U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) today reintroduced a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution requiring the President and Congress to enact annual balanced budgets.
Like the measure Hyde-Smith introduced in the 116th Congress, the joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment outlining requirements for the submission and approval of annual balanced budgets.

Our national response to the coronavirus pandemic has accelerated federal spending at a rate that compounds our already serious debt problems. The new deficit spending is a necessary answer to a national health emergency, but it would be completely irresponsible not to establish a strong framework from which to tackle our nations long-term fiscal problemsand ultimately the future of this great country, she said.
