No Bailout for States

Statement

You may have seen in the news that states like California and Illinois, among others, are billions of dollars in debt. I recently joined several of my colleagues in introducing legislation prohibiting the federal government from bailing these states out of their financial predicaments. This legislation is a warning to them that they should not look to the federal government for a handout.

Those states put themselves in that position and I do not believe the frugal people of Idaho should have to pay for their freewheel spending. Difficult decisions were made on the state budget in Idaho and folks have determined to live within their means. Other states need to as well.
