The U.S. House of Representatives plans to vote Friday on a constitutional amendment mandating a balanced federal budget. North Carolina Congresswoman Virginia Foxs said there are a couple of balanced budget amendments floating around Congress.
"I favor the one that has that has the limits on spending and puts a super majority to raise taxes, but I am very concerned that at this stage of the game that we do something to express the feeling of Republicans, in particular, that we want to balance the federal budget," said Foxx
