Probably not in the near future.  This is one of those ideas that gets talked about, but is never acted on.  And why should it be?  Congress has a responsibility to balance the federal budget, whether the law requires it or not.  Most states already have balanced budget requirements, and many of them do NOT currently have balanced budgets.  So what makes anyone think it'll work at the federal level, where spending is even more out of control?
