This week Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla) testified in the Kentucky House of Representatives on behalf of a resolution of the states asking Congress to submit a balanced budget amendment to the US Constitution to the states for ratification. This inspired Gov. Andy Beshear (D-Ky) to identify DeSantis as the worst governor in the country in response to a question by Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show."
"First of all, the very idea of another governor barging into my state in an effort to get them to approve something I don't support is intrusive," Beshear explained. "Second, forcing the federal government to adopt a balanced budget as a matter of policy is a bad idea. The feds have the power to create money. Why shouldn't they use that power rather than limiting their spending to stay within the revenues they collect from taxes? Voters don't like the idea of having to pay more taxes. Borrowing money to fund expenditures defers the burden to future generations, people too young to vote now or even not yet born."
DeSantis asserted that "during the pandemic, Gov. Beshear sent State Police to try to block people from worshipping on Easter Sunday. He's also an enthusiastic advocate for genital mutilations of minors and allowing biological men to compete against biological women in sports, invade female spaces like locker rooms and lavatories. Being called the 'worst' by him is a badge of honor."
In related news, state Auditor Allison Ball called Beshears' $46 million in advertising and out-of-state travel costs "lavish spending on the taxpayer's dime. The governor tried to brush off our findings as a 'political attack,' but failed to address all of the most concerning expenditures we testified about, and he has provided no proof to support his assertions."

Andy, do you job that you were elected to do and lead your people in a righteousness manner.
If the Federal Government can print its own money, why do we need any tax revenue, seriously according to this moron printing money to avoid tax increase, why not print 100% of the money government needs instead of taxing anything.
