What this amendment would do

Mr. KAINE submitted the amendment, known as SA 1790, which relates to the congressional budget for the United States Government for the fiscal year 2025.

The purpose of this amendment is to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

It aims to allow changes to budget allocations and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation that provides tax cuts for the middle class, and this would be paid for by raising taxes on the wealthy.

The text specifies that any such legislation must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
