Does anyone here know exactly the "Balanced Budget Amendment" was all about?

I personally think that it was just a load of manure that Reagan spread
before the elections, but did anyone out there really take it seriously?  I
mean, how can anyone say, with a straight face, that he wants a law saying
that the budget must be balanced, when he himself can't do the same thing?

(Anyone here remember Gary Gilmore?  (same line of thinking) )
