Cut Cap Balance Pledge

The senators checked here have signed the pledge to oppose raising the debt limit unless Congress (1) substantially cuts spending now, (2) caps spending into the future, and (3) passes the Balanced Budget Amendment.

The "Cut, Cap, Balance" Pledge states:

"I, ____________________ pledge to oppose any debt limit increase unless all three of the following conditions have been met:

1. Cut - Substantial cuts in spending that will reduce the deficit next year and thereafter.
2. Cap - Enforceable spending caps that will put federal spending on a path to a balanced budget.
3. Balance - Congressional passage (not mere support) of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution -- but only if it includes both a spending limitation and a super-majority for raising taxes, in addition to balancing revenues and expenses."
