Governor Kasich's been traveling the country pushing for a constitutional amendment requiring the federal government to balance its budget. The national debt has risen to $18 trillion, and some feel it threatens the country's future prosperity. We'll talk about that, the politics of a new amendment, and why others feel it won't lead to fiscal responsibility.

Steve Stivers, US Congressman from Ohio's 15th district

Dale Butland, Columbus-based Democratic consultant and a former press secretary and Ohio chief of staff to U.S. Sen. John Glenn
