What about the national debt?

If this amendment is implemented, the government will only be able to borrow real money. The national debt could not be increased as it has been in the recent past because an unlimited amount of real money is not available to be loaned to us. The debt ceiling will only be raised when real money exists to support raising it. Of course, checking spending to reduce the amount of real borrowing needed will also have to be done.
