What this amendment would do
Plain and simple, this is about making sure our tax rules are fair and holding officials accountable to working families.
What It Aims to Do
-
Creates a reserve fund: The amendment sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund for the Senate Committee on the Budget.
-
Changes the math: It allows the Chairman of the Budget Committee to adjust budget levels and the pay-as-you-go ledger for specific legislation.
-
Focuses on taxes: The targeted legislation must relate to closing tax loopholes for billionaires and supporting tax relief for taxpayers earning under $400,000 a year.
-
Protects the budget: The whole point is that any changes made cannot increase the deficit over the periods of fiscal years 2025 through 2029 or fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
