This joint resolution from the Montana Senate and House of Representatives expresses concern over the federal government's fiscal and monetary policies, which are perceived to be detrimental to the citizens of Montana and the broader United States. It highlights alarming statistics regarding the increasing federal debt, which has risen from $21.2 trillion in 2016 to an expected $55 trillion by 2034, and the significant rise in interest payments on this debt. The resolution emphasizes the negative impact of inflation on essential goods and services, asserting that the current fiscal approach disproportionately harms the middle class while benefiting the wealthy and corporations.

The resolution calls for Congress to take immediate action to implement disciplined fiscal rules, such as a balanced budget amendment and potentially a gold-linked dollar, to address the nation's growing debt and deficits. It urges other state legislatures to join Montana in sending similar resolutions to Congress, demanding accountability and action to mitigate the financial vulnerabilities facing the country. The resolution concludes by directing that copies be sent to Montana's Congressional Delegation and the leadership of other state legislatures.
