Ron DeSantis(@RonDeSantis):In the mid-1990s the national debt was roughly $5 trillion and there was a push for a federal balanced budget amendment. In fact, the vote in the US Senate on the BBA fell just one vote shy of passage. Imagine how different the fiscal trajectory of the country would have been had that requirement been adopted? Would anyone have predicted at that time that 30 years later the debt would reach $40 trillion?
