15. Aside from what's already mentioned-- such an amendment won't stop debt...

We already have billions of "off budget" expenses, like most of the Iraq war, and that won't stop.

The loopholes would be astounding. Should it become unconstitutional to borrow to pay the bills, a new entity will be set up to do the borrowing-- Social Security will be set up as a quasi-governmental corporation like the Post Office and allowed have its own debt pool. The Pentagon, too, and maybe the federal judiciary... Everything the government does will be privatized to some extent and the loans backed by the government.

What a mess it would be.
