Answer to Question 1

A balanced budget amendment would destabilize the economy. It would make the business cycle more pronounced exacerbating the problem of unemployment in particular. This is because as the economy contracts, the deficit will rise due to the presence of the automatic stabilizers. Attempts to reduce the deficit, by raising taxes and/or curbing government spending, will reduce total spending (aggregate demand) further, worsening the recession.

Answer to Question 2
