“Joining our federal leaders, we sounded the alarm on the massive and rapidly growing $37 trillion national debt,” stated Comptroller Nieshalla, Chairwoman of the National Debt Crisis Task Force for SFOF. “I can attest to how state financial officers from across the country understand the gravity of this problem, and we are committed for the long haul to support our President and Congress to tackle deficit spending and the debt – and to restore America’s fiscalnSolvency.”

Also highlighted was U.S. Senate Resolution 600, which received a unanimous vote in 2024, for declaring that the debt is a national security threat and that deficit spending is “reckless, unsustainable and dangerous.” Gov. Braun authored this resolution while serving as U.S. Senator and recently the Indiana Senate overwhelmingly passed a resolution to mirror U.S. SR 600 in an effort to bring further awareness to Hoosiers on the severity of the U.S. debt problem.

Adding to a growing movement from the states calling for federal solvency, the American Legislative Exchange Council approved Indiana’s resolution on the national debt to serve as a model for other states nationwide to adopt.
