Maura Healey: “State governments have to balance their budgets.”

“I have to balance a budget every single year, which is why. And the federal government does not. Yeah. Listening to this. You know what? And I'm no different from any households. … State governments have to balance their budgets. … the lives and the circumstance of households, of families, of people in our states.
