Periodic insanity is better than continuous; just as Constitutional democracy is better than Absolutism.

If you cannot have freedom and a balanced budget then why did the USA have freedom and a balanced budget in 1835?

Constitutions are easily inverted with amendments.
The voters periodically go insane and they always want a jubilee.

We have laws and Constitutions to impede that.
Without those, there is only force.

Those who say 100% of the US budget pays for welfare are wrong.

No, it's just three-quarters of the budget that goes to welfare, entitlements, and subsidies.
However a lot of the remaining quarter has been converted into the same by regulations.

You're right about the present system, but it could be changed.
Cease to enforce usurious contracts, and no one will buy interest-bearing bonds.
Or enforce the original Westminster principle of "no parliament may bind its successors" and then every election would be a sovereign default
