficit finance as a fiscal illusion, tracing the debt to flat revenues against exploding mandatory spending, and urging a constitutional balanced-budget amendment. Aligned with honest money, limits of Washington, and the constitutional order (X, XII, XVII); bipartisan-blame integrity. Advocates discipline, not new taxes, so no auto-fail.
