There's a compromise that would allow governments to run deficits during recession but force a surplus when the economy's doing alright, so you end up with a balanced budget over business cycles instead of the idiotic yearly requirement, like in Sweden. That would be worth looking at. I'm not a fan of the standard Republican proposals - fiscal prudence is a good thing, but there's nothing prudent about sacrificing economic recovery on the altar of dogma.
