Constitutional limits on spending?

[The One and Only...]

What do you think of the possibility? Exceptions would be put in for national emergencies, of course, but do you think it would be feasible?

It wouldn't be that hard to write up a measure. The simplest way would simply be stating a static cash value + population growth + inflation/deflation (a negative, so to say) rate. Granted, that would be a rediculously simple rule; better ones could be made defining a cap on the amount of GDP that the government could utilize, for example.

I already know that most of you would disagree with such a limit, but I ask you to consider the possibility outside of political bias. That said, remember that minimal spending levels could also be put into place.
