A balanced budget law is pro-cyclical because when the economy enters a recession (GDP decreases), the amount of production the government is able to tax decreases, leading to a decrease in government revenue. The government is unable to spend at a deficit, so the government must decrease expenditures. Government expenditures make up a substantial portion of GDP, so GDP decreases even more.
