Audit the Federal Reserve, balance the budget, and stop burdening future generations with trillions in IOUs.
Balance the federal budget.
Occurrences
Evidence
Under "Fiscal Responsibility," the campaign site says: "Stop reckless spending and runaway debt. Audit the Federal Reserve, balance the budget, and stop burdening future generations with trillions in IOUs."
Treasury says year-end data show that "the deficit for FY 2024 was $1.8 trillion" and that total federal borrowing from the public increased to finance the deficit.
Congress.gov shows H.J.Res.78 was introduced on March 21, 2022; Massie was listed among the cosponsors of a proposal to require a balanced budget amendment.
Assessments
The promised outcome was to balance the federal budget. The evidence shows the federal budget remained in deficit, including a $1.8 trillion deficit for FY 2024, so the outcome was not delivered. Massie did make a concrete legislative attempt by cosponsoring H.J.Res.78 in 2022 to require a balanced budget amendment, but that proposal was not enacted and did not produce a balanced federal budget.
