Gov. DeSantis returns to Idaho to renew campaign for a balanced budget amendment
DeSantis urges Idaho to join 28 states calling for a Balanced Budget Amendment to address the bipartisan debt crisis nearing $38 trillion, citing urgent fiscal risks.
- On Thursday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis joined Idaho Senate President Pro Tempore Kelly Anthon and House Majority Leader Jason Monks in Boise to renew a push for a balanced budget amendment.
- Framing the issue as an emergency, DeSantis argued the national debt has risen from about $38 trillion, warning the country can't keep adding debt at this level.
- DeSantis urged state certification, noting 28 states have certified and nearing 33 would pressure Congress to act, while 34 states are needed to introduce and 38 to change the Constitution.
- Idaho leaders note local budget strain after more than $400 million in tax cuts, with Gov. Brad Little imposing agency spending holdbacks last year and proposing cuts earlier this month.
- Having visited last March, DeSantis said he returned because Idaho was 'close' last year and he supports a term limits amendment tied to the debt problem.
