Under normal circumstances I would say no, but the circumstances are DIRE. Our representatives have balanced the budget only twice in my lifetime (I am 50). Our national Debt is 100% of GDP (counting public and private), we have robbed social security to prop up or debt, we teeter on insolvency annually, and congress (republicans and democrats) have 0% interest in fixing the problem. I would prefer a balanced budget amendment, and term limits, but this is better than nothing.
