divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member
of the Committee on the Budget and one hour on the subject of
economic goals and policies equally divided and controlled by
Rep. Brady of Texas and Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York or
their respective designees. The resolution waives all points of
order against consideration of the concurrent resolution and
provides that the concurrent resolution shall be considered as
read. The resolution makes in order only those amendments
printed in this report. Each such amendment may be offered only
in the order printed in this report, may be offered only by a
Member designated in this report, shall be considered as read,
shall be debatable for the time specified in this report
equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an
opponent, and shall not be subject to amendment. The resolution
waives all points of order against the amendments printed in
this report. The resolution provides that if more than one such
amendment is adopted, then only the one receiving the greater
number of affirmative votes shall be considered as finally
adopted. In the case of a tie for the greater number of
affirmative votes, then only the last amendment to receive that
number of affirmative votes shall be considered as finally
adopted. The resolution provides, upon the conclusion of
consideration of the concurrent resolution for amendment, a
final period of general debate, which shall not exceed 10
minutes equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking
minority member of the Committee on the Budget. The resolution
permits the chair of the Budget Committee to offer amendments

Budget Act of 1974 to achieve mathematical consistency. The
resolution provides that the concurrent resolution shall not be
subject to a demand for division of the question of its

SUMMARY OF THE AMENDMENTS MADE IN ORDER

1. Grijalva (AZ), Ellison (MN), Pocan (WI), Lee, Barbara
(CA), Schakowsky (IL), Conyers (MI), McDermott (WA):
CONGRESSIONAL PROGRESSIVE CAUCUS SUBSTITUTE establishes funding
levels to fix an economy that, for too long, has failed to
provide the opportunities American families need to get ahead.
The budget creates 8.4 million high quality jobs, while
reducing the deficit and providing a boost to America's long-
term global competitiveness. (30 minutes)
2. Butterfield (NC), Scott, Bobby (VA), Lee, Barbara (CA),
Moore, Gwen (WI): CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS SUBSTITUTE makes
significant investments in education, job training,
transportation and infrastructure, and advanced research and
development programs that will accelerate our economic
recovery. It includes funding for a comprehensive jobs bill and
targeted investments to reduce and eradicate poverty in
America. Additionally, the CBC budget protects the social
safety net without cutting Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid,
or SNAP. The CBC budget makes tough but responsible decisions
to raise new revenue by making our tax system fairer, saving
more than $1.9 trillion on the deficit over the next decade.
The CBC Budget will put our nation on a sustainable fiscal path
by reducing our annual budget deficit to 2.3% of GDP by FY
2025. (30 minutes)
3. Stutzman (IN), Flores (TX): REPUBLICAN STUDY COMMITTEE
SUBSTITUTE establishes the budget for the United States
Government for fiscal year 2016 and setting forth appropriate
budgetary levels for fiscal years 2017 through 2025. Balances
in six years, encourages pro-growth tax reform, and provides
for our national defense. (30 minutes)
4. Van Hollen (MD): DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS SUBSTITUTE reflects
policies that will boost the economy to create more broadly
shared prosperity while putting the federal budget on a
fiscally responsible path, with debt declining as a share of
the economy. It provides for tax policies that help the middle
class and those working their way into the middle class by
raising the take-home pay of hard-working Americans, and
rejects the sequester caps to make needed investments that
create jobs for those still seeking work, that educate our
children and prepare them for success, and that sharpen the
nation's competitive edge. (30 minutes)
5. Price, Tom (GA): SUBSTITUTE This amendment is identical
to the reported resolution. The total level of new budget
authority for the Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on
Terrorism function (Function 970) remains at $94 billion in
Fiscal Year 2016. The amendment also retains a deficit-neutral
reserve fund for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on
Terrorism in section 513. This section permits the Chair of the
Committee on the Budget to adjust the 302(a) allocations to the
Committee on Appropriations, and other appropriate levels, for
any appropriations measure that provides new budget authority
for Overseas Contingency Operations in excess of $73.5 billion
up to $94 billion in Fiscal Year 2016. (10 minutes)
6. Price, Tom (GA): SUBSTITUTE The amendment increases new
budget authority for the Overseas Contingency Operations/Global
War on Terrorism function (Function 970) by $2 billion, from
$94 billion to $96 billion in Fiscal Year 2016. The amendment
increases the outlay amounts for OCO over the period of Fiscal
Years 2016 to 2025. As a consequence of the increase in OCO/
GWOT, conforming increases are made in total budget authority
and outlays, deficits, interest, debt subject to limit, and
debt held by the public. Even with the increase in overall
budget and outlays, the budget resolution remains in balance in
Fiscal Year 2024 and thereafter. The amendment also strikes a
deficit-neutral reserve fund for Overseas Contingency
Operations/Global War on Terrorism in section 513 of the
reported resolution. This section would have permitted the
Chairman of the Committee on the Budget to adjust the 302(a)
allocations to the Committee on Appropriations for any
appropriations measure that provided new budget authority in
excess of $73.5 billion up to $94 billion in Fiscal Year 2016.
(30 minutes)

TITLE II--ESTIMATES OF DIRECT SPENDING

SEC. 201. DIRECT SPENDING.

(a) Means-tested Direct Spending.--
(1) For means-tested direct spending, the average
rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the
10-year period preceding fiscal year 2015 is 6.8
percent.
(2) For means-tested direct spending, the estimated
average rate of growth in the total level of outlays
during the 11-year period beginning with fiscal year
2015 is 5.1 percent under current law.
(3) The following reforms are proposed in this
concurrent resolution for means-tested direct spending:
(A) The People's Budget implements a new tax
credit to reward Americans for their hard work.
This policy would provide a refundable tax
credit for two years for up to $800 for working
individuals earning less than $95,000 and up to
$1200 for households earning less than
$190,000. Modeled off the Making Work Pay tax
credit, this targeted tax credit would
immediately raise disposable income for low and
middle-income families.
(B) The People's Budget adopts President
Obama's Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) to
expand eligibility, including for childless
workers. Continues enhanced credits originally
implemented under the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act to target those most in need.
This includes extending the Child and Dependent
Care Credit and the American Opportunity Tax
Credit through 2024.
(C) The People's Budget includes the
President's proposal to boost the Child Tax
Credit maximum deduction to $3,000. It makes
key expansions permanent to protect 50 million
Americans who would otherwise be at jeopardy
for losing part or all of their EITC or CTC.
(D) The People's Budget creates a debt free
college that provides Federal matching program
to supports state efforts to expand investments
in higher education, bring down costs for
students, and increase aid to students to help
them cover the total cost of college attendance
without taking on debt. The program would
encourage innovation by states and colleges to
improve efficiency and enable speedy and less-
costly degree completion. By treating higher
education as a public good worth investing in,
we can once again make higher education
accessible to all.
(E) The People's Budget allows students
refinance their student loans at low rates and
allows private borrowers to shift to more
affordable government loans. Allowing student
borrowers to reduce the value of their debt
will free up income for purchases and will
create a job-creating ripple effect throughout
the entire economy.
(F) The People's Budget restores cuts made to
the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP) and permanently adopts the enhanced
levels established in the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act. The vast majority of SNAP
recipients are households with children,
seniors and individuals with disabilities, but
recent cuts lowered average benefits by $216 in
2014. Providing families with basic food
security through SNAP is one of the most
effective ways the Federal Government can
stimulate the economy.
(G) The People's Budget provides an
additional $10 billion for child nutrition
programs including program expansion and
improvements for summer meals; essential
improvements and expansion funding for
preschool nutrition including increases in meal
reimbursements to fulfill the new meal pattern,
an additional meal or snack for children in
long-term care, and expanded program
eligibility; and investments in school meals
and school kitchens.
(H) The People's Budget replaces the 40
percent excise tax with a public option to
allow the Secretary of Health and Human
Services to offer a public insurance option
within the health insurance marketplaces. This
ensures choice, competition, and stability in
coverage. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO)
estimates the premium costs for Americans under
the public option will be 7 to 8 percent lower
than costs in private exchange plans. The
repeal of the excise tax costs $87 billion
while savings from the public option are $218
billion.
(I) The People's Budget continues funding for
the entire CHIP program until 2019.
(J) The People's Budget protects States
programs by fully retaining maintenance of
effort requirements and eliminating any States
ability to arbitrarily implement enrollment
caps. Without action, Federal funding for CHIP
will expire jeopardizing the health care
coverage of more than 10 million children and
pregnant women.
(K) The People's Budget permits the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (HHS) to negotiate
prescription drug prices with pharmaceutical
manufacturers. Giving HHS the ability to
negotiate prices, as the Department of Veterans
Affairs currently does, will save Medicare $157
billion and will reduce costs for seniors.
(b) Nonmeans-tested Direct Spending.--
(1) For non means-tested direct spending, the average
rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the
10-year period preceding fiscal year 2015 is 5.4
percent.
(2) For non means-tested direct spending, the
estimated average rate of growth in the total level of
outlays during the 11-year period beginning with fiscal
year 2014 is 5.5 percent under current law.
(3) The following reforms are proposed in this
concurrent resolution for non means-tested direct
spending:
(A) The People's Budget allows those who have
lost a job through no fault of their own to
claim up to 99 weeks of unemployment benefits
in high-unemployment states for up to two
years. According to the Economic Policy
Institute, this would boost real GDP growth by
0.4 percentage points and increase employment
by 539,000 jobs in 2015.
(B) The People's Budget also adopts President
Obama's reforms to improve system solvencies
and incentivize job training.
(C) The People's Budget includes funding to
replace SGR with a payment system that focuses
on equity for primary care and protections for
low-income beneficiaries. The budget pays for
the reform through added overall revenues,
which does not require cost to be passed to
Medicare beneficiaries in any form.
(D) The People's Budget improves the
Affordable Care Act by repealing the excise tax
on high-priced health plans. Proponents of the
provision hoped that this tax would slow the
rate of growth of health costs, while raising
revenue. However, in an effort to avoid the
tax, employers who traditionally offer
excellent benefits have started offering less
generous plans. This is an ineffective tool to
bend the cost curve. Since the tax is attached
to premiums instead of coverage it has the
potential to hit plans it wasn't intended to
impact.
(E) The People's Budget establishes a
representative democracy that truly reflects
the diversity and values of our nation by
providing funding for the public financing of
campaigns. This gives a voice to small donors
that have been drowned out by dark money.
Public financing keeps politicians accountable
to the voters that elect them instead of to
special interest money. In the era of the
devastating Citizens United decision, big money
has taken the reins of our election process. It
is now more important than ever to provide
candidates with effective alternatives to
finance their campaigns.
(F) The People's Budget uses the Experimental
Price Index for the Elderly (CPI-E) to
calculate Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA) for
Federal retirement programs other than Social
Security. Affected programs include civil
service retirement, military retirement,
Supplemental Security Income, veteran's
pensions and compensations. CPI-E is the most
sensible and accurate measure of the real costs
that seniors face in retirement, current
underpricing of costs amount to cutting
benefits for those on fixed incomes.
(G) The People's Budget makes a down payment
of $820 billion to help close the nation's
infrastructure deficit while protecting against
climate change and creating millions of living
wage jobs. The budget also helps boost private
financing for critical state and local projects
by creating a public-private infrastructure
bank. The American Society of Civil Engineers
(ASCE) estimates that the United States will
need to invest upwards of $1 trillion above
current levels over the next decade just to
make required repairs to roads, bridges, water,
and energy systems.

(1) Assumptions.--In the House, for purposes of

use the baseline underlying the Congressional Budget

baseline are made subsequent to the adoption of this
concurrent resolution, then such chair shall determine
whether to use any of these adjustments when making
such estimates.
(2) Intent.--The authority set forth in paragraph (1)
should only be exercised if the estimates used to
determine the compliance of such measures with the
budgetary requirements included in the concurrent
resolution are inaccurate because adjustments made to
the baseline are inconsistent with the assumptions
underlying the budgetary levels set forth in this
concurrent resolution. Such inaccurate adjustments made
after the adoption of this concurrent resolution may
include selected adjustments for rulemaking, judicial
actions, adjudication, and interpretative rules that
have major budgetary effects and are inconsistent with
the assumptions underlying the budgetary levels set
forth in this concurrent resolution.

care-related provisions of the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010; and
(2) determine the most effective methods by which the
health care laws referred to in paragraph (1) shall be
repealed in their entirety.
(c) Revision of Budgetary Levels.--
(1) Submission.--Upon the submission to the Committee
on the Budget of the House of a recommendation that has
complied with its reconciliation instructions solely by
virtue of section 310(b) of the Congressional Budget
Act of 1974, the chair of the Committee on the Budget
may file with the House appropriately revised
allocations under section 302(a) of such Act and
revised functional levels and aggregates.
(2) Conference report.--Upon the submission to the
House of a conference report recommending a
reconciliation bill or resolution in which a committee
has complied with its reconciliation instructions
solely by virtue of this section, the chair of the
Committee on the Budget of the House may file with the
House appropriately revised allocations under section
302(a) of such Act and revised functional levels and
aggregates.

pursuant to this subsection shall be considered to be
allocations and aggregates established by the

301 of such Act.

Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and set forth in section 201.
(b) Publication.--In the House, the chair of the Committee on
the Budget may cause the material prepared pursuant to
subsection (a) to be printed in the Congressional Record on the
appropriate date, but not later than the date set forth in this
title on which committees must submit their recommendations to
the Committee on the Budget in order to comply with the
reconciliation instructions set forth in section 201.

SEC. 204. POLICY STATEMENT ON RECONCILATION TO REPEAL OBAMACARE.

It is the policy of this resolution that the reconciliation
submissions set forth in section 201 shall fully repeal the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-
148), and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of

TITLE VI--POLICY STATEMENTS

SEC. 601. POLICY STATEMENT ON HEALTH CARE LAW REPEAL.

It is the policy of this resolution that the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148), and
the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
(Public Law 111-152) should be repealed.

SEC. 602. POLICY STATEMENT ON REPLACING THE PRESIDENT'S HEALTH CARE
LAW.

SEC. 603. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICARE.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) More than 50 million Americans depend on Medicare
for their health security.
(2) The Medicare Trustees Report has repeatedly
recommended that Medicare's long-term financial
challenges be addressed soon. Each year without reform,
the financial condition of Medicare becomes more
precarious and the threat to those in or near
retirement becomes more pronounced. According to the
Medicare Trustees Report--
(A) the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund will be
exhausted in 2030 and unable to pay scheduled
benefits;
(B) Medicare enrollment is expected to
increase by over 50 percent in the next two
decades, as 10,000 baby boomers reach
retirement age each day;
(C) enrollees remain in Medicare three times
longer than at the outset of the program;
(D) current workers' payroll contributions
pay for current beneficiaries;
(E) in 2013, the ratio was 3.2 workers per
beneficiary, but this falls to 2.3 in 2030 and
continues to decrease over time;
(F) most Medicare beneficiaries receive about
three dollars in Medicare benefits for every
one dollar paid into the program; and
(G) Medicare spending is growing faster than
the economy and Medicare outlays are currently
rising at a rate of 6.5 percent per year over
the next 10 years. According to the
Congressional Budget Office's 2014 Long-Term
Budget Outlook, spending on Medicare is
projected to reach 5 percent of gross domestic
product (GDP) by 2043 and 9.3 percent of GDP by
2089.
(3) Failing to address this problem will leave
millions of American seniors without adequate health
security and younger generations burdened with enormous
debt to pay for spending levels that cannot be
sustained.
(b) Policy on Medicare Reform.--It is the policy of this
resolution to protect those in or near retirement from any
disruptions to their Medicare benefits and offer future
beneficiaries the same health care options available to Members
of Congress.
(c) Assumptions.--This resolution assumes reform of the
Medicare program such that:
(1) Current Medicare benefits are preserved for those
in or near retirement.
(2) For future generations, when they reach
eligibility, Medicare is reformed to provide a premium
support payment and a selection of guaranteed health
coverage options from which recipients can choose a
plan that best suits their needs.
(3) Medicare will maintain traditional fee-for-
service as an option.
(4) Medicare will provide additional assistance for
lower-income beneficiaries and those with greater
health risks.
(5) Medicare spending is put on a sustainable path
and the Medicare program becomes solvent over the long-
term.
(6) The Medicare eligibility age is gradually
increased to keep pace with increases in longevity.
(7) Medicare is simplified by combining parts A and B
and reforms to Medigap plans are implemented.

SEC. 604. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICAID STATE FLEXIBILITY BLOCK GRANTS.

It is the policy of this resolution that Medicaid and the
Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) should be block
granted to the States in a manner prescribed by the State
Health Flexibility Act.

SEC. 605. POLICY STATEMENT ON SOCIAL SECURITY.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) More than 55 million retirees, individuals with
disabilities, and survivors depend on Social Security.
Since enactment, Social Security has served as a vital
leg on the ``three-legged stool'' of retirement
security, which includes employer provided pensions as
well as personal savings.
(2) The Social Security Trustees Report has
repeatedly recommended that Social Security's long-term
financial challenges be addressed soon. Each year
without reform, the financial condition of Social
Security becomes more precarious and the threat to
seniors and those receiving Social Security disability
benefits becomes more pronounced:
(A) In 2016, the Disability Insurance Trust
Fund will be exhausted and program revenues
will be unable to pay scheduled benefits.
(B) In 2033, the combined Old-Age and
Survivors and Disability Trust Funds will be
exhausted, and program revenues will be unable
to pay scheduled benefits.
(C) With the exhaustion of the Trust Funds in
2033, benefits will be cut nearly 25 percent
across the board, devastating those currently
in or near retirement and those who rely on
Social Security the most.
(3) The recession and continued low economic growth
have exacerbated the looming fiscal crisis facing
Social Security. The most recent CBO projections find
that Social Security will run cash deficits of $1.7
trillion over the next 10 years.
(4) Lower-income Americans rely on Social Security
for a larger proportion of their retirement income.
Therefore, reforms should take into consideration the
need to protect lower-income Americans' retirement
security.
(5) The Disability Insurance program provides an
essential income safety net for those with disabilities
and their families. According to the Congressional
Budget Office (CBO), between 1970 and 2012, the number
of people receiving disability benefits (both disabled
workers and their dependent family members) has
increased by over 300 percent from 2.7 million to over
10.9 million. This increase is not due strictly to
population growth or decreases in health. David Autor
and Mark Duggan have found that the increase in
individuals on disability does not reflect a decrease
in self-reported health. CBO attributes program growth
to changes in demographics, changes in the composition
of the labor force and compensation, as well as Federal
policies.
(6) If this program is not reformed, families who
rely on the lifeline that disability benefits provide
will face benefit cuts of up to 25 percent in 2016,
devastating individuals who need assistance the most.
(7) In the past, Social Security has been reformed on
a bipartisan basis, most notably by the ``Greenspan
Commission'' which helped to address Social Security
shortfalls for over a generation.
(8) Americans deserve action by the President, the
House, and the Senate to preserve and strengthen Social
Security. It is critical that bipartisan action be
taken to address the looming insolvency of Social
Security. In this spirit, this resolution creates a
bipartisan opportunity to find solutions by requiring
policymakers to ensure that Social Security remains a
critical part of the safety net.
(b) Policy on Social Security.--It is the policy of this
resolution that Congress should work on a bipartisan basis to
make Social Security sustainably solvent. This resolution
assumes these reforms will include the following:
(1) Adoption of a more accurate measure for
calculating cost of living adjustments.
(2) Adoption of adjustments to the full retirement
age to reflect longevity.
(3) Makes Social Security benefits more progressive
over the long term, providing those most in need with a
safety net in retirement.
(c) Policy on Disability Insurance.--It is the policy of this
resolution that Congress and the President should enact
legislation on a bipartisan basis to reform the Disability
Insurance program prior to its insolvency in 2016 and should
not raid the Social Security retirement system without reforms
to the Disability Insurance system. This resolutions assumes
that reforms to the Disability Insurance program will include--
(1) encouraging work;
(2) updates of the eligibility rules;
(3) reducing fraud and abuse; and
(4) enactment of H.R. 918, the Social Security
Disability Insurance and Unemployment Benefits Double
Dip Elimination Act, to prohibit individuals from
drawing benefits from both programs at the same time.

SEC. 606. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEANS-TESTED WELFARE PROGRAMS.

(a) Findings.--The House finds that:
(1) Too many people are trapped at the bottom rungs
of the economic ladder, and every citizen should have
the opportunity to rise, escape from poverty, and
achieve their own potential.
(2) In 1996, President Bill Clinton and congressional
Republicans enacted reforms that have moved families
off of Federal programs and enabled them to provide for
themselves.
(3) According to the most recent projections, over
the next 10 years we will spend approximately $9.7
trillion on means-tested welfare programs.
(4) Today, there are approximately 92 Federal
programs that provide benefits specifically to poor and
low-income Americans.
(5) Taxpayers deserve clear and transparent
information on how well these programs are working, and
how much the Federal Government is spending on means-
tested welfare.
(6) It should be the goal of welfare programs to
encourage work and put people on a path to self-
reliance.
(b) Policy on Means-tested Welfare Programs.--It is the
policy of this resolution that--
(1) the welfare system should be reformed to give
states flexibility to implement and improve safety net
programs and that to be eligible for benefits, able
bodied adults without dependents should be required to
work or be preparing for work, including enrolling in
educational or job training programs, contributing
community service, or participating in a supervised job
search; and
(2) the President's budget should disclose, in a
clear and transparent manner, the aggregate amount of
Federal welfare expenditures, as well as an estimate of
State and local spending for this purpose, over the
next ten years.

SEC. 607. POLICY STATEMENT ON REFORM OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

(a) SNAP.--It is the policy of the resolution that the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program be reformed so that:
(1) Nutrition assistance funds should be distributed
to the states as a block grant with funding subject to
the annual discretionary appropriations process.
(2) Funds from the grant must be used by the states
to establish and maintain a work activation program for
able-bodied adults without dependents.
(3) It is the goal of this proposal to move those in
need off of the assistance rolls and back into the
workforce and towards self-sufficiency.
(4) In the House, the chair of the Committee on the
Budget is permitted to revise allocations, aggregates,
and other appropriate levels, including discretionary
limits, accordingly.
(b) Assumptions.--This resolution assumes that, pending the
enactment of reforms described in (a), the conversion of the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program into a flexible State
allotment tailored to meet each State's needs.

SEC. 608. POLICY STATEMENT ON WORK REQUIREMENTS.

It is the policy of this resolution that the work
requirements in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
block grant program should be preserved as called for in H.R.
890, 113th Congress.

SEC. 609. POLICY STATEMENT ON A CARBON TAX.

It is the policy of this resolution that a carbon tax would
be detrimental to American families and businesses, and is not
in the best interest of the United States.

SEC. 610. POLICY STATEMENT ON REGULATION OF GREENHOUSE GASES BY THE
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY.

It is the policy of this resolution that the Environmental
Protection Agency should be prohibited from promulgating any
regulation concerning, taking action relating to, or taking
into consideration the emission of a greenhouse gas to address
climate change.

SEC. 611. POLICY STATEMENT ON ECONOMIC GROWTH AND JOB CREATION.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Although the United States economy technically
emerged from recession more than 5 years ago, the
subsequent recovery has felt more like a malaise than a
rebound. Real gross domestic product GDP growth over
the past 5 years has averaged slightly more than 2
percent, well below the 3.2 percent historical trend
rate of growth in the United States. Although the
economy has shown some welcome signs of improvement of
late, the Nation remains in the midst of the weakest
economic recovery of the modern era.
(2) Looking ahead, CBO expects the economy to grow by
an average of just 2.3 percent over the next 10 years.
That level of economic growth is simply unacceptable
and insufficient to expand opportunities and the
incomes of millions of middle-income Americans.
(3) Sluggish economic growth has also contributed to
the country's fiscal woes. Subpar growth means that
revenue levels are lower than they would otherwise be
while government spending (e.g. welfare and income-
support programs) is higher. Clearly, there is a dire
need for policies that will spark higher rates of
economic growth and greater, higher-quality job
opportunities
(4) Although job gains have been trending up of late,
other aspects of the labor market remain weak. The
labor force participation rate, for instance, is
hovering just under 63 percent, close to the lowest
level since 1978. Long-term unemployment also remains a
problem. Of the roughly 8.7 million people who are
currently unemployed, 2.7 million (more than 30
percent) have been unemployed for more than 6 months.
Long-term unemployment erodes an individual's job
skills and detaches them from job opportunities. It
also undermines the long-term productive capacity of
the economy.
(5) Perhaps most important, wage gains and income
growth have been subpar for middle-class Americans.
Average hourly earnings of private-sector workers have
increased by just 1.6 percent over the past year. Prior
to the recession, average hourly earnings were tracking
close to 4 percent. Likewise, average income levels
have remained flat in recent years. Real median
household income is just under $52,000, one of the
lowest levels since 1995.
(6) The unsustainable fiscal trajectory has cast a
shadow on the country's economic outlook. investors and
businesses make decisions on a forward-looking basis.
they know that today's large debt levels are simply
tomorrow's tax hikes, interest rate increases, or
inflation and they act accordingly. This debt overhang,
and the uncertainty it generates, can weigh on growth,
investment, and job creation.
(7) Nearly all economists, including those at the
CBO, conclude that reducing budget deficits (thereby
bending the curve on debt levels is a net positive for
economic growth over time. The logic is that deficit
reduction creates long-term economic benefits because
it increases the pool of national savings and boosts
investment, thereby raising economic growth and job
creation.
(8) CBO analyzed the House Republican fiscal year
2016 budget resolution and found it would increase real
output per capita (a proxy for a country's standard of
living) by about $1,000 in 2025 and roughly $5,000 by
2040 relative to the baseline path. That means more
income and greater prosperity for all Americans.
(9) In contrast, if the Government remains on the
current fiscal path, future generations will face ever-
higher debt service costs, a decline in national
savings, and a ``crowding out'' of private investment.
This dynamic will eventually lead to a decline in
economic output and a diminution in our country's
standard of living.
(10) The key economic challenge is determining how to
expand the economic pie, not how best to divide up and
re-distribute a shrinking pie.
(11) A stronger economy is vital to lowering deficit
levels and eventually balancing the budget. According
to CBO, if annual real GDP growth is just 0.1
percentage point higher over the budget window,
deficits would be reduced by $326 billion.
(12) This budget resolution therefore embraces pro-
growth policies, such as fundamental tax reform, that
will help foster a stronger economy, greater
opportunities and more job creation.
(b) Policy on Economic Growth and Job Creation.--It is the
policy of this resolution to promote faster economic growth and
job creation. By putting the budget on a sustainable path, this
resolution ends the debt-fueled uncertainty holding back job
creators. Reforms to the tax code will put American businesses
and workers in a better position to compete and thrive in the
21st century global economy. This resolution targets the
regulatory red tape and cronyism that stack the deck in favor
of special interests. All of the reforms in this resolution
serve as means to the larger end of helping the economy grow
and expanding opportunity for all Americans.

SEC. 612. POLICY STATEMENT ON TAX REFORM.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) A world-class tax system should be simple, fair,
and promote (rather than impede) economic growth. The
United States tax code fails on all three counts - it
is notoriously complex, patently unfair, and highly
inefficient. The tax code's complexity distorts
decisions to work, save, and invest, which leads to
slower economic growth, lower wages, and less job
creation.
(2) Over the past decade alone, there have been more
than 4,400 changes to the tax code, more than one per
day. Many of the major changes over the years have
involved carving out special preferences, exclusions,
or deductions for various activities or groups. These
loopholes add up to more than $1 trillion per year and
make the code unfair, inefficient, and highly complex.
(3) The large amount of tax preferences that pervade
the code end up narrowing the tax base. A narrow tax
base, in turn, requires much higher tax rates to raise
a given amount of revenue.
(4) It is estimated that American taxpayers end up
spending $160 billion and roughly 6 billion hours a
year complying with the tax code - a waste of time and
resources that could be used in more productive
activities.
(5) Standard economic theory shows that high marginal
tax rates dampen the incentives to work, save, and
invest, which reduces economic output and job creation.
Lower economic output, in turn, mutes the intended
revenue gain from higher marginal tax rates.
(6) Roughly half of United States active business
income and half of private sector employment are
derived from business entities (such as partnerships, S
corporations, and sole proprietorships) that are taxed
on a ``pass-through'' basis, meaning the income flows
through to the tax returns of the individual owners and
is taxed at the individual rate structure rather than
at the corporate rate. Small businesses, in particular,
tend to choose this form for Federal tax purposes, and
the top Federal rate on such small business income
reaches 44.6 percent. For these reasons, sound economic
policy requires lowering marginal rates on these pass-
through entities.
(7) The United States corporate income tax rate
(including Federal, State, and local taxes) sums to
just over 39 percent, the highest rate in the
industrialized world. Tax rates this high suppress
wages and discourage investment and job creation,
distort business activity, and put American businesses
at a competitive disadvantage with foreign competitors.
(8) By deterring potential investment, the United
States corporate tax restrains economic growth and job
creation. The United States tax rate differential with
other countries also fosters a variety of complicated
multinational corporate behaviors intended to avoid the
tax, which have the effect of moving the tax base
offshore, destroying American jobs, and decreasing
corporate revenue.
(9) The ``worldwide'' structure of United States
international taxation essentially taxes earnings of
United States firms twice, putting them at a
significant competitive disadvantage with competitors
with more competitive international tax systems.
(10) Reforming the United States tax code to a more
competitive international system would boost the
competitiveness of United States companies operating
abroad and it would also greatly reduce tax avoidance.
(11) The tax code imposes costs on American workers
through lower wages, on consumers in higher prices, and
on investors in diminished returns.
(12) Revenues have averaged about 17.5 percent of the
economy throughout modern American history. Revenues
rise above this level under current law to 18.3 percent
of the economy by the end of the 10-year budget window.
(13) Attempting to raise revenue through tax
increases to meet out-of-control spending would damage
the economy.
(14) This resolution also rejects the idea of
instituting a carbon tax in the United States, which
some have offered as a ``new'' source of revenue. Such
a plan would damage the economy, cost jobs, and raise
prices on American consumers.
(15) Closing tax loopholes to fund spending does not
constitute fundamental tax reform.
(16) The goal of tax reform should be to curb or
eliminate loopholes and use those savings to lower tax
rates across the board--not to fund more wasteful
Government spending. Tax reform should be revenue-
neutral and should not be an excuse to raise taxes on
the American people. Washington has a spending problem,
not a revenue problem.
(b) Policy on Tax Reform.--It is the policy of this
resolution that Congress should enact legislation that provides
for a comprehensive reform of the United States tax code to
promote economic growth, create American jobs, increase wages,
and benefit American consumers, investors, and workers through
fundamental tax reform that is revenue-neutral on a dynamic
basis that provides for the following:
(1) Targets revenue neutrality (relative to CBO's
baseline revenue projection) based on a dynamic score
that takes into account the macroeconomic effects of
reform.
(2) Collapses the current seven brackets for
individuals into just two, with a top rate of 25
percent.
(3) Simplifies the tax code to ensure that fewer
Americans will be required to itemize deductions.
(4) Gives equal tax treatment to individual and
employer healthcare expenditures modeled on the
American Health Care Reform Act.
(5) Encourages charitable giving.
(6) Repeals the Death Tax.
(7) Eliminates marriage penalties and encourages
families.
(8) Repeals the Alternative Minimum Tax.
(9) Reforms the current Earned Income Tax Credit
(EITC) that is given in a yearly lump-sum payment and
replaces it with a program that would allow workers to
exempt a portion of their payroll taxes every month.
(10) Reduces double taxation by lowering the top
corporate rate to 25 percent and setting a maximum
long-term capital gains tax rate at 15 percent.
(11) Sets a maximum dividend tax rate at 15 percent.
(12) Encourages net investment, savings, and
entrepreneurial activity.
(13) Moves to a competitive international system of
taxation.
(14) Ends distortionary special interest giveaways,
such as the Wind Production Tax Credit.

SEC. 613. POLICY STATEMENT ON TRADE.

SEC. 614. POLICY STATEMENT ON ENERGY PRODUCTION.

It is the policy of this resolution that the Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and currently unavailable areas of the
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) should be open for energy
exploration and production. To ensure States' rights, states
are given the option to withdrawal from leasing within certain
areas of the OCS. Specifically, a State, through enactment of a
State statute, may withdrawal from leasing from all or part of
any area within 75 miles of that State's coast.

SEC. 615. POLICY STATEMENT ON FEDERAL REGULATORY POLICY.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Excessive regulation at the Federal level has
hurt job creation and dampened the economy, slowing our
recovery from the economic recession.
(2) In the first two months of 2014 alone, the
Administration issued 13,166 pages of regulations
imposing more than $13 billion in compliance costs on
job creators and adding more than 16 million hours of
compliance paperwork.
(3) The Small Business Administration estimates that
the total cost of regulations is as high as $1.75
trillion per year. Since 2009, the White House has
generated over $494 billion in regulatory activity,
with an additional $87.6 billion in regulatory costs
currently pending.
(4) The Dodd-Frank financial services legislation
(Public Law 111-203) resulted in more than $17 billion
in compliance costs and saddled job creators with more
than 58 million hours of compliance paperwork.
(5) Implementation of the Affordable Care Act to date
has added 132.9 million annual hours of compliance
paperwork, imposing $24.3 billion of compliance costs
on the private sector and an $8 billion cost burden on
the states.
(6) The highest regulatory costs come from rules
issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA);
these regulations are primarily targeted at the coal
industry. In September 2013, the EPA proposed a rule
regulating greenhouse gas emissions from new coal-fired
power plants. The proposed standards are unachievable
with current commercially available technology,
resulting in a de-facto ban on new coal-fired power
plants. Additional regulations for existing coal plants
are expected in the summer of 2014.
(7) Coal-fired power plants provide roughly forty
percent of the United States electricity at a low cost.
Unfairly targeting the coal industry with costly and
unachievable regulations will increase energy prices,
disproportionately disadvantaging energy-intensive
industries like manufacturing and construction, and
will make life more difficult for millions of low-
income and middle class families already struggling to
pay their bills.
(8) Three hundred and thirty coal units are being
retired or converted as a result of EPA regulations.
Combined with the de-facto prohibition on new plants,
these retirements and conversions may further increase
the cost of electricity.
(9) A recent study by Purdue University estimates
that electricity prices in Indiana will rise 32 percent
by 2023, due in part to EPA regulations.
(10) The Heritage Foundation recently found that a
phase out of coal would cost 600,000 jobs by the end of
2023, resulting in an aggregate gross domestic product
decrease of $2.23 trillion over the entire period and
reducing the income of a family of four by $1,200 per
year. Of these jobs, 330,000 will come from the
manufacturing sector, with California, Texas, Ohio,
Illinois, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York, Indiana,
North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Georgia seeing the
highest job losses.
(b) Policy on Federal Regulation.--It is the policy of this
resolution that Congress should, in consultation with the
public burdened by excessive regulation, enact legislation
that--
(1) seeks to promote economic growth and job creation
by eliminating unnecessary red tape and streamlining
and simplifying Federal regulations;
(2) pursues a cost-effective approach to regulation,
without sacrificing environmental, health, safety
benefits or other benefits, rejecting the premise that
economic growth and environmental protection create an
either/or proposition;
(3) ensures that regulations do not
disproportionately disadvantage low-income Americans
through a more rigorous cost-benefit analysis, which
also considers who will be most affected by regulations
and whether the harm caused is outweighed by the
potential harm prevented;
(4) ensures that regulations are subject to an open
and transparent process, rely on sound and publicly
available scientific data, and that the data relied
upon for any particular regulation is provided to
Congress immediately upon request;
(5) frees the many commonsense energy and water
projects currently trapped in complicated bureaucratic
approval processes;
(6) maintains the benefits of landmark environmental,
health safety, and other statutes while scaling back
this administration's heavy-handed approach to
regulation, which has added $494 billion in mostly
ideological regulatory activity since 2009, much of
which flies in the face of these statutes' intended
purposes; and
(7) seeks to promote a limited government, which will
unshackle our economy and create millions of new jobs,
providing our Nation with a strong and prosperous
future and expanding opportunities for the generations
to come.
(8) Requires congressional approval of all new major
regulations (those with an impact of $50 million or
more) before enactment as opposed to current law in
which Congress must expressly disapprove of regulation
to prevent it from becoming law, which would keep
Congress engaged as to pending regulatory policy and
prevent costly and unsound policies from being
implemented and becoming effective.

SEC. 616. POLICY STATEMENT ON HIGHER EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY.

(a) Findings on Higher Education.--The House finds the
following:
(1) A well-educated workforce is critical to
economic, job, and wage growth.
(2) Roughly 20 million students are enrolled in
American colleges and universities.
(3) Over the past decade, tuition and fees have been
growing at an unsustainable rate. Between the 2004-2005
Academic Year and the 2014-2015 Academic Year--
(A) published tuition and fees at public 4-
year colleges and universities increased at an
average rate of 3.5 percent per year above the
rate of inflation;
(B) published tuition and fees at public two-
year colleges and universities increased at an
average rate of 2.5 percent per year above the
rate of inflation; and
(C) published tuition and fees at private
nonprofit 4-year colleges and universities
increased at an average rate of 2.2 percent per
year above the rate of inflation.
(4) Federal financial aid for higher education has
also seen a dramatic increase. The portion of the
Federal student aid portfolio composed of Direct Loans,
Federal Family Education Loans, and Perkins Loans with
outstanding balances grew by 119 percent between fiscal
year 2007 and fiscal year 2014.
(5) This spending has failed to make college more
affordable.
(6) In his 2012 State of the Union Address, President
Obama noted: ``We can't just keep subsidizing
skyrocketing tuition; we'll run out of money''.
(7) American students are chasing ever-increasing
tuition with ever-increasing debt. According to the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York, student debt now
stands at nearly $1.2 trillion. This makes student
loans the second largest balance of consumer debt,
after mortgage debt.
(8) Students are carrying large debt loads and too
many fail to complete college or end up defaulting on
these loans due to their debt burden and a weak economy
and job market.
(9) Based on estimates from the Congressional Budget
Office, the Pell Grant Program will face a fiscal
shortfall beginning in fiscal year 2017 and continuing
in each subsequent year in the current budget window.
(10) Failing to address these problems will
jeopardize access and affordability to higher education
for America's young people.
(b) Policy on Higher Education Affordability.--It is the
policy of this resolution to address the root drivers of
tuition inflation, by--
(1) targeting Federal financial aid to those most in
need;
(2) streamlining programs that provide aid to make
them more effective;
(3) maintaining the maximum Pell grant award level at
$5,775 in each year of the budget window; and
(4) removing regulatory barriers in higher education
that act to restrict flexibility and innovative
teaching, particularly as it relates to non-traditional
models such as online coursework and competency-based
learning.
(c) Findings on Workforce Development.--The House finds the
following:
(1) 8.7 million Americans are currently unemployed.
(2) Despite billions of dollars in spending, those
looking for work are stymied by a broken workforce
development system that fails to connect workers with
assistance and employers with trained personnel.
(3) The House Education and Workforce Committee
successfully consolidated 15 job training programs in
the recently enacted Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act.
(d) Policy on Workforce Development.--It is the policy of
this resolution to address the failings in the current
workforce development system, by--
(1) further streamlining and consolidating Federal
job training programs; and
(2) empowering states with the flexibility to tailor
funding and programs to the specific needs of their
workforce, including the development of career
scholarships.

SEC. 617. POLICY STATEMENT ON FEDERAL FUNDING OF ABORTION.

It is the policy of this resolution that no taxpayer dollars
shall go to any entity that provides abortion services.

SEC. 618. POLICY STATEMENT ON TRANSPORTATION REFORM.

It is the policy of this resolution that State and local
officials are in a much better position to understand the needs
of local commuters, not bureaucrats in Washington. Federal
funding for transportation should be phased down and limited to
core Federal duties, including the interstate highway system,
transportation infrastructure on Federal land, responding to
emergencies, and research. As the level of Federal
responsibility for transportation is reduced, Congress should
also concurrently reduce the Federal gas tax.

SEC. 619. POLICY STATEMENT ON DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) For years, there has been serious concern
regarding the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
bureaucratic mismanagement and continuous failure to
provide veterans timely access to health care and
benefits.
(2) In 2014, reports started breaking across the
Nation that VA medical centers were manipulating wait-
list documents to hide long delays veterans were facing
to receive health care. The VA hospital scandal led to
the immediate resignation of then-Secretary of Veterans
Affairs Eric K. Shinseki.
(3) In 2015, for the first time ever, VA health care
was added to the ``high-risk'' list of the Government
Accountability Office (GAO), due to management and
oversight failures that have directly resulted in risks
to the timeliness, cost-effectiveness, and quality of
health care.
(4) In response to the scandal, the House Committee
on Veterans' Affairs held several oversight hearings
and ultimately enacted the Veterans' Access, Choice and
Accountability Act of 2014 (VACAA) (Public Law 113-146)
to address these problems. VACAA provided $15 billion
in emergency resources to fund internal health care
needs within the department and provided veterans
enhanced access to private-sector health care under the
new Veterans Choice Program.
(b) Policy on the Department of Veterans Affairs.--This
budget supports the continued oversight efforts by the House
Committee on Veterans' Affairs to ensure the VA is not only
transparent and accountable, but also successful in achieving
its goals in providing timely health care and benefits to
America's veterans. The Budget Committee will continue to
closely monitor the VA's progress to ensure resources provided
by Congress are sufficient and efficiently used to provide
needed benefits and services to veterans.

SEC. 620. POLICY STATEMENT ON REDUCING UNNECESSARY, WASTEFUL, AND
UNAUTHORIZED SPENDING.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is
required by law to identify examples of waste,
duplication, and overlap in Federal programs, and has
so identified dozens of such examples.
(2) In its report to Congress on Government
Efficiency and Effectiveness, the Comptroller General
has stated that addressing the identified waste,
duplication, and overlap in Federal programs could
``lead to tens of billions of dollars of additional
savings.''
(3) In 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 the GAO issued
reports showing excessive duplication and redundancy in
Federal programs including--
(A) two hundred nine Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics education programs
in 13 different Federal agencies at a cost of
$3 billion annually;
(B) two hundred separate Department of
Justice crime prevention and victim services
grant programs with an annual cost of $3.9
billion in 2010;
(C) twenty different Federal entities
administer 160 housing programs and other forms
of Federal assistance for housing with a total
cost of $170 billion in 2010;
(D) seventeen separate Homeland Security
preparedness grant programs that spent $37
billion between fiscal year 2011 and 2012;
(E) fourteen grant and loan programs, and
three tax benefits to reduce diesel emissions;
(F) ninety-four different initiatives run by
11 different agencies to encourage ``green
building'' in the private sector; and
(G) twenty-three agencies implemented
approximately 670 renewable energy initiatives
in fiscal year 2010 at a cost of nearly $15
billion.
(4) The Federal Government spends more than $80
billion each year for approximately 1,400 information
technology investments. GAO has identified broad
acquisition failures, waste, and unnecessary
duplication in the Government's information technology
infrastructure. experts have estimated that eliminating
these problems could save 25 percent or $20 billion.
(5) GAO has identified strategic sourcing as a
potential source of spending reductions. In 2011 GAO
estimated that saving 10 percent of the total or all
Federal procurement could generate more than $50
billion in savings annually.
(6) Federal agencies reported an estimated $106
billion in improper payments in fiscal year 2013.
(7) Under clause 2 of rule XI of the Rules of the
House of Representatives, each standing committee must
hold at least one hearing during each 120 day period
following its establishment on waste, fraud, abuse, or
mismanagement in Government programs.
(8) According to the Congressional Budget Office, by
fiscal year 2015, 32 laws will expire, possibly
resulting in $693 billion in unauthorized
appropriations. Timely reauthorizations of these laws
would ensure assessments of program justification and
effectiveness.
(9) The findings resulting from congressional
oversight of Federal Government programs should result
in programmatic changes in both authorizing statutes
and program funding levels.
(b) Policy on Reducing Unnecessary, Wasteful, and
Unauthorized Spending.--
(1) Each authorizing committee annually should
include in its Views and Estimates letter required
under section 301(d) of the Congressional Budget Act of
1974 recommendations to the Committee on the Budget of
programs within the jurisdiction of such committee
whose funding should be reduced or eliminated.
(2) Committees of jurisdiction should review all
unauthorized programs funded through annual
appropriations to determine if the programs are
operating efficiently and effectively.
(3) Committees should reauthorize those programs that
in the committees' judgment should continue to receive
funding.
(4) For those programs not reauthorized by
committees, the House of Representatives should enforce
the limitations on funding such unauthorized programs
in the House rules. If the strictures of the rules are
deemed to be too rapid in prohibiting spending on
unauthorized programs, then milder measures should be
adopted and enforced until a return to the full
prohibition of clause 2(a)(1) of rule XXI of the Rules
of the House.

SEC. 621. POLICY STATEMENT ON BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) The Federal Government collects approximately $3
trillion annually in taxes, but spends more than $3.5
trillion to maintain the operations of government. The
Federal Government must borrow 14 cents of every
Federal dollar spent.
(2) At the end of the year 2014, the national debt of
the United States was more than $18.1 trillion.
(3) A majority of States have petitioned the Federal
Government to hold a Constitutional Convention for the
consideration of adopting a Balanced Budget Amendment
to the United States Constitution.
(4) Forty-nine States have fiscal limitations in
their State Constitutions, including the requirement to
annually balance the budget.
(5) H.J. Res. 2, sponsored by Rep. Robert W.
Goodlatte (R-VA), was considered by the House of
Representatives on November 18, 2011, though it
received 262 aye votes, it did not receive the two-
thirds required for passage.
(6) Numerous balanced budget amendment proposals have
been introduced on a bipartisan basis in the House.
Twelve were introduced in the 113th Congress alone,
including H.J. Res. 4 by Democratic Representative John
J. Barrow of Georgia, and H.J. Res. 38 by Republican
Representative Jackie Walorski of Indiana.
(7) The joint resolution providing for a balanced
budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution referred to
in paragraph (5) prohibited outlays for a fiscal year
(except those for repayment of debt principal) from
exceeding total receipts for that fiscal year (except
those derived from borrowing) unless Congress, by a
three-fifths roll call vote of each chamber, authorizes
a specific excess of outlays over receipts.
(8) In 1995, a balanced budget amendment to the U.S.
Constitution passed the House with bipartisan support,
but failed of passage by one vote in the United States
Senate.
(b) Policy Statement.--It is the policy of this resolution
that Congress should pass a joint resolution incorporating the
provisions set forth in subsection (b), and send such joint
resolution to the States for their approval, to amend the
Constitution of the United States to require an annual balanced
budget.

SEC. 622. POLICY STATEMENT ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE
CANCELLATION OF UNOBLIGATED BALANCES.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) According to the most recent estimate from the
Office of Management and Budget, Federal agencies were
expected to hold $844 billion in unobligated balances
at the close of fiscal year 2015.
(2) These funds represent direct and discretionary
spending previously made available by Congress that
remains available for expenditure.
(3) In some cases, agencies are granted funding and
it remains available for obligation indefinitely.
(4) The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control
Act of 1974 requires the Office of Management and
Budget to make funds available to agencies for
obligation and prohibits the Administration from
withholding or cancelling unobligated funds unless
approved by an Act of Congress.
(5) Greater congressional oversight is required to
review and identify potential savings from canceling
unobligated balances of funds that are no longer
needed.
(b) Policy on Deficit Reduction Through the Cancellation of
Unobligated Balances.--Congressional committees should through
their oversight activities identify and achieve savings through
the cancellation or rescission of unobligated balances that
neither abrogate contractual obligations of the Government nor
reduce or disrupt Federal commitments under programs such as
Social Security, veterans' affairs, national security, and
Treasury authority to finance the national debt.
(c) Deficit Reduction.--Congress, with the assistance of the
Government Accountability Office, the Inspectors General, and
other appropriate agencies should continue to make it a high
priority to review unobligated balances and identify savings
for deficit reduction.

SEC. 623. POLICY STATEMENT ON RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP OF TAXPAYER
DOLLARS.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) The budget for the House of Representatives is
$188 million less than it was when Republicans became
the majority in 2011.
(2) The House of Representatives has achieved
significant savings by consolidating operations and
renegotiating contracts.
(b) Policy on Responsible Stewardship of Taxpayer Dollars.--
It is the policy of this resolution that:
(1) The House of Representatives must be a model for
the responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources and
therefore must identify any savings that can be
achieved through greater productivity and efficiency
gains in the operation and maintenance of House
services and resources like printing, conferences,
utilities, telecommunications, furniture, grounds
maintenance, postage, and rent. This should include a
review of policies and procedures for acquisition of
goods and services to eliminate any unnecessary
spending. The Committee on House Administration should
review the policies pertaining to the services provided
to Members and committees of the House, and should
identify ways to reduce any subsidies paid for the
operation of the House gym, barber shop, salon, and the
House dining room.
(2) No taxpayer funds may be used to purchase first
class airfare or to lease corporate jets for Members of
Congress.
(3) Retirement benefits for Members of Congress
should not include free, taxpayer-funded health care
for life.

SEC. 624. POLICY STATEMENT ON CREATION OF A COMMITTEE TO ELIMINATE
DUPLICATION AND WASTE.

It is the policy of this resolution that a new committee,
styled after the post-World War II ``Byrd Committee'' shall be
created to act on GAO's annual waste and duplication reports as
well as Oversight and Government Reform Inspector General
reports.

SEC. 625. POLICY STATEMENT ON BUDGET PROCESS AND BASELINE REFORM.

(a) Findings.--
(1) In 1974, after more than 50 years of executive
dominance over fiscal policy, Congress acted to
reassert its ``power of the purse'', and passed the
Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act.
(2) The measure explicitly sought to establish
congressional control over the budget process, to
provide for annual congressional determination of the
appropriate level of taxes and spending, to set
important national budget priorities, and to find ways
in which Members of Congress could have access to the
most accurate, objective, and highest quality
information to assist them in discharging their duties.
(3) Far from achieving its intended purpose, however,
the process has instituted a bias toward higher
spending and larger government. The behemoth of the
Federal Government has largely been financed through
either borrowing or taking ever greater amounts of the
national income through high taxation.
(4) The process does not treat programs and policies
consistently and shows a bias toward higher spending
and higher taxes.
(5) It assumes extension of spending programs (of
more than $50 million per year) scheduled to expire.
(6) Yet it does not assume the extension of tax
policies in the same way. consequently, extending
existing tax policies that may be scheduled to expire
is characterized as a new tax reduction, requiring
offsets to ``pay for'' merely keeping tax policy the
same even though estimating conventions would not
require similar treatment of spending programs.
(7) The original goals set for the congressional
process are admirable in their intent, but because the
essential mechanisms of the process have remained the
same, and ``reforms'' enacted over the past 40 years
have largely taken the form of layering greater levels
of legal complexity without reforming or reassessing
the very fundamental nature of the process.
(b) Policy Statement.--It is the policy of this concurrent
resolution on the budget that as the primary branch of
Government, Congress must:
(1) Restructure the fundamental procedures of budget
decision making;
(2) Reassert Congress's ``power of the purse'', and
reinforce the balance of powers between Congress and
the President, as the 1974 Act intended.
(3) Create greater incentives for lawmakers to do
budgeting as intended by the Congressional Budget Act
of 1974, especially adopting a budget resolution every
year.
(4) Encourage more effective control over spending,
especially currently uncontrolled direct spending.
(5) Consider innovative fiscal tools such as: zero
based budgeting, which would require a department or
agency to justify its budget as if it were a new
expenditure; and direct spending caps to enhance
oversight of automatic pilot spending that increases
each year without congressional approval.
(6) Promote efficient and timely budget actions, so
that lawmakers complete their budget actions by the
time the new fiscal year begins.
(7) Provide access to the best analysis of economic
conditions available and increase awareness of how
fiscal policy directly impacts overall economic growth
and job creation,
(9) Remove layers of complexity that have complicated
the procedures designed in 1974, and made budgeting
more arcane and opaque.
(10) Remove existing biases that favor higher
spending.
(11) Include procedures by which current tax laws may
be extended and treated on a basis that is not
different from the extension of entitlement programs.
(c) Budget Process Reform.--Comprehensive budget process
reform should also remove the bias in the baseline against the
extension of current tax laws in the following ways:
(1) Permanent extension of tax laws should not be
used as a means to increase taxes on other taxpayers;
(2) For those expiring tax provisions that are
proposed to be permanently extended, Congress should
use a more realistic baseline that does not require
them to be offset; and,
(3) Tax-reform legislation should not include tax
increases just to offset the extension of current tax
laws.
(d) Legislation.--The Committee on the Budget intends to
draft legislation during the 114th Congress that will rewrite
the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to
fulfill the goals of making the congressional budget process
more effective in ensuring taxpayers' dollars are spent wisely
and efficiently.

SEC. 626. POLICY STATEMENT ON FEDERAL ACCOUNTING METHODOLOGIES.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Given the thousands of Federal programs and
trillions of dollars the Federal Government spends each
year, assessing and accounting for Federal fiscal
activities and liabilities is a complex undertaking.
(2) Current methods of accounting leave much to be
desired in capturing the full scope of government and
in presenting information in a clear and compelling way
that illuminates the best options going forward.
(3) Most fiscal analysis produced by the
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is conducted over a
relatively short time horizon: 10 or 25 years. While
this time frame is useful for most purposes, it fails
to consider the fiscal consequences over the longer
term.
(4) Additionally, current accounting methodology does
not provide an analysis of how the Federal Government's
fiscal situation over the long run affects Americans of
various age cohorts.
(5) Another consideration is how Federal programs
should be accounted for. The ``accrual method'' of
accounting records revenue when it is earned and
expenses when they are incurred, while the ``cash
method'' records revenue and expenses when cash is
actually paid or received.
(6) The Federal budget accounts for most programs
using cash accounting. Some programs, however,
particularly loan and loan guarantee programs, are
accounted for using accrual methods.
(7) GAO has indicated that accrual accounting may
provide a more accurate estimation of the Federal
Government's liabilities than cash accounting for some
programs specifically those that provide some form of
insurance.
(8) Where accrual accounting is used, it is almost
exclusively calculated by CBO according to the
methodology outlined in the Federal Credit Reform Act
of 1990 (FCRA). CBO uses fair value methodology instead
of FCRA to measure the cost of Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac, for example.
(9) FCRA methodology, however, understates the risk
and thus the true cost of Federal programs. An
alternative is fair value methodology, which uses
discount rates that incorporate the risk inherent to
the type of liability being estimated in addition to
Treasury discount rates of the proper maturity length.
(10) The Congressional Budget Office has concluded
that ``adopting a fair-value approach would provide a
more comprehensive way to measure the costs of Federal
credit programs and would permit more level comparisons
between those costs and the costs of other forms of
federal assistance'' than the current approach under
FCRA.
(b) Policy on Federal Accounting Methodologies.--It is the
policy of this resolution that Congress should, in consultation
with the Congressional Budget Office and the public affected by
Federal budgetary choices, adopt Governmentwide reforms of
budget and accounting practices so the American people and
their representatives can more readily understand the fiscal
situation of the Government of the United States and the
options best suited to improving it. Such reforms may include
but should not be limited to the following:
(1) Providing additional metrics to enhance our
current analysis by considering our fiscal situation
comprehensively, over an extended time horizon, and as
it affects Americans of various age cohorts.
(2) Expanding the use of accrual accounting where
appropriate.
(3) Accounting for certain Federal credit programs
using fair value accounting as opposed to the current
approach under the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990.

SEC. 627. POLICY STATEMENT ON SCOREKEEPING FOR OUTYEAR BUDGETARY
EFFECTS IN APPROPRIATION ACTS.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Section 302 of the Congressional Budget Act of
1974 directs the Committee on the Budget to provide an
allocation of budgetary resources to the Committee on
Appropriations for the budget year covered by a
concurrent resolution on the budget.
(2) The allocation of budgetary resources provided by
the Committee on the Budget to the Committee on
Appropriations covers a period of one fiscal year only,
which is effective for the budget year.
(3) An appropriation Act, joint resolution, amendment
thereto or conference report thereon may contain
changes to programs that result in direct budgetary
effects that occur beyond the budget year and beyond
the period for which the allocation of budgetary
resources provided by the Committee on the Budget is
effective.
(4) The allocation of budgetary resources provided to
the Committee on Appropriations does not currently
anticipate or capture direct outyear budgetary effects
to programs.
(5) Budget enforcement could be improved by capturing
the direct outyear budgetary effects caused by
appropriation Acts and using this information to
determine the appropriate allocations of budgetary
resources to the Committee on Appropriations when
considering future concurrent resolutions on the
budget.
(b) Policy Statement.--It is the policy of the House of
Representatives to more effectively allocate budgetary
resources and accurately enforce budget targets by agreeing to
a procedure by which the Committee on the Budget should
consider the direct outyear budgetary effects of changes to
mandatory programs enacted in appropriations bills, joint
resolutions, amendments thereto or conference reports thereon
when setting the allocation of budgetary resources for the
Committee on Appropriations in a concurrent resolution on the
budget. The relevant committees of jurisdiction are directed to
consult on a procedure during fiscal year 2016 and include
recommendations for implementing such procedure in the fiscal
year 2017 concurrent resolution on the budget.

SEC. 628. POLICY STATEMENT ON AGENCY FEES AND SPENDING.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) A number of Federal agencies and organizations
have permanent authority to collect fees and other
offsetting collections and to spend these collected
funds.
(2) The total amount of offsetting fees and
offsetting collections is estimated by the Office of
Management and Budget to be $525 billion in fiscal year
2016.
(3) Agency budget justifications are, in some cases,
not fully transparent about the amount of program
activity funded through offsetting collections or fees.
This lack of transparency prevents effective and
accountable government.
(b) Policy on Agency Fees and Spending.--It is the policy of
this resolution that Congress must reassert its constitutional
prerogative to control spending and conduct oversight. To do
so, Congress should enact legislation requiring programs that
are funded through fees, offsetting receipts, or offsetting
collections to be allocated new budget authority annually. Such
allocation may arise from--
(1) legislation originating from the authorizing
committee of jurisdiction for the agency or program; or
(2) fee and account specific allocations included in
annual appropriation Acts.

SEC. 629. NO BUDGET, NO PAY.

It is the policy of this resolution that Congress should
agree to a concurrent resolution on the budget every year
pursuant to section 301 of the Congressional Budget Act of
1974. If by April 15, a House of Congress has not agreed to a
concurrent resolution on the budget, the payroll administrator
of that House should carry out this policy in the same manner
as the provisions of Public Law 113-3, the No Budget, No Pay
Act of 2013, and place in an escrow account all compensation
otherwise required to be made for Members of that House of
Congress. Withheld compensation should be released to Members
of that House of Congress the earlier of the day on which that
House of Congress agrees to a concurrent resolution on the
budget, pursuant to section 301 of the Congressional Budget Act
of 1974, or the last day of that Congress.

TITLE III--ESTIMATES OF DIRECT SPENDING

SEC. 301. DIRECT SPENDING.

(a) Means-Tested Direct Spending.--
(1) For means-tested direct spending, the average
rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the
10-year period preceding fiscal year 2016 is 6.8
percent.
(2) For means-tested direct spending, the estimated
average rate of growth in the total level of outlays
during the 11-year period beginning with fiscal year
2015 is 5.1 percent under current law.
(3) The following reforms are proposed in this
concurrent resolution for means-tested direct spending:
The resolution rejects cuts to the social safety net
that lifts millions of people out of poverty. It
assumes extension of the tax credits from the American
Taxpayer Relief Act due to expire at the end of 2017.
These credits include an increase in refundability of
the child tax credit, relief for married earned income
tax credit filers, and a larger earned income tax
credit for larger families. It also assumes expansion
of the earned income tax credit for childless workers,
a group that has seen limited support from safety net
programs, and other impacts of a middle class and pro-
work tax reform.
(b) Nonmeans-Tested Direct Spending.--
(1) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, the average
rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the
10-year period preceding fiscal year 2016 is 5.4
percent.
(2) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, the
estimated average rate of growth in the total level of
outlays during the 11-year period beginning with fiscal
year 2015 is 5.5 percent under current law.
(3) The following reforms are proposed in this
concurrent resolution for nonmeans-tested direct
spending: For Medicare, this budget rejects proposals
to end the Medicare guarantee and shift rising health
care costs onto seniors by replacing Medicare with
vouchers or premium support for the purchase of private
insurance. Such proposals will expose seniors and
persons with disabilities on fixed incomes to
unacceptable financial risks, and they will weaken the
traditional Medicare program. Instead, this budget
builds on the success of the Affordable Care Act, which
made significant strides in health care cost
containment and put into place a framework for
continuous innovation. This budget supports
comprehensive reforms to give physicians and other care
providers incentives to provide high-quality,
coordinated, efficient care, in a manner consistent
with the goals of fiscal sustainability. It makes no
changes that reduce benefits available to seniors and
individuals with disabilities in Medicare. In other
areas, the resolution assumes additional funding for
child care, early education, and children's health;
extension and expansion of the American Opportunity Tax
Credit, which assists with higher education expenses;
and funding certain tribal support costs that have been
previously annually appropriated. It also would create
a National Infrastructure Bank, an Apprenticeship
Training Fund, and a Paid Leave Partnership Initiative,
which would help States establish paid leave programs.
The resolution repeals the mandatory sequester required
under the Budget Control Act.

amendment, or conference report makes appropriations
for fiscal year 2016 for Overseas Contingency
Operations and such amounts are so designated pursuant
to this paragraph, then the Chairman of the House
Committee on the Budget may adjust the allocation to
the House Committee on Appropriations by the amounts
provided in such legislation for that purpose up to,
but not to exceed, the total amount of budget authority
specified in section 102(21).
(2) Limitation.--Adjustments made pursuant to
paragraph (1) shall only include funding appropriated
to the Overseas Contingency Operations title of an
appropriations bill for war activities and related
diplomatic and development operations, or for
activities related to countering urgent national
security threats, and shall not include funding for
regular, base budget activities.
(c) Disaster Relief.--In the House, if any bill, joint
resolution, amendment, or conference report makes
appropriations for discretionary amounts and such amounts are
designated for disaster relief pursuant to this subsection,
then the allocation to the Committee on Appropriations, and as
necessary, the aggregates in this resolution, shall be adjusted
by the amount of new budget authority and outlays up to the
amounts provided under section 251(b)(2)(D) of the Balanced
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as adjusted
by subsection (d).
(d) Wildfire Suppression Operations.--
(1) Cap adjustment.--In the House, if any bill, joint
resolution, amendment, or conference report making
appropriations for wildfire suppression operations for
fiscal year 2016 that appropriates a base amount equal
to 70 percent of the average cost of wildfire
suppression operations over the previous 10 years and
provides an additional appropriation of up to but not
to exceed $1.5 billion for wildfire suppression
operations and such amounts are so designated pursuant
to this paragraph, then the allocation to the House
Committee on Appropriations may be adjusted by the
additional amount of budget authority above the base
amount and the outlays resulting from that additional
budget authority.
(2) Deficit-neutral adjustment.--The total allowable
discretionary adjustment for disaster relief pursuant
to section 251(b)(2)(D) of the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 shall be reduced
by an amount equivalent to the sum of allocation
increases made pursuant to paragraph (1) in the
previous year.
(e) Procedure for Adjustments.--In the House, prior to
consideration of any bill, joint resolution, amendment, or
conference report, the chairman of the House Committee on the
Budget shall make the adjustments set forth in subsections (b),
(c), and (d) for the incremental new budget authority in that
measure and the outlays resulting from that budget authority if
that measure meets the requirements set forth in this section.

Representatives and the Senate, but has yet to be presented to
or signed by the President at the time of final consideration
of this resolution.

SEC. 406. REINSTATEMENT OF PAY-AS-YOU-GO.

In the House, and pursuant to section 301(b)(8) of the
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, for the remainder of the
114th Congress, the following shall apply in lieu of ``CUTGO''
rules and principles:
(1)(A) Except as provided in paragraphs (2) and (3),

as in the case of any other rule of the House of
Representatives.

TITLE V--POLICY STATEMENTS

SEC. 501. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON JOB CREATION.

(a) Findings.--The House finds that--
(1) the economy entered a deep recession in December
2007 that was worsened by a financial crisis in 2008--
by January 2009, the private sector was shedding nearly
800,000 jobs per month;
(2) actions by the President, Congress, and the
Federal Reserve helped stem the crisis, and job
creation resumed in 2010, with the economy creating 12
million private jobs over the past 60 consecutive
months;
(3) United States manufacturing has shared in this
recovery with manufacturing employment having grown
over the last five years, the first such extended
period of growth since the 1990s;
(4) despite the job gains already made, job growth
needs to accelerate and continue for an extended period
for the economy to fully recover from the recession;
(5) millions of Americans remain unemployed or
underemployed, in danger of seeing a middle-class
lifestyle slip away or remain out of reach, and this
issue is especially acute in the African-American and
Latino communities, making it imperative that we push
for extended job creation which is broadly-shared; and
(6) further job creation is vital to ensure that the
economy continues to recover and that the benefits of
the recovery are more broadly shared.
(b) Policy.--
(1) In general.--It is the policy of this resolution
that Congress should make it a priority to enact
legislation to help create jobs in the United States,
remove incentives to out-source jobs overseas and
instead support incentives that bring jobs back to the
United States.
(2) Jobs.--This resolution--
(A) supports funding for President Obama's
six-year, $478 billion surface transportation
reauthorization proposal;
(B) supports efforts for additional job
creation measures, including further
infrastructure improvements, such as a National
Infrastructure Bank that can be used for a wide
range of infrastructure investments, including
investments in expanding clean energy
production and energy efficiency, and support
for biomedical and other research that both
creates jobs and advances scientific knowledge
and health, or other spending or revenue
proposals;
(C) protects jobs in the United States by
eliminating unjustified corporate tax breaks
that encourage firms to ship jobs and capital
overseas and shelter their profits in foreign
tax havens, including provisions that permit
U.S. companies to ``invert'' and pretend to
move overseas purely to reduce taxes--revenues
raised by the elimination or reduction of such
tax breaks can then be invested in
infrastructure improvements and other job
creation efforts; and
(D) supports a ``Make it in America'' agenda
that seeks to expand on the recent recovery in
manufacturing jobs and help encourage a
resurgence of manufacturing in the United
States through job creation measures, including
the development of new domestic manufacturing
institutes to conduct research into innovative
products and materials, the establishment of a
new investment fund of up to $10 billion to
help American-made advanced manufacturing
technologies reach commercial scale production,
and passage of other legislation to support
manufacturing in the United States.

SEC. 502. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON SURFACE TRANSPORTATION.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Supporting the President's six-year, $478 billion
surface transportation reauthorization investment will
sharpen America's global competitive edge in the 21st
century by allowing infrastructure expansion and
modernization.
(2) Many of our roads, bridges, and transit systems
are in disrepair, and fail to move as many goods and
people as the economy demands. The American Society of
Engineers gives the United States infrastructure an
overall grade of D+.
(3) Deep cuts to our transportation funding over the
next 10 years will hurt families and businesses at a
time when we have major infrastructure needs and
workers ready to do the job.
(4) Increasing transportation investments improves
our quality of life by building new ladders of
opportunity--improving our competitive edge,
facilitating American exports, creating new jobs and
increasing access to existing ones, and fostering
economic growth, while also providing critical safety
improvements and reduced commute times.
(5) The highway trust fund provides critical funding
for repairing, expanding, and modernizing roads,
bridges, and transit systems, and according to recent
CBO projections, it is expected to become insolvent
this summer. This could force a halt to construction
projects, which would put hundreds of thousands of jobs
at risk.
(a) Policy.--It is the policy of the House to provide funding
in support of the President's proposed six-year, $478 billion
surface transportation reauthorization that prevents the
imminent insolvency of the highway trust fund and increases
investment in our highway and transit programs. Such an
investment sharpens our competitive edge, increases access to
jobs, reduces commute times, makes our highways and transit
systems safer, facilitates American exports, creates jobs, and
fosters economic growth.

SEC. 503. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON TAX REFORM THAT WORKS FOR HARDWORKING
FAMILIES.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Americans today are working harder than ever, but
their paychecks are flat.
(2) American families lost economic ground during the
2000s and the Great Recession. U.S. Census data shows
that median household income fell 8.6 percent in real
terms between 2000 and 2013, and is still no higher
than it was in 1989.
(3) Studies by the Organisation for Economic Co-
operation and Development (OECD), the International
Monetary Fund (IMF), and Standard and Poor's, among
others, have concluded that increased income inequality
is a threat to economic growth.
(4) American workers are getting a smaller share of
the growing economic pie. For the period 1948-1973,
labor productivity increased 97 percent, and real
hourly compensation for workers increased at a similar
rate: 91 percent. But from 1973-2013, productivity rose
by 146 percent and workers' compensation rose by only
18 percent.
(5) Since the 1970s, economic gains have gone
overwhelmingly to the highest-income Americans, while
the middle class and most other hard working Americans
have been left behind. According to the Congressional
Budget Office, between 1979 and 2011, after-tax incomes
rose five times as fast for the top one percent of
households, whose annual incomes average more than $1
million, than they did for the middle 60 percent of
Americans.
(6) The tax code treats income from wealth more
favorably than income from work by giving preferential
tax rates on unearned income, and contains numerous,
wasteful tax breaks for special interests.
(7) The top one percent of households receives a
disproportionate share--17 percent--of the benefit of
major tax expenditures, according to the Congressional
Budget Office. These preferences have exacerbated
income and wealth inequality.
(8) Past Republican tax plans have made reducing
taxes for the wealthiest Americans the top priority.
Republicans also would repeal Affordable Care Act tax
credits which help millions of families buy affordable
health insurance, abandon important expansions to the
Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit, and cut
higher education benefits by allowing the American
Opportunity Tax Credit to expire. The result has been
legislation that increased deficits while giving a
disproportionate share of any tax cuts to the wealthy.
Such a tax increase would--
(A) make it even harder for working families
to make ends meet;
(B) cost the economy millions of jobs over
the coming years by reducing consumer spending,
which will greatly weaken economic growth; and
(C) further widen the income gap between the
wealthiest households and the middle class by
making the tax code more regressive.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of this resolution to reform
the tax code to work for hard working Americans, to cut special
interest tax breaks for the top one percent, and to close
unproductive special interest corporate tax breaks and
loopholes, without increasing the tax burden on middle-class
taxpayers.

SEC. 504. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON BUILDING LADDERS OF OPPORTUNITY TO
HELP HARDWORKING FAMILIES JOIN THE MIDDLE CLASS.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Even as the economy grows, wage stagnation and
income inequality persist, requiring additional ladders
of opportunity to help hard-working families join the
middle class.
(2) Young adults with a college degree are much more
likely to be employed than those with just a high
school diploma. In 2013, the unemployment rate for
young college graduates was 7 percent versus 17 percent
for those with only a high school degree, but the
difference was even bigger during the economic
downturn.
(3) More than 8 million low-income students each year
rely on Federal Pell grants to help pay for college.
Pell grants are well-targeted; more than 73 percent of
Pell grant recipients have family incomes of less than
$30,000 per year. More than 10 million college students
also rely on the American Opportunity Tax Credit to
help defray the cost of college, but that tax credit
expires at the end of 2017.
(4) As college costs have continued to rise, total
student loan debt has quadrupled over the past ten
years to more than $1.3 trillion. More than 80 percent
of that debt is from Federal student loans. In 2013,
more than two thirds of those graduating from college
had student loan debt, and the average debt had grown
to $28,400.
(5) The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child
Tax Credit (CTC) encourage work and are some of our
most effective anti-poverty programs, and they have
generally enjoyed strong, bipartisan support from
Members of Congress and Presidents of each party.
(6) Enhancements to the EITC and CTC enacted in 2009
lifted 1.6 million people out of poverty, including
nearly one million children. Many military families are
among the beneficiaries of these vital policies.
(7) Wage inequality still exists in this country.
Women make only 78 cents for every dollar earned by
men, and the pay gap for African American women and
Latinas is even larger.
(8) More than 40 million private sector workers in
this country - including more than 13 million working
women - are not able to take a paid sick day when they
are ill. Millions more lack paid sick time to care for
a sick child.
(9) Nearly one-quarter of adults in the United States
report that they have lost a job or have been
threatened with job loss for taking time off due to
illness or to care for a sick child or relative, and 87
percent of the United States workforce does not have
paid family leave through their employer.
(10) The real value of the Federal minimum wage today
is at historically low levels, and has not been
increased since 2009.
(11) Increasing the minimum wage would give a raise
to millions of workers, lift many Americans out of
poverty, and put more money in the pockets of
individuals who are likely to spend additional income.
This would help expand the economy and create jobs.
(12) A higher minimum wage will reduce Government
spending on Medicaid, public housing, nutrition
assistance and other income-support programs that
provide assistance to minimum wage workers. A higher
minimum wage will also benefit businesses by increasing
productivity, reducing absenteeism, and reducing
turnover.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of this resolution to
accomplish the following:
(1) That the House should broaden access to college,
including through new initiatives to make college more
affordable, increase college completion rates, and
lower student debt. This includes, but is not limited
to, helping millions of families afford the cost of
college by: permanently extending and improving the
American Opportunity Tax Credit; maintaining Pell
grants as the primary source of Federal grant aid; and
accommodating legislation to help borrowers lower and
manage their student loan debt through refinancing and
expanded repayment options.
(2) That the House should preserve key work and
family supports by permanently extending enhanced
refundability of the Child Tax Credit, permanently
extending the increased Earned Income Tax Credit
benefits for married couples and families with 3 or
more children, and expanding the Earned Income Tax
Credit for childless workers and non-custodial parents.
(3) That the House should make a positive difference
in the lives of women, enacting measures to address
economic equality and support work and family balance
through earned paid sick leave, and earned paid and
expanded family and medical leave. The resolution
provides funding to help States establish paid leave
programs.
(4) That women receive equal pay for equal work.
(5) That the House should pass an increase in the
minimum wage. A higher minimum wage will benefit both
workers and the economy as a whole.

SEC. 505. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON WOMEN'S ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT, AND
HEALTH AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENT.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Wage inequality still exists in this country.
Women make only 78 cents for every dollar earned by
men, and the pay gap for African American women and
Latinas is even larger.
(2) Nearly two-thirds of minimum wage workers are
women, and the minimum wage has not kept up with
inflation over the last 45 years.
(3) More than 40 million private sector workers in
this country--including more than 13 million working
women--are not able to take a paid sick day when they
are ill. Millions more lack paid sick time to care for
a sick child.
(4) Nearly one-quarter of adults in the U.S. report
that they have lost a job or have been threatened with
job loss for taking time off due to illness or to care
for a sick child or relative.
(5) Fully 87 percent of the U.S. workforce does not
have paid family leave through their employers, and
more than 60 percent of the workforce does not have
paid personal medical leave through an employer-
provided temporary disability program, which some new
mothers use.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the House that Congress
should make a positive difference in the lives of women,
enacting measures to address economic equality and women's
health and safety. Those measures include the following:
(1) To address economic fairness, Congress should
enact the Paycheck Fairness Act, increase the minimum
wage, support women entrepreneurs and small businesses,
and support work and family balance through earned paid
sick leave, and earned paid and expanded Family and
Medical leave.
(2) To address health and safety concerns, Congress
should increase funding for the prevention and
treatment of women's health issues such as breast
cancer and heart disease, support access to family
planning, and enact measures to prevent and protect
women from domestic violence.

SEC. 506. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Over the years, the Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) has faced funding shortfalls and was
unprepared to meet the demands of a new generation of
returning veterans.
(2) Access to quality health care and veterans'
benefits has been an ongoing challenge for the VA,
highlighted most recently in the ongoing claims backlog
and veterans waiting months for health care
appointments.
(3) Providing health care where veterans live and
ensuring a sufficient number of health care
professionals, especially in the area of mental health
treatment, have also been challenges.
(4) The Government shutdown in the fall of 2013 led
to furloughs at the VA that slowed the processing of
benefit claims.
(5) The President's budget includes an 8 percent
increase over current year funding, which provides the
resources to improve the timely delivery and the
quality of health care services, and to address other
urgent issues, such as ending veterans' homelessness.
(6) The VA currently has advance appropriations for
85 percent of its discretionary budget. The residual 15
percent, which includes funding for the day-to-day
operations at the Veterans Benefits Administration,
remains vulnerable to a Government shutdown.
(7) Congress provided the authority to expand advance
appropriations for VA's three largest mandatory
programs in the FY 2015 Omnibus; Consolidated and
Further Continuing Appropriations Act (Public Law 113-
235).
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the House that--
(1) the President's requested level for veterans'
discretionary programs be fully supported so that the
VA has the resources it needs to ensure veterans get
the benefits they earned in a timely fashion;
(2) advance appropriations be expanded to cover all
of VA's discretionary budget to prevent delays in
veterans' benefits and services during a Government
shutdown;
(3) the VA submit along with its annual budget a
``Future-Years Veterans Program'' that projects its
needs over five years to help facilitate the
appropriations and oversight processes; and
(4) sufficient resources are provided for the VA's
Office of the Inspector General to guarantee veterans
are properly served and that resources are spent
efficiently.

SEC. 507. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) The Federal workforce provides vital services to
our nation on a daily basis. It includes those who
patrol and secure our borders, take care of our
veterans, help run our airports, counter cyber-attacks,
find cures to deadly diseases, and keep our food supply
safe.
(2) Last year alone, Federal employees addressed a
wide range of national priorities, from responding to
the Ebola outbreak to helping reduce veterans'
homelessness to helping millions obtain affordable
health care.
(3) Veterans make up 30 percent of the Federal
workforce.
(4) Many Federal workers are paid at a rate that is
far below their private sector counterparts.
(5) The Federal workforce is older than in past
decades and older than the private sector workforce. It
is estimated that twenty-five percent of the Federal
workforce intends to retire over the next five years.
(6) Over the last five years, the Federal workforce
has contributed more than $150 billion toward reducing
the country's deficits in the form of pay freezes, pay
raises insufficient to keep pace with inflation, and
increased retirement contributions.
(7) The Federal workforce endured furloughs from
sequestration and the 16-day Government shutdown.
(8) Since 1975, the security and non-security parts
of the Federal workforce have declined 33 and 38
percent, respectively, relative to the population.
(9) Nearly all of the increase in the Federal
civilian workforce from 2001 and 2014 is due to
increases at security-related agencies, including the
Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security,
Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Department of
Justice.
(10) Proposals to reduce the size of the workforce at
non-security agencies by 10 percent have excluded an
assessment of their impact on Government services.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the House that Federal
employees should not be targeted to achieve further reductions
in the deficit as they have already contributed more than their
fair share, that Federal workers should be compensated with pay
and benefits at a level that enables the Government to attract
high quality people--which is especially important during this
period when more workers will be retiring--and that no proposal
to reduce the size of the workforce should be considered
without an assessment of its impact on Government services.

SEC. 508. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON A NATIONAL STRATEGY TO ERADICATE
POVERTY AND INCREASE OPPORTUNITY.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Access to opportunity should be the right of
every American.
(2) Poverty has declined by more than one-third since
1967. Federal programs and tax policies that strengthen
economic security and increase opportunity have played
an important role in this decline. Continued Federal
support is essential to build on these gains.
(3) Social Security has played a major role in
reducing poverty. Without it, the poverty rate in 2013
would have been 8.6 percentage points higher. Its
positive impact on older Americans is even starker,
lowering the poverty rate among this group by nearly 40
percentage points.
(4) The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
alone lifts nearly 5 million people out of poverty,
including over 2 million children. School breakfast and
lunch programs help keep children ready to learn,
allowing them to reach their full potential.
(5) Medicaid improves health, access to health care,
and financial security. Medicaid coverage lowers
infant, child, and adult mortality rates. Medicaid
coverage virtually eliminates catastrophic out-of-
pocket medical expenditures, providing much needed
financial security and peace of mind.
(6) The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax
Credit (CTC) together lift over 9 million people,
including 5 million children, out of poverty. President
Ronald Reagan proposed the major EITC expansion in the
1986 Tax Reform Act, which he referred to as ``the best
antipoverty, the best pro-family, the best job creation
measure to come out of Congress''. Studies indicate
that children in families that receive the type of
income supports EITC and CTC offer do better at school
and have higher incomes as adults.
(7) Antipoverty programs have increasingly been
focused on encouraging and rewarding work for those who
are able. The programs can empower their beneficiaries
to rise to the middle class through job training,
educational assistance, adequate nutrition, housing and
health care.
(8) Despite our progress, there is still work to be
done. Nearly 50 million Americans still live below the
poverty line. Parental income still has a major impact
on children's income after they become adults.
(9) There remain significant disparities across
racial and ethnic lines. At the end of 2013, the
unemployment rate for whites was 6.0 percent but was
8.4 percent for Hispanics and 11.8 percent for African
Americans. The poverty rate among African Americans and
Hispanics is nearly double that for whites. Disparities
in wealth are even starker, with white households
having nearly 13 times the median wealth of African
American households and 11 times the median wealth of
Hispanic households.
(10) The minimum wage has not changed since 2007 and
is worth less today than it was in real terms at the
beginning of 1950. Raising the minimum could lift
millions out of poverty.
(11) Some areas of the country have been left behind.
They face persistent high levels of poverty and
joblessness. Residents of these areas often lack access
to quality schools, affordable health care, and
adequate job opportunities.
(b) Policy.--It is the sense of the House to support a goal
of developing a national strategy to eliminate poverty, with
the initial goal of cutting poverty in half in ten years, and
to extend equitable access to economic opportunity to all
Americans. The strategy must include a multi-pronged approach
that would:
(1) Ensure a livable wage for workers, including
raising the minimum wage so that a full time worker
earns enough to be above the poverty line.
(2) Provide education and job training to make sure
workers have the skills to succeed.
(3) Provide supports for struggling families in
difficult economic times and while developing skills.
(4) Remove barriers and obstacles that prevent
individuals from taking advantage of economic and
educational opportunities.
(5) Provide supports for the most vulnerable who are
not able to work: seniors, the severely disabled, and
children.
As the strategy is developed and implemented, Congress must
work to protect low-income and middle-class Americans from the
negative impacts of budget cuts on the critical domestic
programs that help millions of struggling American families.
The strategy should maximize the impact of antipoverty programs
across Federal, state, and local governments. Improving the
effective coordination and oversight across agencies and
implementing a true unity of programs under a ``whole of
government'' approach to shared goals and client-based outcomes
will help to streamline access, improve service delivery, and
strengthen and extend the reach of every Federal dollar to
fight poverty. The plan should consider additional targeting of
spending toward persistent poverty areas to revitalize these
areas of pervasive historical poverty, unemployment, and
general distress. For example, the idea of targeting ten
percent of certain Federal funding to areas where twenty
percent or more of the population has been living below the
poverty line for at least thirty years should be explored.

SEC. 509. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON REJECTING THE SEQUESTER.

(b) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Reductions to discretionary programs necessitated
by the Budget Control Act of 2011 caps will harm
national security and important domestic investments.
(2) The caps took effect when Congress could not
reach agreement on the deficit reduction goal
established in that Act. They were never intended to be
implemented. Rather they were designed to be a sword of
Damocles, so austere and infeasible that they would
motivate compromise on spending reductions and revenue
increases.
(3) An important feature of the Act was its equal
treatment for the defense and non-defense portions of
the budget, which was to serve as an incentive to reach
agreement for Members with varying priorities.
(4) The Act provided special procedures for certain
program integrity efforts to encourage full funding.
These efforts pay for themselves by making sure
benefits go only to those who are eligible and taxes
are paid as required by law. These procedures should be
expanded where there is well documented evidence of
effective efforts.
(4) Providing relief from unrealistically low
spending caps by circumventing existing law is neither
responsible nor transparent. Emergency and overseas
contingency operations adjustments, which are not
controlled by the caps, should not be used to fund base
spending.
(5) The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 took an
important first step in correcting the overly
restrictive caps, providing relief in 2014 and 2015 in
a fiscally responsible way. This budget continues that
effort.
(a) Policy.--It is the policy of the House that--
(1) the Budget Control Act should be amended to
increase its overly austere spending limits to the
levels included in this resolution;
(2) increases in both defense and non-defense will
make room for a range of domestic and security
investments that will accelerate growth and expand
opportunity; and
(3) additional special procedures should be
established to improve tax code enforcement and to
reduce improper payments in the unemployment insurance
program as permitted in this resolution.

SEC. 510. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON SOCIAL SECURITY.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) More than 59 million Americans currently receive
earned Social Security benefits and, for most, Social
Security's modest benefits provide the majority of
their income.
(2) Social Security benefits are becoming more
critical to providing retirement income as fewer and
fewer workers have access to traditional defined
benefit retirement plans and many workers are unable to
save adequate resources in retirement savings accounts.
(3) More than half of disabled workers receiving
Social Security insurance payments would have fallen
into poverty if they had not earned Social Security to
protect them when they became severely disabled or
terminally ill.
(4) The Social Security trust funds have a combined
balance of $2.8 trillion, built by contributions from
American workers, enough to pay 100 percent of earned
benefits until 2033.
(5) Social Security's Disability Insurance (DI) and
Old Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) systems are
intertwined both in their benefit structure and in
their revenues--DI recipients who reach retirement age
receive OASI benefits and beneficiaries in each
category have helped finance the other category even if
they will never receive those benefits.
(6) In the short-term, the projected shortfall in the
DI trust fund should be addressed through changes that
permit Social Security to use its existing overall
resources to fund DI benefits.
(a) Policy.--This resolution assumes action by the House of
Representatives to enact legislation that uses Social
Security's existing reserves to prevent cuts in Social
Security's earned benefits, and makes no changes to Social
Security that involve reductions in earned Social Security
benefits.

SEC. 511. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON PROTECTING THE MEDICARE GUARANTEE FOR
SENIORS.

(a) Findings.--The House finds that--
(1) senior citizens and persons with disabilities
highly value the Medicare program and rely on Medicare
to guarantee their health and financial security;
(2) in 2015, 55,300,000 people will rely on Medicare
for coverage of hospital stays, physician visits,
prescription drugs, and other necessary medical goods
and services;
(3) the Medicare program has lower administrative
costs than private insurance, and Medicare program
costs per enrollee have grown at a slower rate than
private insurance for a given level of benefits;
(4) people with Medicare already have the ability to
choose a private insurance plan within Medicare through
the Medicare Advantage option, yet more than 70 percent
of Medicare beneficiaries chose the traditional fee-
for-service program instead of a private plan in 2014;
(5) rising health care costs are not unique to
Medicare or other Federal health programs, they are
endemic to the entire health care system;
(6) converting Medicare into a voucher for the
purchase of health insurance will merely force seniors
and individuals with disabilities to pay much higher
premiums if they want to use their voucher to purchase
traditional Medicare coverage;
(7) a voucher system in which the voucher payment
fails to keep pace with growth in health costs would
expose seniors and persons with disabilities on fixed
incomes to unacceptable financial risks;
(8) shifting more health care costs onto Medicare
beneficiaries would not reduce overall health care
costs, instead it would mean beneficiaries would face
higher premiums, eroding coverage, or both; and
(9) versions of voucher policies that do not
immediately end the traditional Medicare program will
merely set it up for a death spiral as private plans
siphon off healthier and less expensive beneficiaries,
leaving the sickest beneficiaries in a program that
will wither away.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the House that the Medicare
guarantee for seniors and persons with disabilities should be
preserved and strengthened, and that any legislation to end the
Medicare guarantee, financially penalize people for choosing
traditional Medicare, or shift rising health care costs onto
seniors by replacing Medicare with vouchers or premium support
for the purchase of health insurance, should be rejected.

SEC. 512. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE COVERAGE FOR
WORKING FAMILIES.

(a) Findings.--The House finds that--
(1) making health care coverage affordable and
accessible for all American families will improve
families' health and economic security, which will make
the economy stronger;
(2) 16,400,000 uninsured individuals have gained
health coverage so far as a result of the Affordable
Care Act, and the uninsured rate for working-age adults
has dropped from 20.3 percent to 13.2 percent since
October 2013, when the ACA marketplaces opened for
business;
(3) the Affordable Care Act will expand affordable
coverage for up to 25,000,000 people by the end of the
decade who would otherwise be uninsured;
(4) the Affordable Care Act ensures the right to
equal treatment for people who have preexisting health
conditions and for women;
(5) the Affordable Care Act ensures that health
insurance coverage will always include basic necessary
services such as prescription drugs, mental health
care, and maternity care and that insurance companies
cannot impose lifetime or annual limits on these
benefits;
(6) the Affordable Care Act increases transparency in
health care, helping to reduce health care cost growth
by requiring transparency around hospital charges,
insurer cost-sharing, and kick-back payments from
pharmaceutical companies to physicians;
(7) the Affordable Care Act reforms Federal health
entitlements by using nearly every health cost-
containment provision experts recommend, including new
incentives to reward quality and coordination of care
rather than simply quantity of services provided, new
tools to crack down on fraud, and the elimination of
excessive taxpayer subsidies to private insurance
plans, and since 2011, national health expenditures
have grown at the slowest rate on record;
(8) health care spending per capita in the United
States grew in 2011, 2012, and 2013 at the lowest rates
on record, and the Congressional Budget Office now
projects that the Affordable Care Act's coverage
provisions will cost a full 33 percent less in 2019
than the agency originally estimated when the Act
became law in 2010; and
(7) the Affordable Care Act will reduce the Federal
deficit by more than $1,000,000,000,000 over the next
20 years.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the House that the law of
the land should support making affordable health care coverage
available to every American family, and therefore the
Affordable Care Act should not be repealed.

SEC. 513. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON MEDICAID.

(a) Findings.--The House finds that--
(1) Medicaid is a central component of the Nation's
health care safety net, and will provide health
coverage to 69,000,000 Americans in 2015, including 1
in 3 children;
(2) Medicaid improves health outcomes, access to
health services, and financial security;
(3) seniors, people with disabilities, and children
account for about three-fourths of Medicaid program
spending and would be at risk of losing access to
health care under any policy to sever the link between
Medicaid funding and the actual costs of providing
services to the currently eligible Medicaid population;
(4) Medicaid is the primary payer for long-term care
in the United States, providing financial assistance to
seniors and people with disabilities facing significant
out-of-pocket costs for in-home and nursing home
services; and
(5) an estimated 7 in 10 Americans aged 65 or older
will need long-term services and supports at some point
in their lives.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the House that the important
health care safety net for children, senior citizens, people
with disabilities, and vulnerable Americans provided by
Medicaid should be preserved and should not be dismantled by
converting Medicaid into a block grant, per capita cap, or
other financing arrangement that would limit Federal
contributions and render the program incapable of responding to
increased need that may result from trends in demographics or
health care costs or from economic conditions.

SEC. 514. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON INVESTMENTS THAT HELP CHILDREN
SUCCEED.

(b) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Investments in early childhood benefit the
economy as a whole, generating at least $7 in return
for every $1 invested by lowering the need for spending
on other services--such as remedial education, grade
repetition, and special education--and increasing
productivity and earnings for those children as adults.
(2) High-quality, affordable child care helps two
generations to succeed, increasing employment and
earnings for parents while promoting a healthy growing
and learning environment for children.
(3) Unfortunately, only one out of every six eligible
children is able to access care through the child care
and development block grant, and only three out of
every ten 4-year-olds are enrolled in high-quality
early childhood education programs in the United
States.
(4) In particular, children from low-income families
are less likely to have access to high-quality,
affordable preschool programs that will prepare them
for kindergarten. By third grade, children from low-
income families who are not reading at grade level are
six times less likely to graduate from high school than
students who are proficient.
(5) Voluntary home visits to families with young
children in at-risk communities have been shown to
improve maternal and child health, promote child
development and school readiness, and help prevent
child abuse and neglect. Home visiting programs have
created savings, reducing Medicaid costs by lowering
the number of preterm births and use of hospital
emergency rooms, reducing the need for public benefits
and child protective services, and increasing tax
revenues through higher parental earnings.
(6) The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is
an important source of health care coverage for more
than 8 million children in families who earn too much
to qualify for Medicaid but who struggle to meet
everyday expenses. Due in large part to CHIP, the rate
of uninsured children in the U.S. fell from 13.9
percent to 7.1 percent between 1997 and 2012.
(a) Policy.--It is the policy of the House that this
resolution supports funding for, and assumes enactment of, the
following:
(1) A 10-year child care initiative that would ensure
that all low- and moderate-income working families with
children aged three and below would have access to
affordable, quality child care.
(2) A 10-year investment to provide access to high-
quality early education for all 4-year-olds. Early
education programs must meet quality benchmarks that
are linked to better outcomes for children, including a
rigorous curriculum tied to State-level standards,
qualified teachers, small class sizes, and effective
evaluation and review of programs.
(3) Extension of the Children's Health Insurance
Program (CHIP) and extension and expansion of the
existing highly effective voluntary home-visiting
program for at-risk children.

SEC. 515. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON IMMIGRATION REFORM.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Fixing the country's broken immigration system
will mean a stronger economy and lower budget deficits.
(2) The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates
that enacting the Border Security, Economic
Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, as
introduced by House Democrats in the 113th Congress,
will reduce the deficit by $900 billion over the next
two decades, boost the economy by 5.4 percent, and
increase productivity by 1.0 percent.
(3) The Social Security Actuary estimates that
immigration reform will reduce the Social Security
shortfall by 8 percent and will extend the life of the
Social Security Trust Fund by two years.
(4) The passage of the Border Security, Economic
Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act
recognizes that the primary tenets of its success
depend on securing the sovereignty of the United States
of America and establishing a coherent and just system
for integrating those who seek to join American
society.
(5) We have a right, and duty, to maintain and secure
our borders, and to keep our country safe and
prosperous. As a Nation founded, built and sustained by
immigrants we also have a responsibility to harness the
power of that tradition in a balanced way that secures
a more prosperous future for America.
(6) We have always welcomed newcomers to the United
States and will continue to do so. But in order to
qualify for the honor and privilege of eventual
citizenship, our laws must be followed. The world
depends on America to be strong--economically,
militarily and ethically. The establishment of a
stable, just, and efficient immigration system only
supports those goals. As a Nation, we have the right
and responsibility to make our borders safe, to
establish clear and just rules for seeking citizenship,
to control the flow of legal immigration, and to
eliminate illegal immigration, which in some cases has
become a threat to our national security.
(7) All parts of the Border Security, Economic
Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act are
premised on the right and need of the United States to
achieve these goals, and to protect its borders and
maintain its sovereignty.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the House that the full
House vote on comprehensive immigration reform--such as the
Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration
Modernization Act--to boost our economy, lower deficits,
establish clear and just rules for citizenship, and secure our
borders.

SEC. 516. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON NATIONAL SECURITY.

(a) Findings.--The House finds that--
(1) we must continue to support a strong military
that is second to none and the size and the structure
of our military have to be driven by a strategy;
(2) those who serve in uniform are our most important
security resource and the Administration and Congress
shall continue to provide the support they need to
successfully carry out the missions the country gives
them;
(3) in testimony before the House Armed Service
Committee on March 18, 2015, Secretary of Defense
Ashton Carter stated that the Defense Department needs
funding it requests for regular, ``base budget''
activities appropriated in the base budget because it
provides stability in planning for the future;
(4) in testimony before the House Armed Service
Committee on March 18, 2015, Under Secretary of Defense
Michael McCord said the Pentagon does not need $36
billion or $38 billion extra in the Overseas
Contingency Operations (OCO) budget;
(5) OCO designation has been used as a backdoor
loophole to fund regular base budget activities. This
gimmick avoids confronting the problem of sequestration
and does not address the country's priorities in a
comprehensive and transparent manner. In addition to
undermining the integrity of the budget process, it
perpetuates funding uncertainty for all Government
agencies, including the Department of Defense;
(6) a growing economy is the foundation of our
security and enables the country to provide the
resources for a strong military, sound homeland
security agencies, and effective diplomacy and
international development;
(7) the Nation's projected long-term debt could have
serious consequences for our economy and security, and
that more efficient military spending has to be part of
an overall plan that effectively deals with this
problem;
(8) reining in wasteful spending at the Nation's
security agencies, including the Department of
Defense--the last department still unable to pass an
audit--such as the elimination of duplicative programs
that have been identified by the Government
Accountability Office needs to continue as a priority;
(9) according to GAO, 42 percent of the Department of
Defense's major weapons system acquisition programs had
unit cost growth of 25 percent or more and effective
implementation of weapons acquisition reforms at the
Department of Defense can help control excessive cost
growth in the development of new weapons systems and
help ensure that weapons systems are delivered on time
and in adequate quantities to equip our servicemen and
servicewomen;
(10) the Department of Defense should continue to
review defense plans and requirements to ensure that
weapons developed to counter Cold War-era threats are
not redundant and are applicable to 21st century
threats, which should include, with the participation
of the National Nuclear Security Administration,
examination of requirements for the nuclear weapons
stockpile, nuclear weapons delivery systems, and
nuclear weapons and infrastructure modernization;
(11) weapons technologies should be proven to work
through adequate testing before advancing them to the
production phase of the acquisition process;
(12) the Pentagon's operation and maintenance budget
has grown for decades between 2.5 percent and 3.0
percent above inflation each year on a per service
member basis, and it is imperative that unsustainable
cost growth be controlled in this area;
(13) nearly all of the increase in the Federal
civilian workforce from 2001 to 2014 is due to
increases at security-related agencies--Department of
Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of
Veterans Affairs, and Department of Justice--and the
increase, in part, represents a transition to ensure
civil servants, as opposed to private contractors, are
performing inherently governmental work and an increase
to a long-depleted acquisition and auditing workforce
at the Pentagon to ensure effective management of
weapons systems programs, to eliminate the use of
contractors to oversee other contractors, and to
prevent waste, fraud, and abuse;
(14) proposals to implement an indiscriminate 10
percent across-the-board cut to the Federal civilian
workforce would adversely affect security agencies,
leaving them unable to manage their total workforce,
which includes contractors, and their operations in a
cost-effective manner; and
(15) cooperative threat reduction and other
nonproliferation programs (securing ``loose nukes'' and
other materials used in weapons of mass destruction),
which were highlighted as high priorities by the 9/11
Commission, need to be funded at a level that is
commensurate with the evolving threat.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the House that--
(1) the sequester required by the Budget Control Act
of 2011 for fiscal years 2016 through 2021 should be
rescinded and replaced by a deficit reduction plan that
is balanced, that makes smart spending cuts, that
requires everyone to pay their fair share, and that
takes into account a comprehensive national security
strategy that includes careful consideration of
international, defense, homeland security, and law
enforcement programs; and
(2) efficiencies can be achieved in the national
defense budget without compromising our security
through greater emphasis on eliminating duplicative and
wasteful programs, reforming the acquisition process,
identifying and constraining unsustainable operating
costs, and through careful analysis of our national
security needs.

SEC. 517. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON CLIMATE CHANGE SCIENCE.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) The United States Government Accountability
Office described climate change as, ``a complex,
crosscutting issue that poses risks to many
environmental and economic systems--including
agriculture, infrastructure, ecosystems, and human
health--and presents a significant financial risk to
the Federal Government''.
(2) The Department of Defense's Climate Change
Adaptation Roadmap warns, ``Climate change will affect
the Department of Defense's ability to defend the
Nation and poses immediate risks to U.S. national
security''.
(3) The National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration's National Climatic Data Center reported
14 of the 15 warmest years on record occurred in the
first 15 years of this century. Furthermore, 2014 was
the warmest year on record across global land and ocean
surfaces.
(4) The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change concluded the effects of climate change
are occurring worldwide, ``The impacts of climate
change have already been felt in recent decades on all
continents and across the oceans''.
(5) The United States National Research Council's
National Climate Assessment and Development Advisory
Committee found climate change affects, ``human health,
water supply, agriculture, transportation, energy,
coastal areas, and many other sectors of society, with
increasingly adverse impacts on the American economy
and quality of life''.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the House that climate
change presents a significant financial risk to the Federal
Government. Climate change science provides critical
information for protecting human health, defending the United
States, and preserving economic and environmental systems
throughout the world.

SEC. 518. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON FINANCIAL CONSUMER PROTECTION.

(a) Findings.--The House finds that--
(1) the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the
Bureau) created by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 is an important
component of the country's response to the financial
crisis and recession;
(2) the Bureau is playing a critical role in
protecting student loan borrowers, older Americans,
service members, and other consumers, especially in
minority and low-income communities. It has implemented
new rules for mortgage markets and prepaid cards, and
also successfully recovered $5.3 billion on behalf of
more than 15 million consumers and service members;
(3) the Bureau's funding from the Federal Reserve's
operations help give it important independence from
efforts to interfere with its vital mission and
activities, independence on par with every other
banking regulator; and
(4) the Bureau has already faced and overcome efforts
to obstruct its operations.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the House Congress will
continue to support the vital work of the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau and retain its current financing structure to
fund its resource needs.

SEC. 519. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON THE USE OF TAXPAYER FUNDS.

It is the policy of this resolution that the House should
lead by example and identify any savings that can be achieved
through greater productivity and efficiency gains in the
operation and maintenance of House services and resources like
printing, conferences, utilities, telecommunications,
furniture, grounds maintenance, postage, and rent. This should
include a review of policies and procedures for acquisition of
goods and services to eliminate any unnecessary spending. The
Committee on House Administration shall review the policies
pertaining to the services provided to Members of Congress and
House Committees, and shall identify ways to reduce any
subsidies paid for the operation of the House gym, Barbershop,
Salon, and the House dining room. Further, it is the policy of
this resolution that no taxpayer funds may be used to purchase
first class airfare or to lease corporate jets for Members of
Congress.

SEC. 520. POLICY STATEMENT ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE REDUCTION
OF UNNECESSARY AND WASTEFUL SPENDING.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) The Government Accountability Office (``GAO'') is
required by law to identify examples of waste,
duplication, and overlap in Federal programs, and has
so identified dozens of such examples.
(2) The Comptroller General has stated that
addressing the identified waste, duplication, and
overlap in Federal programs ``could lead to tens of
billions of dollars of additional savings, with
significant opportunities for improved efficiencies,
cost savings, or revenue enhancements''.
(3) The Federal Government spends about $80 billion
each year for information technology. GAO has
identified opportunities for savings and improved
efficiencies in the Government's information technology
infrastructure.
(4) Federal agencies reported an estimated $125
billion in improper payments in fiscal year 2014.
(5) Under clause 2 of Rule XI of the Rules of the
House of Representatives, each standing committee must
hold at least one hearing during each 120 day period
following its establishment on waste, fraud, abuse, or
mismanagement in Government programs.
(6) According to the Congressional Budget Office, by
fiscal year 2016, 35 laws will expire. Timely
reauthorizations of these laws would ensure assessments
of program justification and effectiveness.
(7) The findings resulting from congressional
oversight of Federal Government programs may result in
programmatic changes in both authorizing statutes and
program funding levels.
(b) Policy.--Each authorizing committee annually shall
include in its Views and Estimates letter required under
section 301(d) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974
recommendations to the Committee on the Budget of programs
within the jurisdiction of such committee whose funding should
be changed.

TITLE VI--ESTIMATES OF DIRECT SPENDING

SEC. 601. DIRECT SPENDING.

(a) Means-Tested Direct Spending.--
(1) For means-tested direct spending, the average
rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the
10-year period preceding fiscal year 2016 is 6.8
percent.
(2) For means-tested direct spending, the estimated
average rate of growth in the total level of outlays
during the 10-year period beginning with fiscal year
2016 is 4.6 percent under current law.
(3) The following reforms are proposed in this
concurrent resolution for means-tested direct spending:
(A) In 1996, a Republican Congress and a
Democratic president reformed welfare by
limiting the duration of benefits, giving
States more control over the program, and
helping recipients find work. In the five years
following passage, child-poverty rates fell,
welfare caseloads fell, and workers' wages
increased. This budget applies the lessons of
welfare reform to both the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program and Medicaid.
(B) For Medicaid, this budget assumes the
conversion of the Federal share of Medicaid
spending into flexible State allotments, which
States will be able to tailor to meet their
unique needs. Such a reform would end the
misguided one-size-fits-all approach that ties
the hands of State governments and would
provide States with the freedom and flexibility
they have long requested in the Medicaid
program. Moreover, this budget assumes the
repeal of the Medicaid expansions in the
President's health care law, relieving State
governments of the crippling one-size-fits-all
enrollment mandates, as well as the
overwhelming pressure the law's Medicaid
expansion puts on an already-strained system.
(C) For the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program, this budget assumes the conversion of
the program into a flexible State allotment
tailored to meet each State's needs. The
allotment would increase based on the
Department of Agriculture Thrifty Food Plan
index and beneficiary growth. Such a reform
would provide incentives for States to ensure
dollars will go towards those who need them
most.
(b) Nonmeans-Tested Direct Spending.--
(1) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, the average
rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the
10-year period preceding fiscal year 2016 is 5.4
percent.
(2) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, the
estimated average rate of growth in the total level of
outlays during the 10-year period beginning with fiscal
year 2016 is 5.5 percent under current law.
(3) The following reforms are proposed in this
concurrent resolution for nonmeans-tested direct
spending:
(A) For Medicare, this budget advances
policies to put seniors, not the Federal
Government, in control of their health care
decisions. Future retirees would be able to
choose from a range of guaranteed coverage
options, with private plans competing alongside
the traditional fee-for-service Medicare
program. Medicare would provide a premium-
support payment either to pay for or offset the
premium of the plan chosen by the senior,
depending on the plan's cost. The Medicare
premium-support payment would be adjusted so
that the sick would receive higher payments if
their conditions worsened; lower-income seniors
would receive additional assistance to help
cover out-of-pocket costs; and wealthier
seniors would assume responsibility for a
greater share of their premiums. Putting
seniors in charge of how their health care
dollars are spent will force providers to
compete against each other on price and
quality. This market competition will act as a
real check on widespread waste and skyrocketing
health care costs. As with previous budgets,
this program will begin in 2024 and makes no
changes to those in or near retirement.
(B) In keeping with a recommendation from the
National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility
and Reform, this budget calls for Federal
employees--including Members of Congress and
congressional staff--to make greater
contributions toward their own retirement.

TITLE VIII--POLICY STATEMENTS

SEC. 801. POLICY STATEMENT ON BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT.

SEC. 802. POLICY STATEMENT ON BUDGET PROCESS AND BASELINE REFORM.

SEC. 803. POLICY STATEMENT ON ECONOMIC GROWTH AND JOB CREATION.

SEC. 804. POLICY STATEMENT ON TAX REFORM.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) A world-class tax system should be simple, fair,
and promote (rather than impede) economic growth. The
United States tax code fails on all three counts: It is
notoriously complex, patently unfair, and highly
inefficient. The tax code's complexity distorts
decisions to work, save, and invest, which leads to
slower economic growth, lower wages, and less job
creation.
(2) Over the past decade alone, there have been 4,107
changes to the tax code, more than one per day. Many of
the major changes over the years have involved carving
out special preferences, exclusions, or deductions for
various activities or groups. These loopholes add up to
more than $1 trillion per year and make the code
unfair, inefficient, and highly complex.
(3) In addition, these tax preferences are
disproportionately used by upper-income individuals.
(4) The large amount of tax preferences that pervade
the code end up narrowing the tax base. A narrow tax
base, in turn, requires much higher tax rates to raise
a given amount of revenue.
(5) It is estimated that American taxpayers end up
spending $160 billion and roughly 6 billion hours a
year complying with the tax code waste of time and
resources that could be used in more productive
activities.
(6) Standard economic theory shows that high marginal
tax rates dampen the incentives to work, save, and
invest, which reduces economic output and job creation.
Lower economic output, in turn, mutes the intended
revenue gain from higher marginal tax rates.
(7) Roughly half of U.S. active business income and
half of private sector employment are derived from
business entities (such as partnerships, S
corporations, and sole proprietorships) that are taxed
on a ``pass-through'' basis, meaning the income flows
through to the tax returns of the individual owners and
is taxed at the individual rate structure rather than
at the corporate rate. Small businesses, in particular,
tend to choose this form for Federal tax purposes, and
the top Federal rate on such small business income can
reach nearly 45 percent. For these reasons, sound
economic policy requires lowering marginal rates on
these pass-through entities.
(8) The U.S. corporate income tax rate (including
Federal, State, and local taxes) sums to slightly more
than 39 percent, the highest rate in the industrialized
world. Tax rates this high suppress wages and
discourage investment and job creation, distort
business activity, and put American businesses at a
competitive disadvantage with foreign competitors.
(9) By deterring potential investment, the U.S.
corporate tax restrains economic growth and job
creation. The U.S. tax rate differential with other
countries also fosters a variety of complicated
multinational corporate behaviors intended to avoid the
tax, which have the effect of moving the tax base
offshore, destroying American jobs, and decreasing
corporate revenue.
(10) The ``worldwide'' structure of U.S.
international taxation essentially taxes earnings of
United States firms twice, putting them at a
significant competitive disadvantage with competitors
with more competitive international tax systems.
(11) Reforming the United States tax code to a more
competitive international system would boost the
competitiveness of United States companies operating
abroad and it would also greatly reduce tax avoidance.
(12) The tax code imposes costs on American workers
through lower wages, on consumers in higher prices, and
on investors in diminished returns.
(13) Revenues have averaged about 17.4 percent of the
economy throughout modern American history. Revenues
rise above this level under current law to 18.3 percent
of the economy by the end of the 10-year budget window.
(14) Attempting to raise revenue through new tax
increases to meet out-of-control spending would sink
the economy and Americans' ability to save for their
retirement and their children's education.
(15) This resolution also rejects the idea of
instituting a carbon tax in the United States, which
some have offered as a new source of revenue. Such a
plan would damage the economy, cost jobs, and raise
prices on American consumers.
(16) Closing tax loopholes to fund spending does not
constitute fundamental tax reform.
(17) The goal of tax reform should be to curb or
eliminate loopholes and use those savings to lower tax
rates across the board not to fund more wasteful
Government spending. Washington has a spending problem,
not a revenue problem.
(18) Many economists believe that fundamental tax
reform (i.e. a broader tax base and lower tax rates)
would lead to greater labor supply and increased
investment, which, over time, would have a positive
impact on total national output.
(19) Heretofore, the congressional scorekeepers the
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Joint
Committee on Taxation (JCT).
(20) Static scoring implicitly assumes that the size
of the economy (and therefore key economic variables
such as labor supply and investment) remains fixed
throughout the considered budget horizon. This is an
abstraction from reality.
(21) A new House rule was adopted at the beginning of
the 114th Congress to help correct this problem. This
rule requires CBO and JCT to incorporate the
macroeconomic effects of major legislation into their
official cost estimates.
(22) This rule seeks to bridge the divide between
static estimates and scoring that incorporates economic
feedback effects by providing policymakers with a
greater amount of information about the likely economic
impact of policies under their consideration while at
the same time preserving traditional scoring methods
and reporting conventions.
(b) Policy on Tax Reform.--It is the policy of this
resolution that Congress should enact legislation that provides
for a comprehensive reform of the United States tax code to
promote economic growth, create American jobs, increase wages,
and benefit American consumers, investors, and workers through
fundamental tax reform that--
(1) simplifies the tax code to make it fairer to
American families and businesses and reduces the amount
of time and resources necessary to comply with tax
laws;
(2) substantially lowers tax rates for individuals
and consolidates the current seven individual income
tax brackets into fewer brackets;
(3) repeals the Alternative Minimum Tax;
(4) reduces the corporate tax rate; and
(5) transitions the tax code to a more competitive
system of international taxation in a manner that does
not discriminate against any particular type of income
or industry.

SEC. 805. POLICY STATEMENT ON TRADE.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Opening foreign markets to American exports is
vital to the United States economy and beneficial to
American workers and consumers. The Commerce Department
estimates that every $1 billion of United States
exports supports more than 5,000 jobs here at home.
(2) The United States can increase economic
opportunities for American workers and businesses
through the expansion of trade, adherence to trade
agreement rules by the United States and its trading
partners, and the elimination of foreign trade barriers
to United States goods and services.
(3) Trade Promotion Authority is a bipartisan and
bicameral effort to strengthen the role of Congress in
setting negotiating objectives for trade agreements, to
improve consultation with Congress by the
Administration, and to provide a clear framework for
congressional consideration and implementation of trade
agreements.
(4) Global trade and commerce is not a zero-sum game.
The idea that global expansion tends to ``hollow out''
United States operations is incorrect. Foreign-
affiliate activity tends to complement, not substitute
for, key parent activities in the United States such as
employment, worker compensation, and capital
investment. When United States headquartered
multinationals invest and expand operations abroad it
often leads to more jobs and economic growth at home.
(5) Trade agreements have saved the average American
family of four more than $10,000 per year, as a result
of lower duties. Trade agreements also lower the cost
of manufacturing inputs by removing duties.
(6) American businesses and workers have shown that,
on a level playing field, they can excel and surpass
the international competition.
(7) When negotiating trade agreements, United States
laws on Intellectual Property (IP) protection should be
used as a benchmark for establishing global IP
frameworks. Strong IP protections have contributed
significantly to the United States status as a world
leader in innovation across sectors, including in the
development of life-saving biologic medicines. The data
protections afforded to biologics in United States law,
including 12 years of data protection, allow continued
development of pioneering medicines to benefit patients
both in the United States and abroad. To maintain the
cycle of innovation and achieve truly 21st century
trade agreements, it is vital that our negotiators
insist on the highest standards for IP protections.
(8) The status quo of the current tax code also
undermines the competitiveness of United States
businesses and costs the United States economy
investment and jobs.
(9) The United States currently has an antiquated
system of international taxation whereby United States
multinationals operating abroad pay both the foreign-
country tax and United States corporate taxes. They are
essentially taxed twice. This puts them at an obvious
competitive disadvantage. A modern and competitive
international tax system would facilitate global
commerce for United States multinational companies and
would encourage foreign business investment and job
creation in the United States.
(10) The ability to defer United States taxes on
their foreign operations, which some erroneously refer
to as a ``tax loophole,'' cushions this disadvantage to
a certain extent. Eliminating or restricting this
provision (and others like it) would harm United States
competitiveness.
(11) This budget resolution advocates fundamental tax
reform that would lower the United States corporate
rate, now the highest in the industrialized world, and
switch to a more competitive system of international
taxation. This would make the United States a much more
attractive place to invest and station business
activity and would chip away at the incentives for
United States companies to keep their profits overseas
(because the United States corporate rate is so high).
(b) Policy on Trade.--It is the policy of this concurrent
resolution to pursue international trade, global commerce, and
a modern and competitive United States international tax system
to promote job creation in the United States. The United States
should continue to seek increased economic opportunities for
American workers and businesses through the expansion of trade
opportunities, adherence to trade agreements and rules by the
United States and its trading partners, and the elimination of
foreign trade barriers to United States goods and services by
opening new markets and by enforcing United States rights. To
that end, Congress should pass Trade Promotion Authority to
strengthen the role of Congress in setting negotiating
objectives for trade agreements, to improve consultation with
Congress by the Administration, and to provide a clear
framework for congressional consideration and implementation of
trade agreements.

SEC. 806. POLICY STATEMENT ON SOCIAL SECURITY.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) More than 55 million retirees, individuals with
disabilities, and survivors depend on Social Security.
Since enactment, Social Security has served as a vital
leg on the ``three-legged stool'' of retirement
security, which includes employer provided pensions as
well as personal savings.
(2) The Social Security Trustees Report has
repeatedly recommended that Social Security's long-term
financial challenges be addressed soon. Each year
without reform, the financial condition of Social
Security becomes more precarious and the threat to
seniors and those receiving Social Security disability
benefits becomes more pronounced:
(A) In 2016, the Disability Insurance Trust
Fund will be exhausted and program revenues
will be unable to pay scheduled benefits.
(B) In 2033, the combined Old-Age and
Survivors and Disability Trust Funds will be
exhausted, and program revenues will be unable
to pay scheduled benefits.
(C) With the exhaustion of the Trust Funds in
2033, benefits will be cut nearly 23 percent
across the board, devastating those currently
in or near retirement and those who rely on
Social Security the most.
(3) The recession and continued low economic growth
have exacerbated the looming fiscal crisis facing
Social Security. The most recent Congressional Budget
Office (CBO) projections find that Social Security will
run cash deficits of more than $2 trillion over the
next 10 years.
(4) Lower income Americans rely on Social Security
for a larger proportion of their retirement income.
Therefore, reforms should take into consideration the
need to protect lower income Americans' retirement
security.
(5) The Disability Insurance program provides an
essential income safety net for those with disabilities
and their families. According to the CBO, between 1970
and 2012, the number of people receiving disability
benefits (both disabled workers and their dependent
family members) has increased by more than 300 percent
from 2.7 million to over 10.9 million. This increase is
not due strictly to population growth or decreases in
health. David Autor and Mark Duggan have found that the
increase in individuals on disability does not reflect
a decrease in self-reported health. CBO attributes
program growth to changes in demographics, changes in
the composition of the labor force and compensation, as
well as Federal policies.
(6) If this program is not reformed, families who
rely on the lifeline that disability benefits provide
will face benefit cuts of up to 20 percent in 2016,
devastating individuals who need assistance the most.
(7) In the past, Social Security has been reformed on
a bipartisan basis, most notably by the ``Greenspan
Commission'' which helped to address Social Security
shortfalls for more than a generation.
(8) Americans deserve action by the President, the
House, and the Senate to preserve and strengthen Social
Security. It is critical that bipartisan action be
taken to address the looming insolvency of Social
Security. In this spirit, this resolution creates a
bipartisan opportunity to find solutions by requiring
policymakers to ensure that Social Security remains a
critical part of the safety net.
(b) Policy on Social Security.--It is the policy of this
resolution that Congress should work on a bipartisan basis to
make Social Security sustainably solvent. This resolution
assumes reform of a current law trigger, such that:
(1) If in any year the Board of Trustees of the
Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and
the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund annual
Trustees Report determines that the 75-year actuarial
balance of the Social Security Trust Funds is in
deficit, and the annual balance of the Social Security
Trust Funds in the 75th year is in deficit, the Board
of Trustees should, no later than September 30 of the
same calendar year, submit to the President
recommendations for statutory reforms necessary to
achieve a positive 75-year actuarial balance and a
positive annual balance in the 75th-year.
Recommendations provided to the President must be
agreed upon by both Public Trustees of the Board of
Trustees.
(2) Not later than 1 December of the same calendar
year in which the Board of Trustees submit their
recommendations, the President should promptly submit
implementing legislation to both Houses of Congress
including his recommendations necessary to achieve a
positive 75-year actuarial balance and a positive
annual balance in the 75th year. The Majority Leader of
the Senate and the Majority Leader of the House should
introduce the President's legislation upon receipt.
(3) Within 60 days of the President submitting
legislation, the committees of jurisdiction to which
the legislation has been referred should report a bill,
which should be considered by the full House or Senate
under expedited procedures.
(4) Legislation submitted by the President should--
(A) protect those in or near retirement;
(B) preserve the safety net for those who
count on Social Security the most, including
those with disabilities and survivors;
(C) improve fairness for participants;
(D) reduce the burden on, and provide
certainty for, future generations; and
(E) secure the future of the Disability
Insurance program while addressing the needs of
those with disabilities today and improving the
determination process.
(c) Policy on Disability Insurance.--It is the policy of this
resolution that Congress and the President should enact
legislation on a bipartisan basis to reform the Disability
Insurance program prior to its insolvency in 2016 and should
not raid the Social Security retirement system without reforms
to the Disability Insurance system. This resolution assumes
reform that--
(1) ensure benefits continue to be paid to
individuals with disabilities and their family members
who rely on them;
(2) prevents a 20 percent across-the-board benefit
cut;
(3) makes the Disability Insurance program work
better; and
(4) promotes opportunity for those trying to return
to work.
(d) Policy on Social Security Solvency.--Any legislation that
Congress considers to improve the solvency of the Disability
Insurance trust fund also must improve the long-term solvency
of the combined Old Age and Survivors Disability Insurance
(OASDI) trust fund.

SEC. 807. POLICY STATEMENT ON REPEALING THE PRESIDENT'S HEALTH CARE LAW
AND PROMOTING REAL HEALTH CARE REFORM.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) The President's health care law put Washington's
priorities first, and not patients'. The Affordable
Care Act (ACA) has failed to reduce health care
premiums as promised; instead, the law mandated
benefits and coverage levels, denying patients the
opportunity to choose the type of coverage that best
suits their health needs and driving up health coverage
costs. A typical family's health care premiums were
supposed to decline by $2,500 a year; instead,
according to the 2014 Employer Health Benefits Survey,
health care premiums have increased by 7 percent for
individuals and families since 2012.
(2) The President pledged ``If you like your health
care plan, you can keep your health care plan.''
Instead, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office
now estimates 9 million Americans with employment-based
health coverage will lose those plans due to the
President's health care law, further limiting patient
choice.
(3) Then-Speaker of the House, Pelosi, said that the
President's health care law would create 4 million jobs
over the life of the law and almost 400,000 jobs
immediately. Instead, the Congressional Budget Office
estimates that the reduction in hours worked due to
Obamacare represents a decline of about 2.0 to 2.5
million full-time equivalent workers, compared with
what would have occurred in the absence of the law. The
full impact on labor represents a reduction in
employment by 1.5 percent to 2.0 percent, while
additional studies show less modest results. A recent
study by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University
estimates that Obamacare will reduce employment by up
to 3 percent, or about 4 million full-time equivalent
workers.
(4) The President has charged the Independent Payment
Advisory Board, a panel of unelected bureaucrats, with
cutting Medicare by an additional $20.9 billion over
the next ten years, according to the President's most
recent budget.
(5) Since ACA was signed into law, the administration
has repeatedly failed to implement it as written. The
President has unilaterally acted to make a total of 28
changes, delays, and exemptions. The President has
signed into law another 17 changes made by Congress.
The Supreme Court struck down the forced expansion of
Medicaid; ruled the individual ``mandate'' could only
be characterized as a tax to remain constitutional; and
rejected the requirement that closely held companies
provide health insurance to their employees if doing so
violates these companies' religious beliefs. Even now,
almost five years after enactment, the Supreme Court
continues to evaluate the legality of how the
President's administration has implemented the law. All
of these changes prove the folly underlying the entire
program health care in the United States cannot be run
from a centralized bureaucracy.
(6) The President's health care law is unaffordable,
intrusive, overreaching, destructive, and unworkable.
The law should be fully repealed, allowing for real,
patient-centered health care reform: the development of
real health care reforms that puts patients first, that
make affordable, quality health care available to all
Americans, and that build on the innovation and
creativity of all the participants in the health care
sector.
(b) Policy on Promoting Real Health Care Reform.--It is the
policy of this resolution that the President's health care law
should be fully repealed and real health care reform promoted
in accordance with the following principles:
(1) In general.--Health care reform should enhance
affordability, accessibility, quality, innovation,
choices and responsiveness in health care coverage for
all Americans, putting patients, families, and doctors
in charge, not Washington, DC. These reforms should
encourage increased competition and transparency. Under
the President's health care law, government controls
Americans' health care choices. Under true, patient-
centered reform, Americans would.
(2) Affordability.--Real reform should be centered on
ensuring that all Americans, no matter their age,
income, or health status, have the ability to afford
health care coverage. The health care delivery
structure should be improved, and individuals should
not be priced out of the health insurance market due to
pre-existing conditions, but nationalized health care
is not only unnecessary to accomplish this, it
undermines the goal. Individuals should be allowed to
join together voluntarily to pool risk through
mechanisms such as Individual Membership Associations
and Small Employer Membership Associations.
(3) Accessability.--Instead of Washington outlining
for Americans the ways they cannot use their health
insurance, reforms should make health coverage more
portable. Individuals should be able to own their
insurance and have it follow them in and out of jobs
throughout their career. Small business owners should
be permitted to band together across State lines
through their membership in bona fide trade or
professional associations to purchase health coverage
for their families and employees at a low cost. This
will increase small businesses' bargaining power,
volume discounts, and administrative efficiencies while
giving them freedom from State-mandated benefit
packages. Also, insurers licensed to sell policies in
one State should be permitted to offer them to
residents in any other State, and consumers should be
permitted to shop for health insurance across State
lines, as they are with other insurance products
online, by mail, by phone, or in consultation with an
insurance agent.
(4) Quality.--Incentives for providers to deliver
high-quality, responsive, and coordinated care will
promote patient outcomes and drive down health care
costs. likewise, reforms that work to restore the
patient-physician relationship by reducing
administrative burdens and allowing physicians to do
what they do best: care for patients
(5) Choices.--Individuals and families should be free
to secure the health care coverage that best meets
their needs, rather than instituting one-size-fits-all
directives from Federal bureaucracies such as the
Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Health and
Human Services, and the Independent Payment Advisory
Board.
(6) Innovation.--Instead of stifling innovation in
health care technologies, treatments, medications, and
therapies with Federal mandates, taxes, and price
controls, a reformed health care system should
encourage research, development and innovation.
(7) Responsiveness.--Reform should return authority
to States wherever possible to make the system more
responsive to patients and their needs. Instead of
tying States' hands with Federal requirements for their
Medicaid programs, the Federal Government should return
control of this program to the States. Not only does
the current Medicaid program drive up Federal debt and
threaten to bankrupt State budgets, but States are
better positioned to provide quality, affordable care
to those who are eligible for the program and to track
down and weed out waste, fraud and abuse. Beneficiary
choices in the State Children's Health Insurance
Program (SCHIP) and Medicaid should be improved. States
should make available the purchase of private insurance
as an option to their Medicaid and SCHIP populations
(though they should not require enrollment).
(8) Reforms.--Reforms should be made to prevent
lawsuit abuse and curb the practice of defensive
medicine, which are significant drivers increasing
health care costs. The burden of proof in medical
malpractice cases should be based on compliance with
best practice guidelines, and States should be free to
implement those policies to best suit their needs.

SEC. 808. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICARE.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) More than 50 million Americans depend on Medicare
for their health security.
(2) The Medicare Trustees Report has repeatedly
recommended that Medicare's long-term financial
challenges be addressed soon. Each year without reform,
the financial condition of Medicare becomes more
precarious and the threat to those in or near
retirement becomes more pronounced. According to the
Medicare Trustees Report--
(A) the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund will be
exhausted in 2030 and unable to pay scheduled
benefits;
(B) Medicare enrollment is expected to
increase by over 50 percent in the next two
decades, as 10,000 baby boomers reach
retirement age each day;
(C) enrollees remain in Medicare three times
longer than at the outset of the program;
(D) current workers' payroll contributions
pay for current beneficiaries;
(E) in 2013, the ratio was 3.2 workers per
beneficiary, but this falls to 2.3 in 2030 and
continues to decrease over time;
(F) most Medicare beneficiaries receive about
three dollars in Medicare benefits for every
one dollar paid into the program; and
(G) Medicare spending is growing faster than
the economy and Medicare outlays are currently
rising at a rate of 6.5 percent per year over
the next 10 years. According to the
Congressional Budget Office's 2014 Long-Term
Budget Outlook, spending on Medicare is
projected to reach 5 percent of gross domestic
product (GDP) by 2043 and 9.3 percent of GDP by
2089.
(3) Failing to address this problem will leave
millions of American seniors without adequate health
security and younger generations burdened with enormous
debt to pay for spending levels that cannot be
sustained.
(b) Policy on Medicare Reform.--It is the policy of this
resolution to preserve the program for those in or near
retirement and strengthen Medicare for future beneficiaries.
(c) Assumptions.--This resolution assumes reform of the
Medicare program such that--
(1) current Medicare benefits are preserved for those
in or near retirement;
(2) permanent reform of the sustainable growth rate
is responsibly accounted for to ensure physicians
continue to participate in the Medicare program and
provide quality health care for beneficiaries;
(3) when future generations reach eligibility,
Medicare is reformed to provide a premium support
payment and a selection of guaranteed health coverage
options from which recipients can choose a plan that
best suits their needs;
(4) Medicare will maintain traditional fee-for-
service as a plan option;
(5) Medicare will provide additional assistance for
lower income beneficiaries and those with greater
health risks; and
(6) Medicare spending is put on a sustainable path
and the Medicare program becomes solvent over the long-
term.

SEC. 809. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICAL DISCOVERY, DEVELOPMENT, DELIVERY
AND INNOVATION.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) For decades, the Nation's commitment to the
discovery, development, and delivery of new treatments
and cures has made the United States the biomedical
innovation capital of the world, bringing life-saving
drugs and devices to patients and well over a million
high-paying jobs to local communities.
(2) Thanks to the visionary and determined leadership
of innovators throughout America, including industry,
academic medical centers, and the National Institutes
of Health (NIH), the United States has led the way in
early discovery. The United States leadership role is
being threatened, however, as other countries
contribute more to basic research from both public and
private sources.
(3) The Organisation for Economic Development and
Cooperation predicts that China, for example, will
outspend the United States in total research and
development by the end of the decade.
(4) Federal policies should foster innovation in
health care, not stifle it. America should maintain its
world leadership in medical science by encouraging
competitive forces to work through the marketplace in
delivering cures and therapies to patients.
(5) Too often the bureaucracy and red-tape in
Washington hold back medical innovation and prevent new
lifesaving treatments from reaching patients. This
resolution recognizes the valuable role of the NIH and
the indispensable contributions to medical research
coming from outside Washington.
(6) America is the greatest, most innovative Nation
on Earth. Her people are innovators, entrepreneurs,
visionaries, and relentless builders of the future.
Americans were responsible for the first telephone, the
first airplane, the first computer, for putting the
first man on the moon, for creating the first vaccine
for polio and for legions of other scientific and
medical breakthroughs that have improved and prolonged
human health and life for countless people in America
and around the world.
(b) Policy on Medical Innovation.--
(1) It is the policy of this resolution to support
the important work of medical innovators throughout the
country, including private-sector innovators, medical
centers and the National Institutes of Health.
(2) At the same time, the budget calls for continued
strong funding for the agencies that engage in valuable
research and development, while also urging Washington
to get out of the way of researchers, discoverers and
innovators all over the country.

SEC. 810. POLICY STATEMENT ON FEDERAL REGULATORY REFORM.

(a) Findings.-- The House finds the following:
(1) Excessive regulation at the Federal level has
hurt job creation and dampened the economy, slowing the
Nation's recovery from the economic recession.
(2) Since President Obama's inauguration in 2009, the
administration has issued more than 468,500 pages of
regulations in the Federal Register including 70,066
pages in 2014.
(3) The National Association of Manufacturers
estimates the total cost of regulations is as high as
$2.03 trillion per year. Since 2009, the White House
has generated more than $494 billion in regulatory
activity, with an additional $87.6 billion in
regulatory costs currently pending.
(4) The Dodd-Frank financial services legislation
(Public Law 111-203) has resulted in more than $32
billion in compliance costs and saddled job creators
with more than 63 million hours of compliance
paperwork.
(5) Implementation of the Affordable Care Act to date
has added 132.9 million annual hours of compliance
paperwork, imposing $24.3 billion of compliance costs
on the private sector and an $8 billion cost burden on
the States.
(6) The highest regulatory costs come from rules
issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA);
these regulations are primarily targeted at the coal
industry. In June 2014, the EPA proposed a rule to cut
carbon pollution from the Nation's power plants. The
proposed standards are unachievable with current
commercially available technology, resulting in a de-
facto ban on new coal-fired power plants.
(7) Coal-fired power plants provide roughly 40
percent of the United States electricity at a low cost.
Unfairly targeting the coal industry with costly and
unachievable regulations will increase energy prices,
disproportionately disadvantaging energy-intensive
industries like manufacturing and construction, and
will make life more difficult for millions of low-
income and middle class families already struggling to
pay their bills.
(8) Three hundred and thirty coal units are being
retired or converted as a result of EPA regulations.
Combined with the de-facto prohibition on new plants,
these retirements and conversions may further increase
the cost of electricity.
(9) A recent study by the energy market analysis
group Energy Ventures Analysis Inc. estimates the
average energy bill in West Virginia will rise $750 per
household by 2020, due in part to EPA regulations. West
Virginia receives 95 percent of its electricity from
coal.
(10) The Heritage Foundation found that a phase-out
of coal would cost 600,000 jobs by the end of 2023,
resulting in an aggregate gross domestic product
decrease of $2.23 trillion over the entire period and
reducing the income of a family of four by $1,200 per
year. Of these jobs, 330,000 will come from the
manufacturing sector, with California, Texas, Ohio,
Illinois, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York, Indiana,
North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Georgia seeing the
highest job losses.
(b) Policy on Federal Regulatory Reform.--It is the policy of
this resolution that Congress should, in consultation with the
public burdened by excessive regulation, enact legislation
that--
(1) promotes economic growth and job creation by
eliminating unnecessary red tape and streamlining and
simplifying Federal regulations;
(2) requires the implementation of a regulatory
budget to be allocated amongst Government agencies,
which would require congressional approval and limit
the maximum costs of regulations in a given year;
(3) requires congressional approval of all new major
regulations (those with an impact of $100 million or
more) before enactment as opposed to current law in
which Congress must expressly disapprove of regulation
to prevent it from becoming law, which would keep
Congress engaged as to pending regulatory policy and
prevent costly and unsound policies from being
implemented and becoming effective;
(4) requires a three year retrospective cost-benefit
analysis of all new major regulations, to ensure that
regulations operate as intended;
(5) reinforces the requirement of regulatory impact
analysis for regulations proposed by executive branch
agencies but also expands the requirement to
independent agencies so that by law they consider the
costs and benefits of proposed regulations rather than
merely being encouraged to do so as is current
practice; and
(6) requires a formal rulemaking process for all
major regulations, which would increase transparency
over the process and allow interested parties to
communicate their views on proposed legislation to
agency officials.

SEC. 818. POLICY STATEMENT ON RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP OF TAXPAYER
DOLLARS.

(a) Findings.-- The House finds the following:
(1) The budget for the House of Representatives is
$188 million less than it was when Republicans became
the majority in 2011.
(2) The House of Representatives has achieved
significant savings by consolidating operations and
renegotiating contracts.
(b) Policy on Responsible Stewardship of Taxpayer Dollars.--
It is the policy of this resolution that:
(1) The House of Representatives must be a model for
the responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources and
therefore must identify any savings that can be
achieved through greater productivity and efficiency
gains in the operation and maintenance of House
services and resources like printing, conferences,
utilities, telecommunications, furniture, grounds
maintenance, postage, and rent. This should include a
review of policies and procedures for acquisition of
goods and services to eliminate any unnecessary
spending. The Committee on House Administration should
review the policies pertaining to the services provided
to Members and committees of the House, and should
identify ways to reduce any subsidies paid for the
operation of the House gym, barber shop, salon, and the
House dining room.
(2) No taxpayer funds may be used to purchase first
class airfare or to lease corporate jets for Members of
Congress.
(3) Retirement benefits for Members of Congress
should not include free, taxpayer-funded health care
for life.

SEC. 819. POLICY STATEMENT ON ``NO BUDGET, NO PAY''.

It is the policy of this resolution that Congress should
agree to a concurrent resolution on the budget every year
pursuant to section 301 of the Congressional Budget Act of
1974. If by April 15, a House of Congress has not agreed to a
concurrent resolution on the budget, the payroll administrator
of that House should carry out this policy in the same manner
as the provisions of Public Law 113-3, the No Budget, No Pay
Act of 2013, and should place in an escrow account all
compensation otherwise required to be made for Members of that
House of Congress. Withheld compensation should be released to
Members of that House of Congress the earlier of the day on
which that House of Congress agrees to a concurrent resolution
on the budget, pursuant to section 301 of the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974, or the last day of that Congress.

SEC. 820. POLICY STATEMENT ON NATIONAL SECURITY FUNDING.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Russian aggression, the growing threats of the
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in the Middle
East, North Korean and Iranian nuclear and missile
programs, and continued Chinese investments in high-end
military capabilities and cyber warfare shape the
parameters of an increasingly complex and challenging
security environment.
(2) All four current service chiefs testified that
the National Military Strategy could not be executed at
sequestration levels.
(3) The independent and bipartisan National Defense
Panel conducted risk assessments of force structure
changes triggered by the Budget Control Act of 2011
(BCA) and concluded that in addition to previous cuts
to defense dating back to 2009, the sequestration of
defense discretionary spending has ``caused significant
shortfalls in U.S. military readiness and both present
and future capabilities''.
(4) The President's fiscal year 2016 budget
irresponsibly ignores current law and requests a
defense budget $38 billion above the caps for
rhetorical gain. By creating an expectation of spending
without a plan to avoid the BCA's guaranteed sequester
upon breaching of its caps, the White House's proposal
compounds the fiscal uncertainty that has affected the
military's ability to adequately plan for future
contingencies and make investments crucial for the
Nation's defense.
(5) The President's budget proposes $1.8 trillion in
tax increases, in addition to the $1.7 trillion in tax
hikes the Administration has already imposed. The
President's tax increases would further burden economic
growth and is not a realistic source for offsets to
fund defense sequester replacement.
(b) Policy on Fiscal Year 2016 National Defense Funding.--In
fiscal year 2015, the House-passed budget resolution
anticipated $566 billion for national defense in the
discretionary base budget for fiscal year 2016. With no
necessary statutory change yet provided by Congress, the BCA
statute would require limiting national defense discretionary
base funding to $523 billion in fiscal year 2016. However, in
total with $90 billion, the House Budget estimate for Overseas
Contingency Operations funding for the Department of Defense,
the fiscal year 2016 budget provides over $613 billion total
for defense spending that is higher than the President's budget
request for the fiscal year. This concurrent resolution
provides $22 billion above the President's Five Year Defense
Plan and $151 billion above the 10-year totals. This would also
be $387 billion above the 10-year total for current levels.
(c) Defense Readiness and Modernization Fund.--(1) The budget
resolution recognizes the need to ensure robust funding for
national defense while maintaining overall fiscal discipline.
The budget resolution prioritizes our national defense and the
needs of the warfighter by providing needed dollars through the
creation of the ``Defense Readiness and Modernization Fund''.
(2) The Defense Readiness and Modernization Fund provides the
mechanism for Congress to responsibly allocate in a deficit-
neutral way the resources the military needs to secure the
safety and liberty of United States citizens from threats at
home and abroad. The Defense Readiness and Modernization Fund
will provide the chair of the Committee on the Budget of the
House the ability to increase allocations to support
legislation that would provide for the Department of Defense
warfighting capabilities, modernization, a temporary increase
in end strength, training and maintenance associated with
combat readiness, activities to reach full auditability of the
Department of Defense's financial statements, and
implementation of military and compensation reforms.
(d) Sequester Replacement for National Defense.--This
concurrent resolution encourages an immediate reevaluation of
Federal Government priorities to maintain the strength of
America's national security posture. In identifying policies to
restructure and stabilize the Government's major entitlement
programs which, along with net interest, will consume all
Federal revenue in less than 20 years. The budget also charts a
course that can ensure the availability of needed national
security resources.
