…FL voters overwhelmingly passed a resolution this new congress and Ogabe might want to take note of:

71.88% FOR
21.12% AGAINST

Balancing the Federal Budget. – A Nonbinding Referendum Calling for an Amendment to the United States Constitution.

In order to stop the uncontrolled growth of our national debt and prevent excessive borrowing by the Federal Government, which threatens our economy and national security, should the United States Constitution be amended to require a balanced federal budget without raising taxes?

This got ~3.5M votes “for” too, so it wasn’t some obscure NB resolution people paid no attention to that only got 50K votes.

71.88 FREAKING PERCENT
That’s “mandate” range percentages
