Yes, that time period is 3 years. If we touch balance for a short time during that 3 years, another 3 years of unbalance can resume. Any rational person would understand that as well...if you hadn't left it out.

Complete BS. We are shrinking and will continue to do so because our current Section 1 allows it. Worse, MEC bureaucrats like yourself defend it.
