OVERVIEW

 

 

New direction and major changes needed in our economy. Congress has responded to the slowdown in our economy with a bipartisan stimulus plan designed to deliver timely, targeted, and temporary relief to 130 million households and also by making changes to address the underlying weakness in the housing market. But more needs to be done. The Administration's underinvestment in key government programs, disregard for fiscal responsibility, and failure to keep pace with the global economy has undermined the country's economic security and endangered our prospects for growth.

The 2009 budget resolution will move the country forward. It takes specific actions to make the economy stronger and the country safer. The budget balances in 2012 while accommodating tax relief for millions of middle-income families. It makes prudent investments in high-impact programs to create jobs and restore economic vitality. It funds defense and includes the resources needed to deliver excellent health care to those who have served. Homeland security funding is increased relative to the Administration, and cuts to local law enforcement programs are rejected.

U.S. economy is weakening. The likelihood of a recession in 2008 is rising, while family incomes are declining, confidence is at a 16-year low, and gasoline prices are at record levels. The health of the overall labor market has taken a turn for the worse. Unemployment rose to 5.0 percent in December, with the small recent improvement due only to more people leaving the labor force entirely. The February employment report showed the largest single-month job loss, and the first consecutive months of job loss, in five years, with 85,000 jobs lost since December. Producer inflation was unusually high in 2007 and there is evidence that because of rising food and energy costs, inflation may be spreading to overall consumer prices.

The economy is dragging anchor, impeded by record deficits and mountainous debt. The current slowdown comes on the heels of lackluster economic performance. The brief recession of 2001 was followed by the weakest recovery in modern history -- with GDP, investment, and other key indicators growing at below their average rates for other economic expansions. With the weak performance of the economy as a whole, the typical American family has fared poorly. The stagnant economy can be traced to the Administration's flawed fiscal policies. In 2001, the Administration inherited a projected ten-year (2002-2011) budget surplus of $5.6 trillion. This has been converted, under realistic estimates, into a $3.2 trillion deficit. This represents a swing of $8.8 trillion in the wrong direction -- the largest fiscal deterioration in American history. More than 80 cents of every dollar of new debt incurred since 2001 is owed to foreign investors, including foreign governments.

President's 2009 budget continues same policies. Instead of rising to meet the challenges presented by the deteriorating economy, the President's 2009 budget proposes to make the problems worse. Deep cuts in services, ranging from energy assistance to cops on the beat, are proposed. These cuts would have a significant impact on working families and communities, but the savings are not nearly enough to offset the Administration's $3 trillion in deficit-financed tax cuts.

 

2009 Budget Resolution: Rebuilding America's Future

 

 

Our budget for 2009 will help revitalize our economy while ensuring strong defense and homeland security. The budget:

Strengthens the economy by investing in programs to boost growth and create jobs.

  • Innovation: Supports the Democratic "Innovation Agenda" and the America COMPETES Act by increasing funds for technology and for research and development, including the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, Department of Energy's Office of Science, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

  • Energy: Increases energy funding by $1.2 billion over the President's budget and supports increases in efficient and renewable energy programs.

  • Education: Provides a $7.1 billion increase for the education budget function (Function 500) and rejects the President's cuts and elimination of 47 education programs.

  • Infrastructure: Invests in highways, water and other infrastructure as well as including a reserve fund that can facilitate infrastructure initiatives in a deficit-neutral manner.

 

Provides tax relief and help for families struggling to make ends meet in an economic downturn.
  • Tax Relief: Accommodates relief from the Alternative Minimum Tax for more than 20 million households, as well as middle-income tax cuts, consistent with the pay-as-you-go principle.

  • Children's Health: Facilitates an increase of up to $50 billion to expand children's health insurance to cover millions of additional uninsured children, subject to the pay-as-you-go rule.

  • Safety Net: Strengthens programs that support families by providing funding for home heating assistance, the Social Services Block Grant, and housing aid -- in contrast to the President's budget which cuts funding for these programs.

 

Restores fiscal responsibility and accountability.
  • Achieves a budget surplus of $178 billion in 2012, and beats the President's bottom line by $413 billion from 2009-2013.

  • Complies with the pay-as-you-go principle.

  • Includes nearly $1 billion in cap adjustments for program integrity efforts to crack down on waste, fraud, and abuse.

 

Makes America safer by funding defense, providing additional resources for veterans' health care, and adding substantially to homeland security.
  • Defense: Funds defense while shifting funds to high priorities such as the Cooperative Threat Reduction (commonly referred to as "loose nukes") and nuclear nonproliferation programs, and quality of life issues for the troops and their families.

  • Veterans: Addresses veterans' needs by rejecting the President's proposed new fees and increasing veterans funding by $3.6 billion relative to the amount needed to keep pace with inflation, enough to allow VA to treat 5.8 million patients in 2009, including 333,275 Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans. In addition, the budget includes two deficit-neutral reserve funds to accommodate increased education and other benefits.

  • Homeland Security: Protects Americans at home by providing higher funding levels for the four budget functions that fund the bulk of the non-DOD homeland security initiatives; increases homeland security above the Administration's request and rejects the President's cuts to first responder programs, including Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) and firefighter assistance grants.

ECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS

 

 

The budget resolution adopts the economic forecast of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), as updated in February 2008 to include the forecasted economic effects of the fiscal stimulus package, and takes CBO's March 2008 projections of spending and revenues under current law as the baseline. CBO's economic forecast is similar to the Blue Chip consensus forecast. Historically, CBO's economic forecast has proven to be slightly more accurate than that of the Administration.

CBO's economic assumptions include the following (all references are to calendar years, not fiscal years, unless otherwise noted):

Unemployment: CBO expects the unemployment rate to rise from an estimated 4.6 percent in 2007 to 5.2 percent in 2008 and 5.5 percent in 2009. The unemployment rate is assumed to average 4.9 percent for the remainder of the budget window.

Interest Rates: Interest rates are projected to be unusually low for 2008 and 2009 but rise closer to historical norms over the rest of the five-year budget window. Short-term interest rates are projected to fall to the 2.0 to 2.5 percent range in 2008 and 2009, rising to an average of 4.6 percent over the last four years of the budget window. Long-term rates are projected to fall to the 3.5 to 4.0 percent range in 2008 and 2009, rising to an average of 5.1 percent over 2010-2013.

Real GDP Growth: CBO projects that fourth-quarter-to-fourth-quarter real GDP growth will fall from 2.5 percent in 2007 to just 1.6 percent in 2008, with growth recovering to 3.0 percent in 2009 and 3.1 percent over 2010-2013.

Inflation: CBO forecasts relatively low inflation over the budget window. Most of the major inflation indices average around 2 percent throughout the budget window.

Based on an economic forecast established last November, the Administration assumes much stronger growth in real GDP and tax bases than CBO projects. This and other differences in the economic forecast result in the Administration's forecast showing an extra $296 billion in revenue over fiscal years 2009-2013 compared with CBO's March forecast.

The budget resolution matches the total level of revenues under the CBO baseline over the 2008-2013 period, with revenue losses in 2009 and an offsetting gain in 2010-2013, consistent with the resolution's reconciliation instruction to the Ways and Means Committee regarding revenue. By following the baseline revenue total for 2008-2013, the budget resolution achieves current-law total revenue levels, but does not necessarily assume maintaining current tax law. Thus, the budget resolution accommodates reform of the Alternative Minimum Tax and extension of tax cuts benefitting middle-income households (including, but not limited to, the child tax credit, marriage penalty relief, the 10 percent bracket, and the deduction for State and local sales taxes), as long as such changes to tax law are accomplished, consistent with the House pay-as-you-go rule, in a deficit-neutral manner over the 2008-2013 and 2008-2018 periods. The budget resolution also accommodates deficit-neutral extension of other expiring tax provisions, such as the research and experimentation tax credit and the deduction for small business expensing. In addition, the resolution accommodates deficit-neutral elimination of estate taxes on all but a minute fraction of estates by reforming and substantially increasing the unified tax credit. It also accommodates other high priority deficit-neutral revenue adjustments, such as tax incentives for energy efficiency and renewable energy, and a tax credit for local bonds to support the repair or construction of public schools.

Under the Bush Administration (since January 2001) the federal debt has increased by $3.6 trillion to over $9.3 trillion, and foreign holdings of Treasuries have increased from $1.0 trillion to $2.4 trillion (as of December 2007), accounting for more than half of the marketable debt held by the public.

There is no higher priority than the defense of our nation. This budget resolution accordingly provides robust funding for Function 050 (National Defense). This resolution calls, however, for a reallocation of resources to address the most severe threats facing the nation, to emphasize readiness, to guarantee first-rate health care for members of our armed forces, and to improve the quality of life of our troops and their families. The resolution also calls for greater accountability at the Department of Defense. The resolution includes assumptions on specific defense policy in Title V, Section 502.

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (commonly referred to as the 9/11 Commission) identified terrorists with weapons of mass destruction as one of the nation's gravest threats. It recommended that Congress supply more resources to secure nuclear weapons and the fissile materials used in making these weapons. It is the policy of this budget resolution that non-proliferation programs, such as the Cooperative Threat Reduction program, be given greater priority and higher funding.

As a result of our overseas deployments, military readiness has suffered, especially the readiness of our National Guard and Reserve. The Commission on National Guard and Reserve concluded in its final report, issued on January 31, 2008, that there are substantial shortcomings in the nation's ability to respond during a national crisis. In view of this, the resolution calls for greater attention to mitigating readiness shortfalls to ensure our military is ready when called upon.

The country owes a great debt of gratitude to those who have sacrificed and to those who are currently sacrificing by serving in the Armed Forces. To honor their service, the country should not only support the troops when they are called to duty, but it should also improve the quality of life of the troops and their families, and ensure that the resources are available when they are discharged from service to provide them the excellent health care they deserve and the assistance they need to make the transition to civilian life. For that reason, this resolution opposes Tricare fee increases proposed by the President and calls for a substantial increase in funding for the veterans' health care system. The budget resolution provides funding to continue addressing problems such as those identified at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The resolution also calls for enhanced pay and benefits to improve the quality of life of the troops and their families, including emphasis on providing adequate funding for programs like the Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program, which provides support and assistance to troops and their families while they are deployed and when they return from deployments to readjust to civilian life.

The President's 2009 budget is noncompliant with section 1008, Public Law 109-364, the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007, by excluding a full request for overseas military operations. The resolution reaffirms section 1008. It also calls on the Administration to end the practice of including non-war requirements in funding requests for overseas military operations as a way to avoid making tradeoffs in the defense budget. The Congressional Budget Office reported in September 2007 that 40 percent of supplemental funds requested for Army "reset" (fixing and replacing equipment) was instead used for upgrading the capability of weapons systems and procuring new equipment to eliminate shortfalls, and in some cases, shortfalls that were long-standing.

It is the policy of the resolution that missile defense acquisition be funded at lower, but still adequate levels and development of space-based interceptors as part of the missile defense program should be de-emphasized. The resolution also points out the need to restrain excessive cost and schedule growth in defense research, development, and procurement programs. DoD has allowed the cost of its major acquisition programs to grow at an unsustainable rate. The Department's major acquisition programs grew by more than $392 billion above their initial projections from 2002 to 2007.

The budget resolution recognizes the need for DoD to root out wasteful spending with far more diligence. Eighteen years after passage of the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990, DoD still cannot pass a standard audit. The Department cannot adequately track what it owns or what it spends in its annual budgets. DoD has awarded contracts for its foreign deployments that have been grossly more wasteful than domestic contracts, especially in Iraq. Furthermore, DoD continues to fund weapons systems that were developed years ago to counter Cold War-era threats, which may not be as effective in protecting the nation from today's threats.

Over the last seven years, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has performed numerous audits of DoD's financial management, contracting, and business practices. GAO made 2,864 recommendations, of which 1,260 have yet to be implemented. The resolution assumes that enhancing accounting practices at DoD and implementing many GAO recommendations would yield substantial savings that could be applied to other security needs, including those mentioned above.

The resolution also encourages the committees with jurisdiction over defense to conduct more oversight with the objective of ferreting out wasteful practices, fraud, and abuse. It encourages the committees to require DoD to report to Congress on its progress in implementing GAO audit recommendations and to report on the applicability of cold war-era weapons to 21st century challenges. The resolution also directs GAO to report by the end of the 110th Congress on DoD's progress in implementing its audit recommendations.

The budget resolution also recognizes the need for the DoD to do a better job of reconciling its plans with its budget, including the Navy's shipbuilding plan. Unrealistic expectations of technology development and ship designs have led to high unit costs and a plan that is not viable in terms of providing the Navy with an adequate ship force, or the shipbuilding industrial base with a sustainable level of work. The resolution therefore encourages more congressional oversight to ensure the Administration puts more emphasis on developing a viable shipbuilding plan to maintain a naval ship force and a shipbuilding industrial base that meets the challenges of the 21st century.

In addition to emphasizing nuclear nonproliferation programs at the Department of Energy, the Committee recognizes the importance of the Department's Environmental Management program and that nuclear clean-up activities are a high priority.

For mandatory programs, the budget resolution matches the President's request.

 

FUNCTION 150: INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

 

 

FUNCTION SUMMARY

 

 

Function 150 covers funding for U.S. international activities, including: operating and securing U.S. embassies and consulates throughout the world; providing military assistance to allies; aiding developing nations; dispensing economic assistance to fledgling democracies; promoting U.S. exports abroad; making U.S. payments to international organizations; and contributing to international peacekeeping efforts. This funding constitutes about one percent of the federal budget. The major agencies in this function include the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development.

The function's negative mandatory budget authority and outlay levels reflect receipts of the foreign military sales trust fund, the repayment of loans and credits by foreign nations, and the liquidation of economic assistance loans, foreign military financing loans, Export-Import Bank loans, and housing and other credit guaranty programs.

The resolution's discretionary budget authority for 2009 is $4.0 billion (11.6 percent) above the 2008 level excluding emergencies and $3.3 billion (9.6 percent) more than the amount needed to maintain purchasing power at the 2008 level. The resolution matches the President's Function 150 request for HIV/AIDS relief. The resolution also provides funding for the Department of State to hire a significant number of new staff to strengthen the United States' diplomacy and national security.

Consistent with the President's budget, the resolution provides $2.6 billion for Foreign Military Financing (FMF) for Israel. The United States signed a new agreement with Israel in 2007 to provide $30 billion in FMF over ten years.

The resolution provides additional funding above the President's requested level for 2009 for the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program. This additional funding will be used to maintain and expand the number of children, especially girls, who benefit from this program as food and transportation costs rise.

The Committee notes the importance of robust funding for child survival and health programs, development assistance, and the United States' contributions to international organizations and peacekeeping.

The Committee notes the large amount of funding for the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) that remains unobligated or unspent. MCC has received about $7.5 billion in total appropriations from fiscal years 2004 through 2008.

The Committee recognizes the humanitarian problem of millions of Iraqis who are refugees in neighboring countries or are internally displaced in Iraq.

The Committee notes the strong support for H.R. 1595, the Guam World War II Loyalty Recognition Act, which the House approved on May 8, 2007. The bill authorizes compensation to the Guamanian victims of the Imperial Japanese military occupation during World War II.

Funding in Function 250 exceeds the funding levels in the President's budget and the current services level for all five years in the budget window. Additional increases for scientific research and education are included in Function 270 (Energy), Function 300 (Environment and Natural Resources), Function 350 (Agriculture), Function 370 (Commerce and Housing Credit), Function 400 (Transportation), Function 500 (Education, Training, Employment, and Social Services), and Function 550 (Health), all of which receive more funding than the President requested. These increases will support the goals of the House Leadership's Innovation Agenda and the America COMPETES Act: to put NSF funding on a path toward doubling, to train more qualified science and math teachers, and to invest in basic research on energy technologies.

 

FUNCTION 270: ENERGY

 

 

FUNCTION SUMMARY

 

 

Function 270 covers energy-related programs including research and development, environmental clean-up, and rural utility loans. Most of these programs are within the Department of Energy (DOE). This function covers about 20 percent of appropriated funding for DOE but does not include DOE's national security activities, which are in Function 050 (National Defense), or its basic research and science activities, which are in Function 250 (General Science, Space and Technology). This function also includes the Agriculture Department's Rural Utilities Service, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

The resolution provides $1.1 billion in appropriated funding above the 2008 level and $1.2 billion above the President's budget for 2009, funding that could be used for energy efficiency and renewable energy programs. The resolution maintains the weatherization assistance program, which the President's budget unwisely terminates.

The resolution also invests in new initiatives for renewable energy and energy efficiency, emerging energy and vehicle technologies, carbon capture and sequestration, and worker training for "green collar jobs."

 

FUNCTION 300: NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT

 

 

FUNCTION SUMMARY

 

 

Function 300 includes programs concerned with environmental protection and enhancement; recreation and wildlife areas; and the development and management of the nation's land, water, and mineral resources.

The resolution rejects the President's deep and misguided cuts to priority programs, such as the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the Fish and Wildlife Service's wildlife refuge system, the EPA's Clean Water State Revolving Fund and other grants to States and Tribes to address water and air quality, and other EPA programs. It also includes funding to address high-priority brownfield redevelopment concerns. In addition, the resolution accommodates the President's emergency Army Corps spending for efforts related to Hurricane Katrina rebuilding. Additionally, the resolution recognizes that in recent years, fire suppression costs have overwhelmed the Forest Service's budget, and that Congress should work to identify solutions to this problem and to address the impact of increasing fire suppression costs.

The resolution includes deficit-neutral reserve funds for Secure Rural Schools and Payments in Lieu of Taxes, San Joaquin River Restoration and Navajo Nation Water Rights Settlements, and the establishment of the National Parks Centennial Fund. Additional funding addressing environmental quality is accommodated in the resolution's deficit-neutral renewable energy and energy efficiency reserve fund.

This budget resolution recognizes the importance of investing in infrastructure systems on which our nation depends. Our society depends on transportation systems to integrate the economies of our communities. However, those systems are stressed from growing congestion and a backlog of repair needs. It is imperative that, in the last year of the current surface transportation authorization, the budget place these systems in a position to address the challenges of the 21st century. To that end, the resolution fully funds the highway, transit, and highway safety programs at the levels originally authorized in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). Specifically, considering the country's infrastructure challenges, this resolution does not accept the President's estimate of revenue aligned budget authority (RABA), or the further cuts in highway and transit funding included in the President's 2009 budget. Rather, the resolution continues to invest in infrastructure, laying the groundwork for a reauthorization of these programs in FY 2010.

This resolution increases funding for Amtrak and provides additional funding for grants to airports, in anticipation of a new aviation authorization.

 

FUNCTION 450: COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The 2009 budget resolution specifically rejects the President's cuts to education funding, including his plan to eliminate many education programs, including all vocational education programs. The resolution also rejects the President's steep cuts to job training and social services -- programs programs needed now more than ever when the economy is slowing and the cost of living is rising.

In contrast to the President's funding cuts, the budget resolution makes a down payment towards addressing long-standing needs in education, training, employment, and social services. To that end, the resolution provides an appropriated program level for Function 500 that is $7.1 billion above the 2009 level in the President's budget, including 2009 funding and advance 2010 funding.

The resolution's increased funding could be used to support vital assistance to help children learn and succeed. Increased funding could support key programs such as Head Start, Impact Aid, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. It also could support the No Child Left Behind Act programs to ensure that children can read and achieve at grade level, including programs such as Title I, school improvement programs, teacher quality improvement, and education technology state grants. Finally, the resolution's funding increase for education can help make college more affordable and accessible by raising the maximum Pell grant, maintaining Supplemental Opportunity Educational Grants and Perkins Loans, and broadening access to Historically Black Colleges and Universities as well as Hispanic-serving institutions and minority-serving institutions, which continue to make important contributions towards increasing the percentage of minority students gaining a college degree.

Increased funding could be used to enhance funding for the Workforce Investment Act programs, which provide important job training and assistance. It could also support training for green collar jobs in renewable energy and energy efficiency fields. Other aspects of the Democratic leadership's innovation agenda could also be supported, including math and science education, development of basic and applied research, as well as demonstrations of effective approaches to innovative learning such as those in H.R. 3631, the Revolutionizing Education Through Digital Investment Act of 2007.

The resolution rejects the President's proposed cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and provides a funding level that could be used to support an increase. The Committee continues to support two-year advance funding for the Corporation.

The resolution also contains a reserve fund to accommodate legislation that makes college more affordable, consistent with the House pay-as-you-go rule.

 

FUNCTION 550: HEALTH

 

 

FUNCTION SUMMARY

 

 

Function 550 includes most direct health care services programs. Other health programs in this function fund anti-bioterrorism activities, national biomedical research, protecting the health of the general population and workers in their places of employment, providing health services for under-served populations, and promoting training for the health care workforce. Some of the agencies funded in this function include the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Health Resources and Services Administration, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The major mandatory programs in this function are Medicaid, the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), federal and retirees' health benefits, and health care for Medicare-eligible military retirees.

The budget resolution rejects the Administration's harmful cuts to Medicaid.

The discretionary resources for Function 550 for 2009 represent an increase over both the 2008 level and the President's 2009 request, with a particular focus on NIH, CDC, FDA, and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration. The resolution increases resources for public health, which includes programs focused on addressing health promotion and disease prevention. Preventative health care measures and disease management have the potential to lead to more efficient use of health care spending, and reduced illness, as well as an improvement in the health of the public. The resolution also includes increased funding for food safety, access to quality health care for under-served populations, and other important programs.

Programs in Function 550 are also addressed in the resolution's deficit-neutral reserve funds for SCHIP and for Medicaid.

 

FUNCTION 570: MEDICARE

 

 

FUNCTION SUMMARY

 

 

Function 570 (Medicare) includes only the Medicare program, which provides health insurance to senior citizens and persons with disabilities. Congress provides an annual appropriation for the costs of administering and monitoring the Medicare program. Nearly 99 percent of spending in this function occurs on the mandatory side of the budget, and almost all of the mandatory spending consists of payments for Medicare benefits.

The budget resolution rejects the Administration's harmful cuts to Medicare. The resolution assumes the extension of Medicare premium assistance for qualified individuals with incomes between 120 and 135 percent of the federal poverty level and limited financial resources. The resolution assumes that savings from Medicare program efficiency improvements will offset the costs of extending the premium assistance program as well other initiatives to improve the Medicare program for beneficiaries.

The resolution assumes targeted assistance to hospitals with 100 beds or more that have faced a reduction in Medicare disproportionate share hospital payments due to assignment to a Micropolitan area.

The resolution provides a discretionary cap adjustment of $198 million for additional activities aimed at detecting and preventing Medicare fraud. The Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control program -- a joint effort of the Department of Health and Human Services, the HHS Office of Inspector General, and the Department of Justice -- generated roughly $4 in program savings for every dollar spent in 2004 and 2005.

The resolution also contains a reserve fund to accommodate legislation for Medicare program improvements.

 

FUNCTION 600: INCOME SECURITY

 

 

FUNCTION SUMMARY

 

 

Function 600 consists of a range of income security programs that provide cash or near-cash assistance (e.g., housing, nutrition, and energy assistance) to low-income persons, and benefits to certain retirees, persons with disabilities, and the unemployed. Housing assistance programs account for the largest share of discretionary funding in this function. Major federal entitlement programs in this function include unemployment insurance, trade adjustment assistance income support, food stamps, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, foster care, and Supplemental Security Income. Federal and other retirement and disability programs comprise approximately one third of the funds in this function.

The discretionary resources for Function 600 represent an increase over both the 2008 level and the President's request. The funding will support efforts to reduce the unacceptable number of Americans who live in poverty and to provide assistance to those in need. The budget resolution includes additional funding to address the current shortfall in the project-based rental assistance program, prevent a shortfall in the tenant-based rental assistance program which would occur under the President's budget, and improve supportive housing for the elderly, as in H.R. 2930 as passed by the House. The resolution also specifically rejects the President's cut to the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

Economic uncertainty and rising costs are increasing the need for food assistance for children and adults. The budget resolution rejects the President's proposals to terminate food stamps for 390,000 working families and eliminate the Commodity Supplemental Food Program and notes that legislation that passed the House with bipartisan support was an appropriate first step toward ensuring that nutrition assistance keeps up with inflation and rising food prices.

Mandatory programs in Function 600 are also addressed in the resolution's deficit-neutral reserve funds for Trade Adjustment Assistance and Unemployment Insurance modernization, and child support enforcement.

 

FUNCTION 650: SOCIAL SECURITY

 

 

FUNCTION SUMMARY

 

 

Function 650 consists of the two payroll tax-financed programs that are collectively known as Social Security: Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance (OASDI). This function includes Social Security benefit payments and funding to the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) to administer the program and ensure program integrity. Under provisions of the Congressional Budget Act and the Budget Enforcement Act, Social Security trust funds are off-budget and do not appear in the budget resolution totals. However, a small portion of spending in Function 650 -- the general fund transfer of income taxes on Social Security benefits -- is considered on-budget and appears in the budget resolution totals. The table and discussion below contain information pertaining to both the on-budget and off-budget components.

The resolution rejects the President's private account proposal for Social Security.

The administrative budget for the SSA includes resources in Function 570 (Medicare) and Function 600 (Income Security) as well as Function 650. The resolution assumes a $10.4 billion discretionary funding level for the administrative expenses of SSA and the OIG. The increased resources will enable SSA to address the significant number of individuals waiting for disability and hearing decisions and thereby reduce its unacceptable backlog in case reviews.

The budget also accommodates an additional $240 million above the funding level through a discretionary cap adjustment for program integrity initiatives. The cap adjustment allows the agency to conduct an increasing number of Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs) and Supplemental Security Income redeterminations.

 

FUNCTION 700: VETERANS BENEFITS AND SERVICES

 

 

FUNCTION SUMMARY

 

 

Function 700 covers the programs of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), including veterans' medical care, compensation and pensions, education and rehabilitation benefits, and housing programs. It also includes the Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service, the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, and the American Battle Monuments Commission. More than 99 percent of appropriated veterans' funding goes to VA, and more than 85 percent of this funding is for VA medical care and hospital services.

For 2009, the resolution provides $4.9 billion of discretionary budget authority over the 2008 level and $3.2 billion above the President's 2009 budget. The resolution reflects the very high priority that Congress places on adequately funding veterans' medical care. The resolution also rejects the health care enrollment fees and drug co-payment increases proposed by the President's budget.

The resolution provides full funding to support excellent health care for veterans. The resolution provides funding to continue addressing problems such as those identified at Walter Reed Army Medical Center to improve military and veterans' health care facilities and services.

The resolution provides funding in Function 700 above the President's requested level for 2009 to address important priorities including veterans' mental health, post-traumatic stress disorder, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). There have been many TBIs in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Committee notes that there is legislation to address the prevalence of epilepsy among veterans, especially those with TBI. Research conducted by VA and the Department of Defense found that about half of Vietnam veterans who suffered penetrating head injuries developed epilepsy. The resolution also has additional funding for disability compensation claims processing so that VA can continue to address the inventory of pending claims.

The Committee notes that many military service families are experiencing financial difficulties due to overseas military deployments and that Congress should consider ways to address these difficulties.

 

FUNCTION 750: ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE

 

 

FUNCTION SUMMARY

 

 

The Administration of Justice function consists of federal law enforcement programs, litigation and judicial activities, correctional operations, and state and local justice assistance. Agencies within this function include: the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the Drug Enforcement Administration; Border and Transportation Security; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the United States Attorneys; legal divisions within the Department of Justice; the Legal Services Corporation; the federal Judiciary; and the Federal Bureau of Prisons. This function includes several components of the Department of Homeland Security.

For Function 750, the budget resolution rejects the President's repeated cut of local law enforcement programs. Instead, the function total includes enough resources to increase homeland security programs and provide for law enforcement programs, such as the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) -- and recognizes the importance of this critical reimbursement program.

In addition to rejecting the repeated cuts to SCAAP in the President's budget, the resolution also rejects the President's cuts to Community Oriented Policing Services and Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants -- both of which are important priorities for keeping our communities safe. The resolution values the funding Byrne-JAG provides to local law enforcement at a time when many communities are combating problems including a methamphetamine epidemic and other crime.

In addition, the resolution protects both our youth and victims of crime by restoring cuts to both juvenile justice and programs to prevent violence against women and by limiting amounts diverted from the Crime Victims Fund. The resolution provides funding above the President's budget level for 2009 for these purposes and to protect the border.

TITLE II -- RECONCILIATION

 

 

Section 201 of the resolution contains reconciliation instructions. Reconciliation is a special congressional procedure used to implement the spending and revenue targets in a budget resolution. The instructions direct a committee to make changes in laws under its jurisdiction that affect revenues or direct spending to achieve a specified budgetary result. The legislation used to implement those instructions is reported as a reconciliation bill.

Section 201 of the resolution contains two separate instructions to the Committee on Ways and Means. Subsection (a) directs the Committee to report a measure by September 12, 2008, that reduces direct spending by $750 million for the period of fiscal years 2008 through 2013. Subsection (b) directs the Committee to report a measure by July 15, 2008, to decrease revenues by $70 billion in fiscal year 2009 and to increase revenues by $70 billion for the period of fiscal years 2010 through 2013. When only one committee receives an instruction the measure is reported directly to the House.

Last year the House adopted a rule relating to reconciliation instructions (Rule XXI, clause 7). The rule requires that any reconciliation instruction must not increase the deficit or reduce the surplus over the PAYGO time periods. These instructions satisfy the requirement established under clause 7 of Rule XXI.

 

TITLE III -- RESERVE FUNDS

 

 

Sec. 301. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for the State Children's Health Insurance Program

The reserve fund accommodates legislation, within the jurisdiction of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, of up to $50 billion in additional outlays to improve children's health through reauthorization of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) as long as the authorizing legislation placed before the House complies with the pay-as-you-go principle. These additional resources will sustain current caseloads, expand coverage, and reduce the number of uninsured children. There are over nine million uninsured children in this nation. Last year, Congress twice passed bipartisan legislation that would have expanded coverage to nearly four million additional children if the President had not twice vetoed the legislation.

Sec. 302. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for veterans and servicemembers

The reserve fund accommodates legislation that enhances medical care for wounded or disabled military personnel or veterans; maintains affordable health care for military retirees and veterans; improves disability benefits or evaluations for wounded or disabled military personnel or veterans, including measures to expedite the claims process; expands eligibility to permit additional disabled military retirees to receive both disability compensation and retired pay; eliminates the offset between Survivor Benefit Plan annuities and veterans' dependency and indemnity compensation; or provides or increases benefits for Filipino veterans of World War II or their survivors and dependents, to the extent that any such legislation complies with the pay-as-you-go principle.

Sec. 303. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for education benefits for servicemembers, veterans, and their families

The reserve fund accommodates legislation that enhances education benefits or assistance for servicemembers, members of the National Guard, reservists, veterans, or their spouses, survivors, or dependents, to the extent that such legislation complies with the pay-as-you-go principle. Among the proposals that the reserve fund could accommodate is H.R. 3882, which would address a provision in law that results in certain members of the National Guard and Reserves receiving less in Montgomery GI bill (MGIB) education benefits than servicemembers who served about the same amount of time on active duty. The current requirement for receiving full MGIB benefits is active-duty service of 24 months.

Sec. 304. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for infrastructure investment

The reserve fund accommodates legislation that provides for increased investment in infrastructure projects, so long as it complies with the pay-as-you-go principle. The fund accommodates new investment in highways, bridges, transit, rail, aviation, ports, waterways, and water treatment facilities, among other types of infrastructure.

Sec. 305. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for renewable energy and energy efficiency

The reserve fund accommodates legislation that provides tax incentives for or otherwise encourages the production of renewable energy or increased energy efficiency; encourages investment in emerging energy or vehicle technologies or carbon capture and sequestration; provides for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions; or facilitates the training of workers for these industries ("green collar jobs"), to the extent that any such legislation complies with the pay-as-you-go principle. For example, one item that the reserve fund could accommodate is extension of the solar energy and fuel cell investment tax credit.

Sec. 306. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for middle-income tax relief and economic equity

The reserve fund for middle-income tax relief supports legislation to reduce tax burdens on middle-income families and taxpayers that complies with the pay-as-you-go principle. This includes legislation such as the extension of the 10 percent individual income tax rate, marriage penalty relief, the child tax credit, the research and experimentation tax credit, the deduction for small business expensing, and the deduction for State and local sales taxes. It also accommodates elimination of estate taxes on all but a minute fraction of estates, and a tax credit for school construction.

Sec. 307. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for reform of the alternative minimum tax

The reserve fund for Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) relief accommodates legislation that reforms the tax code to shield middle-income families from the AMT as long as it adheres to the pay-as-you-go principle. Without reform, the number of taxpayers subject to the AMT will rise from 4.2 million in 2007 to 25.7 million in 2008 and to 28.3 million in 2009, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation.

Sec. 308. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for higher education

The reserve fund accommodates reforms to the student loan programs or changes in law that increase benefits to students, consistent with the pay-as-you-go principle adopted by the House. Both the House and the Senate have passed bills to reauthorize the Higher Education Act, and this reserve fund will provide committees maximum flexibility in finding offsets to make college more affordable and accessible for students.

Sec. 309. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for affordable housing

The reserve fund accommodates legislation that creates an affordable housing fund, offset by savings from reforming the regulation of certain government-sponsored entities, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to the extent that such legislation complies with the pay-as-you-go principle.

Sec. 310. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for Medicare improvements

The reserve fund accommodates additional mandatory spending for Medicare program improvements such as increasing the Medicare reimbursement rate for physicians while holding beneficiaries harmless from associated premium increases, as long as the legislation is consistent with the House pay-as-you-go principle. Under current law, physicians face a 10.6 percent cut in their Medicare payment rate on July 1 of this year, and further cuts every year through 2016. The reserve fund also accommodates other program improvements, such as greater access to preventive benefits; additional assistance for low-income beneficiaries; and better efficiencies within the Part D program, such as prompt payment of prescription drug claims; as long as the legislation is consistent with the pay-as-you-go principle.

Sec. 311. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for health care quality, effectiveness, and efficiency

The reserve fund accommodates legislation that: provides incentives or other support for adoption of modern health information technology; establishes a new federal or public-private initiative for research on the comparative effectiveness of different medical interventions; or that provides parity between health insurance coverage of mental health benefits and benefits for medical and surgical services, including parity in public programs; as long as the legislation is consistent with the House pay-as-you-go principle.

Sec. 312. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for Medicaid and other programs

The reserve fund accommodates legislation that prevents or delays the implementation or administration of regulations or administrative actions affecting Medicaid, SCHIP, or other programs, as well as extension of the Transitional Medical Assistance (TMA) or Qualified Individuals (QI) programs, as long as the legislation complies with the pay-as-you-go principle. TMA provides temporary Medicaid assistance for families transitioning to the workforce and QI provides premium assistance for lower-income Medicare beneficiaries.

Sec. 313. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for trade adjustment assistance and unemployment insurance modernization

The reserve fund accommodates legislation to reauthorize and expand the trade adjustment assistance program (TAA) and modernize the unemployment insurance (UI) system, consistent with the pay-as-you go rule adopted by the House. Last year, the House passed legislation that included much-needed reforms to substantially increase the number of workers able to receive needed income support and job training, and it is awaiting Senate action.

Sec. 314. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for county payments legislation

The reserve fund accommodates any legislation that reauthorizes the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act (Public Law 106-393) or makes changes to the Payments in Lieu of Taxes Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-565), to the extent that such legislation complies with the pay-as-you-go principle. Public Law 106-393 provides economic assistance for roads and schools in rural communities affected by the loss of receipts from sales on federal lands in their communities. Federal payments under Public Law 94-565 to local governments are designed to offset lost property tax revenue from federal lands within the localities. Both forms of assistance are intended to compensate local governments for the tax-exempt status of the national forests and other federal lands.

Sec. 315. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for San Joaquin River restoration and Navajo Nation water rights settlements

The reserve fund accommodates legislation that would fulfill the purposes of the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act, implement a Navajo Nation water rights settlement as authorized by the Northwestern New Mexico Rural Water Projects Act, or both, to the extent that the legislation complies with the pay-as-you-go principle.

Sec. 316. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for the National Park Centennial Fund

The reserve fund accommodates any legislation that provides for the establishment of the National Parks Centennial Fund, so long as it complies with the pay-as-you-go principle. The Centennial Fund would provide additional funding for specific Interior-approved, community-supported projects within the National Park system to improve parks and provide better visitor experiences.

Sec. 317. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for child support enforcement

The reserve fund accommodates legislation to increase the number of children who receive the full child support that is owed to them by enhancing federal collection efforts or supporting state initiatives to pass through 100 percent of collected child support to families, as long as the legislation complies with the pay-as-you-go principle. For every dollar the federal government spends on child support enforcement, $6.50 is collected on behalf of working families. Last year, the child support enforcement system collected $22 billion in private support for 17 million children.

 

TITLE IV -- BUDGET ENFORCEMENT

 

 

Sec. 401. Program Integrity Initiatives

Section 401 provides for specific allocation adjustments for the Committee on Appropriations when the Committee reports legislation that includes increased appropriations for the following four program integrity initiatives: (1) continuing disability reviews and Supplemental Security Income redeterminations for the Social Security Administration; (2) improved compliance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code; (3) the healthcare fraud and abuse control program at the Department of Health and Human Services; and (4) unemployment insurance in-person reemployment and eligibility assessments and improper payment reviews.

The adjustments under this section are intended to do no more than provide additional administrative funding for current program integrity activities to eliminate errors or fraud in the operation of a number of federal programs and to promote compliance with federal tax laws. For example, the adjustment for unemployment compensation programs is provided to increase limited administrative funding for current program integrity activities, and not to finance other proposals that would adversely affect workers who have received unemployment benefits. The section outlines procedures for these allocation adjustments.

Sec. 402. Oversight of Government Performance

Section 402 directs Committees of the House of Representatives to review programs within their jurisdiction for waste, fraud, and abuse and to include recommendations for improved governmental performance in views and estimates submitted to the Budget Committee pursuant to section 301(d) of the Congressional Budget Act.

Sec. 403. Advance Appropriations

Section 403 limits the amount and type of advance appropriations for fiscal years 2010 and 2011.

Advances for 2011 are listed separately. The list is included in this report so that the Appropriations Committee can prepare appropriations bills for fiscal year 2009 accordingly. The list will also be included in the joint explanatory statement of managers to accompany the conference report on this resolution. The section defines advance appropriations as any new discretionary budget authority provided in a bill or joint resolution making general or continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2009 that first becomes available for any fiscal year after 2009.

Sec. 404. Overseas Deployments and Emergency Needs

Section 404 establishes a procedure whereby provisions or measures reported by the Committee on Appropriations will be exempt from the restrictions under titles III and IV of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. The exemption will apply if: (1) the Committee determines and designates that amounts appropriated are necessary for overseas deployments and related activities; or, (2) the Committee provides discretionary appropriations and designates those amounts as necessary to meet emergency needs.

Sec. 405. Budgetary Treatment of Certain Discretionary Administrative Expenses

Section 405 provides that administrative expenses of the Social Security Administration and of the Postal Service shall be part of the annual appropriations process by including those expenses in the allocation to the Committee on Appropriations pursuant to section 302 of the Congressional Budget Act.

Sec. 406. Application and Effect of Changes in Allocations and Aggregates

Section 406 details the allocation and aggregate adjustment procedures that are required to accommodate legislation for the reserve funds and program integrity initiatives in this resolution. This section provides that the adjustments shall apply while the legislation is under consideration and take effect upon enactment of the legislation. In addition, the section requires the adjustments to be printed in the Congressional Record.

The section also notes that, for purposes of enforcement, aggregate and allocation levels resulting from adjustments made pursuant to this resolution will have the same effect as if adopted in the original levels of Title I of this budget resolution. This section also provides that the Committee on the Budget shall determine the budgetary levels and estimates which are required to enforce points of order under the Congressional Budget Act.

Sec. 407. Adjustments to Reflect Changes in Concepts and Definitions

Section 407 requires the chairman of the Committee on the Budget to adjust levels and allocations in this budget resolution upon enactment of legislation that changes concepts or definitions.

Sec. 408. Exercise of Rulemaking Powers

Section 408 provides that, once adopted, the provisions of the budget resolution are incorporated into the rules of the House of Representatives and shall supersede inconsistent rules. The section recognizes the constitutional right of the House of Representatives to change those rules at any time.

ALLOCATIONS TO COMMITTEES

 

 

As required by Section 302(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the discretionary levels established in the budget resolution are allocated to the Appropriations Committee and the mandatory spending levels are allocated to each of the committees with mandatory spending authority.

In this report, the Appropriations Committee receives an allocation for 2009 and a revised allocation for 2008. The authorizing committees receive allocations for 2009 and the five-year period 2009 through 2013 as well as a revised allocation for 2008. The authorizing committee allocation is divided into current law amounts, reauthorization, and resolution changes. Reauthorization refers to amounts for legislation due for reauthorization that are part of the CBO baseline levels. "Resolution changes" refers to the budgetary impact of legislation enacted after the adoption of this resolution, anticipated to reflect a change from baseline levels.

VOTES OF THE COMMITTEE

 

 

House rule XIII, clause 3(b), requires that each committee report that accompanies any bill or resolution of a public nature include the total number of votes cast for and against on each roll call vote, on a motion to report, and any amendments offered to the measure or matter, along with the names of those voting for and against.

Described and listed below are the roll call votes from the Committee on the Budget on the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2009.

On March 5, 2008, the Committee met in open session. A quorum was present.

After calling the Committee to order, Chairman Spratt reminded all members that pursuant to unanimous consent agreed to at the Committee's organizational meeting held January 18, 2007, and consistent with House rule XVI, clause 4, he was authorized to declare a recess at any time.

Chairman Spratt asked unanimous consent that the reading of the budget aggregates, function levels, and other appropriate matters be dispensed with; that the aggregates, function levels, and other matter be opened to amendment; that the reading of each amendment be by title, and that the reading of each amendment be dispensed with. There were no objections.

The Committee adopted and ordered reported the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2009. The following votes were taken by the Committee:

1. An amendment was offered by Representatives Campbell, Hensarling, and Barrett to establish a Joint Select Committee on earmark reform and create a point of order against considering any bills, joint resolutions, or conference reports containing an earmark or limited tax or tariff benefit for the remainder of this year.

The amendment was not agreed to by a roll call vote of 16 ayes to 21 nays.

34. Ms. DeLauro, pursuant to House rule XXII, clause 1 moved that the Chairman be authorized to offer such motions in the House of Representatives as may be necessary to go to conference; and that the staff be authorized to make technical and conforming corrections in the concurrent resolution and committee amendments, and to calculate the remaining elements required on the resolution, prior to the filing of the concurrent resolution. The motions were agreed to by voice votes.

Mr. Ryan stated the intention of the minority to file minority views for inclusion in the report on the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2009.

Chairman Spratt adjourned the Committee.

 

HOUSE RULE XXVII

 

 

The adoption of a conference agreement by the two houses on a concurrent resolution on the budget would result in the engrossment of a House Joint Resolution changing the statutory limit on the public debt pursuant to House Rule XXVII, clause 3. The rule requires a joint resolution in the following form:

Resolved, by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled, that subsection (b) of section 3101 of title 31, United States Code, is amended by striking out the dollar limitation contained in such subsection and inserting in lieu thereof $10,200,000,000,000.

 

OTHER MATTERS TO BE INCLUDED UNDER THE RULES OF THE HOUSE

 

 

COMMITTEE OVERSIGHT FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 

 

Clause 3(c)(1) of Rule XIII requires that each committee report include oversight findings and recommendations pursuant to Clause 2(b)(1) of Rule X. The Committee on the Budget has no such findings at this time.

 

NEW BUDGET AUTHORITY, ENTITLEMENT AUTHORITY, AND TAX EXPENDITURES

 

 

Clause 3(c)(2) of Rule XIII provides that committee reports shall include the statement required by Section 308(a)(1) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. As a concurrent resolution that sets forth a blueprint for the Congressional budget, the budget resolution does not provide new budget authority or new entitlement authority or change revenues. Therefore, this report does not contain such a statement.

 

GENERAL PERFORMANCE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

 

 

Clause 3(c)(4) of Rule XIII requires that each committee report include a statement of general performance goals and objectives, including outcome-related goals and objectives, for which the measure authorizes funding. Because the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget does not authorize funding, the committee does not have any such goals and objectives to report.

 

MINORITY VIEWS

 

 

THE STATUS QUO -- AND THEN SOME

 

 

Taxes, Spending, and a Lack of Reform

 

 

INTRODUCTION

 

 

There are two visions of America.

In one, American society starts with the individual, the family, the entrepreneur, and grows outward from their choices and actions exercised responsibly in a free and open economy. Government's primary roles are protecting the national security, upholding the rules of law, and providing a reliable safety net for those who need it, when they need it.

In the other view, Americans are increasingly dependent on, and beholden to, the government. As government expands, it absorbs growing amounts of economic resources, gradually smothering the initiative of the people it is supposed to serve. On this path -- the inevitable course of today's fiscal policies extended forward -- the Federal Government by mid-century will double in size, consuming as much as 40 percent of America's economic output, and mostly shuffling resources from one generation to another. This is the view of the resolution reported to the House by the Committee on the Budget, on a party-line vote.

The Democratic budget contains the usual mix of higher taxes and higher spending -- only more so. The Majority's "new" fiscal blueprint, as reported by the Budget Committee, calls for an even larger tax increase than last year, totaling $683 billion over 5 years. But the budget still manages to soak up the additional revenue with an array of proposals to expand government, setting in motion a vicious cycle of ever-higher spending chased by ever-higher taxes. Further, the Democrats fail to fully budget for Iraq and Afghanistan -- after criticizing the President's budget for the same thing.

The budget also fails to rescue Social Security and Medicare from the financial crisis that is now unfolding, despite repeated warnings that these and other entitlement programs are the largest threat to the budget and the U.S. economy.

 

HIGHER TAXES

 

 

  • Imposes the Largest Tax Increase in History. Though Democrats claim otherwise, the budget raises taxes by $683 billion over the next 5 years. This occurs for two reasons.

    • ASSUMED IN THE REVENUE FIGURES. First, the numbers in the budget include, depend on, and require $683 billion in revenue increases resulting from automatic tax hikes scheduled to occur after 31 December 2010. These include increases in marginal tax rates; elimination of the 10-percent bracket for lower-income taxpayers; higher taxes on marriage, children, small businesses, and estates; and higher tax rates on investments.

-- REQUIRED BY PAYGO. Second, the budget operates under the Democrats' pay-as-you-go [PAYGO] rule, which requires capturing the additional revenue from these tax increases -- as if simply retaining current policies after 2010 (including provisions enacted in 2001 and 2003) constitutes a new tax "cut."

Either way, the House Majority's budget raises taxes by nearly three times the largest enacted tax hike to date: the $240.6 billion increase in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993.

  • Spreads Tax Hikes Widely. These assumed tax increases would hit middle-income families, low-income earners, families with children, small businesses, and a range of others. The budget contains a "reserve fund" and policy language claiming to protect "middle-income" tax benefits; but even these provisions still require raising the additional revenue, as embraced by the budget's revenue stream.

 

Here are some examples of how much the Democratic budget will increase burdens on American taxpayers:
    • Some 116 million taxpayers will see an average tax increase of more than $1,800 per year.

    • More than 6 million low-income individuals and couples who currently pay no taxes will no longer be exempt.

    • A family of four earning $50,000 will see their taxes increase by $2,100.

    • Approximately 48 million married couples will face an average tax increase of $3,000 per year.

    • Low-income families with one or two children will no longer be eligible for the refundable child tax credit in 2011.

    • Roughly 12 million single women with children will see their taxes increase by $1,100 per year.

    • About 18 million seniors will be subjected to tax increases of more than $2,100 per year.

    • Tax bills for an estimated 27 million small-business owners will increase by more than $4,000 each.

  • Sets the Table for Billions in Further Tax and Spending Hikes. The budget contains 16 "reserve funds" that call for an unspecified total in spending increases, if offset with commensurate savings or -- as is far more likely -- higher taxes. The only identified spending amount is a proposed $50 billion increase for the State Children's Health Insurance Program [SCHIP]. Oddly, none of the reserve funds accommodates the health reform proposals of the two Democratic presidential candidates.

  • Offers No Real AMT Fix. The Democrats recycle last year's distorted logic about the alternative minimum tax [AMT]. The budget employs a reconciliation instruction that "patches" the AMT for 1 year (tax year 2008) -- preventing the tax from ensnaring roughly 25 million new taxpayers for whom it was never intended. It then treats this as a new tax "cut," and raises taxes by $70 billion in the subsequent 4 years to "pay for" it.

  • Ignores Economic Consequences. With U.S. consumers already anxious over mortgage payments, food and gasoline prices, and spiraling health care expenses, the threatened tax increases only add to their economic worries. These tax hikes likely would reverse the economic gains achieved under the 2001 and 2003 tax laws, which include: 8.3 million new jobs, an average of more than 150,000 per month; a 5.5-percent year-over-year increase in business investment; and real growth in gross domestic product averaging more than 3.0 percent per year (even with the weak fourth quarter in 2007).

  • Reverses "Stimulus". Less than a month after Congress and the President enacted tax relief measures to "stimulate" the economy, the Democratic budget takes back these benefits several times over. The proposed tax increase is more than four times the size of the tax-reducing "stimulus" package.

  • Ignores Fiscal Consequences. Because these tax increases likely would slow economic growth, they will produce less revenue than expected. But the Democrats' spending proposals will not shrink. This combination will worsen deficits, increase debt, and make it more difficult to balance the budget.

  • Employs Faulty Class Warfare Rhetoric. When Democrats insist they intend only to "roll back" tax breaks for the "rich," they ignore the fact that upper income earners already bear the largest part of the tax burden; and their share of taxes actually increased after the 2001 and 2003 laws. For example, those in the top 10 percent of income earners already were paying more than two-thirds of the tax burden; today they are paying more than 70 percent.

HUGE SPENDING INCREASES

 

 

  • Proposes a Record-Setting 1-Year Appropriations Increase. The budget promotes an astonishing 8.8-percent ($82 billion) year-to-year increase in total nonemergency discretionary spending, which rises from the $933-billion enacted level in fiscal year 2008 to $1.105 trillion in 2009. The figure also reflects a $23.4-billion increase over the President's request in nondefense, nonemergency discretionary spending -- which translates to $280 billion above the President over 5 years (including cap adjustments).

  • Increases "Advance Appropriations". The budget also increases by $2 billion, to $27.588 billion, the amount that can be appropriated in fiscal year 2010 or later. This gimmick builds spending into the base of government that is effectively exempt from budget disciplines.

  • Promises Reckless New Entitlement Spending. Despite warnings by numerous witnesses about the unsustainable rate of entitlement spending, the budget's reserve funds nevertheless provide for higher mandatory spending if coupled with even more tax increases. As noted above, the budget contains 16 reserve funds that create avenues for higher spending if offset with spending reductions or -- as is more likely -- higher taxes.

FAILURE TO RESCUE SOCIAL SECURITY OR MEDICARE

 

 

  • Ignores the Entitlement Warnings. The Budget Committee has been warned repeatedly that Social Security and Medicare cannot be sustained as currently structured, and -- along with other entitlements -- are growing at rates that will cripple the economy and overwhelm the budget. Yet the budget puts off any significant reform for at least 5 years -- causing the problem to worsen. As a result, the unfunded liabilities in Social Security and Medicare will increase by roughly $14 trillion -- from about $38.7 trillion today to about $52.5 trillion by 2013.

  • Throws More Words at the Problem. The resolution's only response to the entitlement challenge is Sense of the House language urging "governmental and nongovernmental experts to develop specific options to reform the health care system." The language contends that "immediate policy action is needed," but says "such action should be bipartisan, bicameral, involve both legislative and executive branch participants, as well as public participation, and be conducted in a manner that ensures full, fair, and timely Congressional consideration."

Unfunded Liability of Social Security and Medicare

 

(Over 75 Years)

 

 

 

 

NO ACCOUNTABILITY

 

 

  • Retains Bias Favoring Higher Spending, Higher Taxes. As noted, the budget raises taxes by $683 billion, by assuming all the 2001 and 2003 tax provisions will expire as scheduled after 31 December 2010. But at the same time it assumes that spending programs whose authorizations expire continue indefinitely.

  • Fails to Strengthen PAYGO. It retains the weak House pay-as-you-go [PAYGO] rule, which allows Democrats to chase higher spending with higher taxes, and to enact spending increases immediately, offset by gimmicks, or by savings that do not occur until later.

  • Offers No Emergency Provision. The budget fails to anticipate emergencies, and provides no criteria for domestic emergency spending -- which is exempt from budget disciplines.

  • Contains No Earmark Reform. The budget does nothing to cure the continuing problem of congressional earmarks -- though the fiscal year 2008 appropriations bills contained 11,737 such provisions, at a total cost of $16.9 billion.

GIMMICKS

 

 

  • Abuses Fast-Track Reconciliation. The budget misuses budget reconciliation -- which is intended to control spending and preclude any 60-vote hurdle in the Senate -- in the following ways:

    • AMT. It jams a $70-billion tax increase to "pay for" a 1-year alternative minimum tax "patch" -- as if this patch were a new tax cut. But in fact, the patch only prevents exposing 25 million additional taxpayers to the AMT. Although the AMT was never intended for these added taxpayers, the budget demands the additional $70 billion in revenue anyway.

    • MEDICARE. The budget provides a nominal $750 million in 5-year savings to leverage unspecified Medicare changes, with no real reform.

  • Rests on Straw Man Reserve Funds. Instead of providing funding for promised initiatives, the budget includes 16 reserve funds that promise extra funding for pet initiatives if offsets are included. The reserve funds have no real effect because budget rules already permit initiatives not assumed in the budget to be financed by offsets.

  • Fails on War Funding. The Democratic Majority still has not provided all the President's requested 2008 funding for Iraq and Afghanistan, and now their budget contains only $70 billion for the troops in fiscal year 2009. When the President submitted his 2009 budget in February, Democrats harshly criticized the administration for including only partial war funding for 2009 -- and now they are doing the same.

CONCLUSION

 

 

In his first inaugural address, President Reagan said: "I do not believe in a fate that will fall on us no matter what we do. I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing."

The Democratic budget accepts the latter. It resigns itself to a philosophy in which bigger government is better government, and the only way to address America's challenges is through a vicious cycle of higher government spending chased by higher taxes. It is the status quo carried forward to its discouraging, and self-defeating, conclusion.

There is another way -- one that promotes the vitality of American society by nurturing the initiative of its individuals, its families, its entrepreneurs; one that restores America's fundamental character and strength; one that sees challenges as opportunities to make America greater still.

The choice now lies before the House -- which should begin by rejecting this budget.

It is the policy of this resolution to --

SEC. 502. POLICY ON DEFENSE PRIORITIES.

It is the policy of this resolution that --

(1) the Administration's budget requests should comply with section 1008, Public Law 109-364, the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007, and the Administration should no longer attempt to fund overseas military operations through emergency supplemental appropriations requests;

(3) implementing the recommendation of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (commonly referred to as the 9/11 Commission) to adequately fund cooperative threat reduction and nuclear nonproliferation programs (securing "loose nukes") is a high priority and should receive far greater emphasis than the President's budget provides;

(4) readiness of our troops, particularly the National Guard and Reserve, is a high priority, and that greater emphasis needs to be placed on mitigating equipment and training shortfalls;

(5) TRICARE fees for military retirees under the age of 65 should not be increased as the President's budget proposes;

(6) military pay and benefits should be enhanced to improve the quality of life of military personnel;

(7) improving military health care services continues to be a high priority and adequate funding to ensure quality health care for returning combat veterans should be provided;

(8) higher priority defense needs could be addressed by funding missile defense at an adequate but lower level, not providing funding for development of space-based missile defense interceptors, and by restraining excessive cost and schedule growth in defense research, development and procurement programs;

(9) the Department of Defense should reassess current defense plans to ensure that weapons developed to counter cold war-era threats are not redundant and are applicable to 21st century threats;

(10) sufficient resources should be provided for the Department of Defense to do an aggressive job of addressing as many as possible of the 1,260 unimplemented recommendations made by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) over the last 7 years to improve practices at the Department of Defense, including investigation of the billions of dollars of obligations, disbursements and overcharges for which the Department of Defense cannot account;

(11) savings from the actions recommended in paragraphs (8) and (10) of this section should be used to fund the priorities identified in paragraphs (3) through (7);

(12) the Department of Defense report to Congress on its assessment of cold war weapons and progress on implementing GAO recommendations as outlined in paragraphs (9) and (10) by a time determined by the appropriate authorizing committees; and

(5) because America's greatest resource for innovation resides within classrooms across the country, the increased funding provided in this resolution will support initiatives within the America COMPETES Act to educate tens of thousands of new scientists, engineers, and mathematicians, and place highly qualified teachers in math and science K-12 classrooms; and

(6) because independent scientific research provides the foundation for innovation and future technologies, this resolution will keep us on the path toward doubling funding for the National Science Foundation, basic research in the physical sciences, and collaborative research partnerships, and toward achieving energy independence through the development of clean and sustainable alternative energy technologies.

(3) the homeland security funding provided in this resolution will help to strengthen the security of our Nation's transportation system, particularly our ports where significant security shortfalls still exist and foreign ports, by expanding efforts to identify and scan all high-risk United States-bound cargo, equip, train and support first responders (including enhancing interoperable communications and emergency management), strengthen border patrol, and increase the preparedness of the public health system.

(3) publicly held debt will rise from 36 percent today to 400 percent of GDP by the decade beginning in 2050 under CBO's alternative policy scenario;

(4) the most significant factor affecting the long-term Federal fiscal landscape is the expectation that total public and private health spending will continue to grow faster than the economy;

(5) the House calls upon governmental and nongovernmental experts to develop specific options to reform the health care system and control costs, that further research and analysis on topics including comparative effectiveness, health information technology, preventative care, and provider incentives is needed, and that of critical importance is the development of a consensus on the appropriate methods for estimating the budgetary impact and health outcome effects of these proposals; and

(6) immediate policy action is needed to address the long-term fiscal challenges facing the United States, including the rising costs of entitlements, in a manner that is fiscally responsible, equitable, and lasting, and that also honors commitments made to beneficiaries, and that such action should be bipartisan, bicameral, involve both legislative and executive branch participants, as well as public participation, and be conducted in a manner that ensures full, fair, and timely Congressional consideration.

It is the sense of the House that --

(1) 35.5 million Americans (12.6 million of them children) are food insecure -- uncertain of having, or unable to acquire, enough food, and that 11.1 million Americans are hungry because of lack of food;

(2) despite the critical contributions of the Department of Agriculture nutrition programs (particularly the food stamp program), which significantly reduced payment error rates while providing help to partially mitigate the effects of rising poverty and unemployment, significant need remains, even among families that receive food stamps;

(3) nearly 25 million people, including more than nine million children and nearly three million seniors, sought emergency food assistance from food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and local charities last year;

(4) legislation that passed the House with bipartisan support was an appropriate first step toward ensuring that nutrition assistance keeps up with inflation and rising food prices; and

(5) Department of Agriculture programs that help us fight hunger should be maintained and that the House should continue to seize opportunities to reach Americans in need and to fight hunger.

SEC. 609. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING AFFORDABLE HEALTH COVERAGE.

It is the sense of the House that --

(1) nearly 47 million Americans, including nine million children, lack health insurance;

(2) people without health insurance are more likely to experience problems getting medical care and to be hospitalized for avoidable health problems;

(3) most Americans receive health coverage through their employers, and a major issue facing all employers is the rising cost of health insurance;

(4) small businesses, which have generated most of the new jobs annually over the last decade, have an especially difficult time affording health coverage, because of higher administrative costs and fewer people over whom to spread the risk of catastrophic costs;

(5) because it is especially costly for small businesses to provide health coverage, their employees make up a large proportion of the Nation's uninsured individuals; and

(6) legislation consistent with the pay-as-you-go principle should be adopted that makes health insurance more affordable and accessible, with attention to the special circumstances affecting employees of small businesses, and that lowers costs and improves the quality of health care by encouraging integration of health information technology tools into the practice of medicine, and by promoting improvements in disease management and disease prevention.

SEC. 610. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING PAY PARITY.

It is the sense of the House that rates of compensation for civilian employees of the United States should be adjusted at the same time, and in the same proportion, as are rates of compensation for members of the uniformed services.

SEC. 611. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING SUBPRIME LENDING AND FORECLOSURES.

It is the sense of the House that --

(1) over the last six months, the Nation has experienced a significant increase in the number of homeowners facing the risk of foreclosure with estimates of as many as 2.8 million subprime and other distressed borrowers facing the loss of their homes over the next five years;

(2) the rise in foreclosures not only has an immediate, devastating impact on homeowners and their families, but it also has ripple effects --

(A) local communities experiencing high levels of foreclosures experience deterioration as a result of the large number of vacant foreclosed and abandoned homes;

(B) rising foreclosure rates can accelerate drops in home prices, affecting all homeowners; and

(C) home mortgage default and foreclosure rates increase risk for lenders, further restricting the availability of credit, which can in turn slow economic growth; and

(3) the rise in foreclosures is not only a crisis for subprime borrowers, but a larger problem for communities as a whole, and considering the multi-layered effects of increasing foreclosures, the House should consider steps to address this complex problem.

SEC. 612. SENSE OF HOUSE REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT.

It is the sense of the House that --

(1) additional legislative action is needed to ensure that States have the necessary resources to collect all child support that is owed to families and to allow them to pass 100 percent of support on to families without financial penalty; and

(2) when 100 percent of child support payments are passed to the child, rather than administrative expenses, program integrity is improved and child support participation increases.
