Ron Paul said this in 1984.

Imagine an alternate reality where the USA elected Dr. Ron Paul president in 1984, passed a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget in 1985, paid off its debt by 1992, and never allowed the federal government nor any state to runa deficit again because any cash flow shortfall automatically triggered an increase in all tax rates by double the percentage of the shortfall. So if the government of the State of California spent 10% more than they took in in 2023, they would see all tax rates automatically increase by 20% in 2024, which would provide pressure on their state government to stop spending.
