the conversion of the ,federal share of ,medicaid spending into flexible ,state allotments1 which ,states will be able to tailor to meet their unique needs4 ,such a reform would end the misguided

able to choose from a range of guaranteed coverage options1 with private plans competing alongside the traditional fee-for-service ,medicare program4 ,medicare would provide a premium-support payment either to pay for or offset the premium of the plan chosen by the senior1 depending on the plan's cost4 ,the ,medicare premium-support payment would be adjusted so that the sick would receive higher payments if their conditions worsened2 lower-income seniors would receive additional assistance to help cover out-of-pocket costs2 and wealthier seniors would assume responsibility for a greater share of their premiums4 ,putting seniors in charge of how their health care dollars are spent will force providers to compete against each other on price and quality4 ,this market competition will act as a real check on widespread waste and skyrocketing health care costs4 ,as with previous budgets1 this program will begin in #bjbd and makes no changes to those in or near retirement4 7,b7 ,in keeping

to provide for annual congressional determination of the appropriate level of taxes and spending1 to set important national budget priorities1 and to find ways in which ,members of ,congress could have access to the most accurate1 objective1 and highest quality information to assist them in discharging their duties4 7#c7 ,far from achieving its intended purpose1 however1 the process has instituted a bias toward higher spending and larger government4 ,the behemoth of the ,federal ,government has largely been financed through either borrowing or taking ever greater amounts of the national income through high taxation4 7#d7 ,the process does not treat programs and policies consistently and shows a bias toward higher spending and higher taxes4 7#e7 ,it assumes extension of spending programs 7of more than #ej million per year7 scheduled to expire4 7#f7 ,yet it does not assume the extension of tax policies in the same way4 consequently1 extending existing tax policies that may be scheduled to expire is characterized as a new tax reduction1 requiring offsets to pay for merely keeping tax policy the same even though estimating conventions would not require similar treatment of spending programs4 7#g7 ,the original goals set for the congressional process are admirable in their intent1 but because the essential mechanisms of the process have remained the same1 and reforms enacted over the past #dj years have largely taken the form of layering greater levels of legal complexity without reforming or reassessing the very fundamental nature of the process4 7b7 ,policy statement ,it is the policy of this concurrent resolution on the budget that as the primary branch of ,government1 ,congress must3 7#a7 ,restructure the fundamental procedures of budget decision making4 7#b7 ,reassert ,congress's power of the purse1 and reinforce the balance of powers between ,congress and the ,president1 as the #aigd ,act intended4 7#c7 ,create greater incentives for lawmakers to do budgeting as intended by the ,congressional ,budget ,act of #aigd1 especially adopting a budget resolution every year4 7#d7 ,encourage more effective control over spending1 especially currently uncontrolled direct spending4 7#e7 ,consider innovative fiscal tools such as3 zero based budgeting1 which would require a department or agency to justify its budget as if it were a new expenditure2 and direct spending caps to enhance oversight of automatic pilot spending that increases each year without congressional approval4 7#f7 ,promote efficient and timely budget actions1 so that lawmakers complete their budget actions by the time the new fiscal year begins4 7#g7 ,provide access to the best analysis of economic conditions available and increase awareness of how fiscal policy directly impacts overall economic growth and job creation4 7#h7 ,remove layers of complexity that have complicated the procedures designed in #aigd1 and made budgeting more arcane and opaque4 7#i7 ,remove existing biases that favor higher spending4 7#aj7 ,include procedures by which current tax laws may be extended and treated on a basis that is not different from the extension of entitlement programs4 7c7 ,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 ways3 7#a7 ,permanent extension of tax laws should not be used as a means to increase taxes on other taxpayers4 7#b7 ,for those expiring tax provisions that are proposed to be permanently extended1 ,congress should use a more realistic baseline that does not require them to be offset4 7#c7 ,tax-reform legislation should not include tax increases just to offset the extension of current tax laws4 7d7 ,legislation ,the ,committee on the ,budget intends to draft legislation during the #aadth ,congress that will rewrite the ,congressional ,budget and ,impoundment ,control ,act of #aigd to fulfill the goals of making the congressional budget process more effective in ensuring taxpayers' dollars are spent wisely and efficiently4 #hjc4 ,policy statement on economic growth and job creation 7a7 ,findings ,the ,house finds the following3 7#a7 ,although the ,united ,states economy technically emerged from recession more than #e years ago1 the subsequent recovery has felt more like a malaise than a rebound4 ,real gross domestic product ,,gdp growth over the past #e years has averaged slightly more than #b percent1 well below the #c4b percent historical trend rate of growth in the ,united ,states4 ,although the economy has shown some welcome signs of improvement of late1 the ,nation remains in the midst of the weakest economic recovery of the modern era4 7#b7 ,looking ahead1 ,,cbo expects the economy to grow by an average of just #b4c percent over the next #aj years4 ,that level of economic growth is simply unacceptable and insufficient to expand opportunities and the incomes of millions of middle-income ,americans4 7#c7 ,sluggish economic growth has also contributed to the country's fiscal woes4 ,subpar growth means that revenue levels are lower than they would otherwise be while government spending 7e4g4 welfare and income-support programs7 is higher4 ,clearly1 there is a dire need for policies that will spark higher rates of economic growth and greater1 higher-quality job opportunities4 7#d7 ,although job gains have been trending up of late1 other aspects of the labor market remain weak4 ,the labor force participation rate1 for instance1 is hovering just under #fc percent1 close to the lowest level since #aigh4 ,long-term unemployment also remains a problem4 ,of the roughly #h4g million people who are currently unemployed1 #b4g million 7more than #cj percent7 have been unemployed for more than #f months4 ,long-term unemployment erodes an individual's job skills and detaches them from job opportunities4 ,it also undermines the long-term productive capacity of the economy4 7#e7 ,perhaps most important1 wage gains and income growth have been subpar for middle-class ,americans4 ,average hourly earnings of private-sector workers have increased by just #a4f percent over the past year4 ,prior to the recession1 average hourly earnings were tracking close to #d percent4 ,likewise1 average income levels have remained flat in recent years4 ,real median household income is just under #eb1jjj1 one of the lowest levels since #aiie4 7#f7 ,the unsustainable fiscal trajectory has cast a shadow on the country's economic outlook4 investors and businesses make decisions on a forward-looking basis4 they know that today's large debt levels are simply tomorrow's tax hikes1 interest rate increases1 or inflation and they act accordingly4 ,this debt overhang1 and the uncertainty it generates1 can weigh on growth1 investment1 and job creation4 7#g7 ,nearly all economists1 including those at the ,,cbo1 conclude that reducing budget deficits 7thereby bending the curve on debt levels is a net positive for economic growth over time4 ,the logic is that deficit reduction creates long-term economic benefits because it increases the pool of national savings and boosts investment1 thereby raising economic growth and job creation4 7#h7 ,,cbo analyzed the ,house ,republican fiscal year #bjaf budget resolution and found it would increase real output per capita 7a proxy for a country's standard of living7 by about #a1jjj in #bjbe and roughly #e1jjj by #bjdj relative to the baseline path4 ,that means more income and greater prosperity for all ,americans4 7#i7 ,in contrast1 if the ,government remains on the current fiscal path1 future generations will face ever-higher debt service costs1 a decline in national savings1 and a crowding out of private investment4 ,this dynamic will eventually lead to a decline in economic output and a diminution in our country's standard of living4 7#aj7 ,the key economic challenge is determining how to expand the economic pie1 not how best to divide up and re-distribute a shrinking pie4 7#aa7 ,a stronger economy is vital to lowering deficit levels and eventually balancing the budget4 ,according to ,,cbo1 if annual real ,,gdp growth is just #j4a percentage point higher over the budget window1 deficits would be reduced by #cbf billion4 7#ab7 ,this budget resolution therefore embraces pro-growth policies1 such as fundamental tax reform1 that will help foster a stronger economy1 greater opportunities and more job creation4 7b7 ,policy on ,economic ,growth and ,job ,creation ,it is the policy of this resolution to promote faster economic growth and job creation4 ,by putting the budget on a sustainable path1 this resolution ends the debt-fueled uncertainty holding back job creators4 ,reforms to the tax code will put ,american businesses and workers in a better position to compete and thrive in the #bast century global economy4 ,this resolution targets the regulatory red tape and cronyism that stack the deck in favor of special interests4 ,all of the reforms in this resolution serve as means to the larger end of helping the economy grow and expanding opportunity for all ,americans4 #hjd4 ,policy statement on tax reform 7a7 ,findings ,the ,house finds the following3 7#a7 ,a world-class tax system should be simple1 fair1 and promote 7rather than impede7 economic growth4 ,the ,united ,states tax code fails on all three counts3 ,it is notoriously complex1 patently unfair1 and highly inefficient4 ,the tax code's complexity distorts decisions to work1 save1 and invest1 which leads to slower economic growth1 lower wages1 and less job creation4 7#b7 ,over the past decade alone1 there have been #d1ajg changes to the tax code1 more than one per day4 ,many of the major changes over the years have involved carving out special preferences1 exclusions1 or deductions for various activities or groups4 ,these loopholes add up to more than #a trillion per year and make the code unfair1 inefficient1 and highly complex4 7#c7 ,in addition1 these tax preferences are disproportionately used by upper-income individuals4 7#d7 ,the large amount of tax preferences that pervade the code end up narrowing the tax base4 ,a narrow tax base1 in turn1 requires much higher tax rates to raise a given amount of revenue4 7#e7 ,it is estimated that ,american taxpayers end up spending #afj billion and roughly #f billion hours a year complying with the tax code waste of time and resources that could be used in more productive activities4 7#f7 ,standard economic theory shows that high marginal tax rates dampen the incentives to work1 save1 and invest1 which reduces economic output and job creation4 ,lower economic output1 in turn1 mutes the intended revenue gain from higher marginal tax rates4 7#g7 ,roughly half of ,united ,states active business income and half of private sector employment are derived from business entities 7such as partnerships1 ,s corporations1 and sole proprietorships7 that are taxed on a pass-through basis1 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 rate4 ,small businesses1 in particular1 tend to choose this form for ,federal tax purposes1 and the top ,federal rate on such small business income can reach nearly #de percent4 ,for these reasons1 sound economic policy requires lowering marginal rates on these pass-through entities4 7#h7 ,the ,united ,states corporate income tax rate 7including ,federal1 ,state1 and local taxes7 sums to slightly more than #ci percent1 the highest rate in the industrialized world4 ,tax rates this high suppress wages and discourage investment and job creation1 distort business activity1 and put ,american businesses at a competitive disadvantage with foreign competitors4 7#i7 ,by deterring potential investment1 the ,united ,states corporate tax restrains economic growth and job creation4 ,the ,united ,states tax rate differential with other countries also fosters a variety of complicated multinational corporate behaviors intended to avoid the tax1 which have the effect of moving the tax base offshore1 destroying ,american jobs1 and decreasing corporate revenue4 7#aj7 ,the worldwide structure of ,united ,states international taxation essentially taxes earnings of ,united ,states firms twice1 putting them at a significant competitive disadvantage with competitors with more competitive international tax systems4 7#aa7 ,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 avoidance4 7#ab7 ,the tax code imposes costs on ,american workers through lower wages1 on consumers in higher prices1 and on investors in diminished returns4 7#ac7 ,revenues have averaged about #ag4d percent of the economy throughout modern ,american history4 ,revenues rise above this level under current law to #ah4c percent of the economy by the end of the #aj-year budget window4 7#ad7 ,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 education4 7#ae7 ,this resolution also rejects the idea of instituting a carbon tax in the ,united ,states1 which some have offered as a new source of revenue4 ,such a plan would damage the economy1 cost jobs1 and raise prices on ,american consumers4 7#af7 ,closing tax loopholes to fund spending does not constitute fundamental tax reform4 7#ag7 ,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 spending4 ,washington has a spending problem1 not a revenue problem4 7#ah7 ,many economists believe that fundamental tax reform 7i4e4 a broader tax base and lower tax rates7 would lead to greater labor supply and increased investment1 which1 over time1 would have a positive impact on total national output4 7#ai7 ,heretofore1 the congressional scorekeepers the ,congressional ,budget ,office 7,,cbo7 and the ,joint ,committee on ,taxation 7,,jct74 7#bj7 ,static scoring implicitly assumes that the size of the economy 7and therefore key economic variables such as labor supply and investment7 remains fixed throughout the considered budget horizon4 ,this is an abstraction from reality4 7#ba7 ,a new ,house rule was adopted at the beginning of the #aadth ,congress to help correct this problem4 ,this rule requires ,,cbo and ,,jct to incorporate the macroeconomic effects of major legislation into their official cost estimates4 7#bb7 ,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 conventions4 7b7 ,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 growth1 create ,american jobs1 increase wages1 and benefit ,american consumers1 investors1 and workers through fundamental tax reform that-- 7#a7 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 laws2 7#b7 substantially lowers tax rates for individuals and consolidates the current seven individual income tax brackets into fewer brackets2 7#c7 repeals the ,alternative ,minimum ,tax2 7#d7 reduces the corporate tax rate2 and 7#e7 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 industry4 #hje4 ,policy statement on trade 7a7 ,findings ,the ,house finds the following3 7#a7 ,opening foreign markets to ,american exports is vital to the ,united

,foreign-affiliate activity tends to complement1 not substitute for1 key parent activities in the ,united ,states such as employment1 worker compensation1 and capital investment4 ,when ,united ,states headquartered multinationals invest and expand operations abroad it often leads to more jobs and economic growth at home4 7#e7 ,trade agreements have saved the average ,american family of four more than #aj1jjj per year1 as a result of lower duties4 ,trade agreements also lower the cost of manufacturing inputs by removing duties4 7#f7 ,american businesses and workers have shown that1 on a level playing field1 they can excel and surpass the international competition4 7#g7 ,when negotiating trade agreements1 ,united ,states laws on ,intellectual ,property 7,,ip7 protection should be used as a benchmark for establishing global ,,ip frameworks4 ,strong ,,ip protections have contributed significantly to the ,united ,states status as a world leader in innovation across sectors1 including in the development of life-saving biologic medicines4 ,the data protections afforded to biologics in ,united ,states law1 including #ab years of data protection1 allow continued development of pioneering medicines to benefit patients both in the ,united ,states and abroad4 ,to maintain the cycle of innovation and achieve truly #bast century trade agreements1 it is vital that our negotiators insist on the highest standards for ,,ip protections4 7#h7 ,the status quo of the current tax code also undermines the competitiveness of ,united ,states businesses and costs the ,united ,states economy investment and jobs4 7#i7 ,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 taxes4 ,they are essentially taxed twice4 ,this puts them at an obvious competitive disadvantage4 ,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 ,states4 7#aj7 ,the ability to defer ,united ,states taxes on their foreign operations1 which some erroneously refer to as a tax loophole1 cushions this disadvantage to a certain extent4 ,eliminating or restricting this provision 7and others like it7 would harm ,united ,states competitiveness4 7#aa7 ,this budget resolution advocates fundamental tax reform that would lower the ,united ,states corporate rate1 now the highest in the industrialized world1 and switch to a more competitive system of international taxation4 ,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 7because the ,united ,states corporate rate is so high74 7b7 ,policy on trade ,it is the policy of this concurrent resolution to pursue international trade1 global commerce1 and a modern and competitive ,united ,states international tax system to promote job creation in the ,united ,states4 ,the ,united ,states should continue

than #ee million retirees1 individuals with disabilities1 and survivors depend on ,social ,security4 ,since enactment1 ,social ,security has served as a vital leg on the three-legged stool of retirement security1 which includes employer provided pensions as well as personal savings4 7#b7 ,the ,social ,security ,trustees ,report has repeatedly recommended that ,social ,security's long-term financial challenges be addressed soon4 ,each year without reform1 the financial condition of ,social ,security becomes more precarious and the threat to seniors and those receiving ,social ,security

than #cjj percent from #b4g million to over #aj4i million4 ,this increase is not due strictly to population growth or decreases in health4 ,david ,autor and ,mark ,duggan have found that the increase

annual hours of compliance paperwork1 imposing #bd4c billion of compliance costs on the private sector and an #h billion cost burden on the ,states4 7#f7 ,the highest regulatory costs come from rules issued by the ,environmental ,protection ,agency 7,,epa72 these regulations are primarily targeted at the coal industry4 ,in ,june #bjad1 the ,,epa proposed a rule to cut carbon pollution from the ,nation's power plants4 ,the proposed standards are unachievable with current commercially available technology1 resulting in a de-facto ban on new coal-fired power plants4 7#g7 ,coal-fired power plants provide roughly #dj percent of the ,united ,states electricity at a low cost4 ,unfairly targeting the coal industry with costly and unachievable regulations will increase energy prices1 disproportionately disadvantaging energy-intensive industries like manufacturing and construction1 and will make life more difficult for millions of low-income and middle class families already struggling to pay their bills4 7#h7 ,three hundred and thirty coal units are being retired or converted as a result of ,,epa regulations4 ,combined with the de-facto prohibition on new plants1 these retirements and conversions may further increase the cost of electricity4 7#i7 ,a recent study by the energy market analysis group ,energy ,ventures ,analysis ,inc4 estimates the average energy bill

burdened by excessive regulation1 enact legislation that-- 7#a7 promotes economic growth and job creation by eliminating unnecessary red tape and streamlining and simplifying ,federal regulations2 7#b7 requires the implementation of a regulatory budget to be allocated amongst ,government agencies1 which would require congressional approval and limit the maximum costs of regulations in a given year2 7#c7 requires congressional approval of all new major regulations 7those with an impact of #ajj million or more7 before enactment as opposed to current law in which ,congress must expressly disapprove of regulation to prevent it from becoming law1 which would keep ,congress engaged as to pending regulatory policy and prevent costly and unsound policies from being implemented and becoming effective2 7#d7 requires a three year retrospective cost-benefit analysis of all new major regulations1 to ensure that regulations operate as intended2 7#e7 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 practice2 and 7#f7 requires a formal rulemaking process for all major regulations1 which would increase transparency over the process and allow interested parties to communicate their views on proposed legislation to agency officials4 #haa4 ,policy statement on higher education and workforce development opportunity 7a7 ,findings on ,higher ,education ,the ,house finds the following3 7#a7 ,a well-educated workforce is critical to economic1 job1 and wage growth4 7#b7 ,roughly #bj million students are enrolled in

access and affordability to higher education for ,america's young people4 7b7 ,policy on higher education affordability ,it is the policy of this resolution to address the root drivers of tuition inflation1 by-- 7#a7 targeting ,federal financial aid to those most in need2 7#b7 streamlining programs that provide aid to make them more effective2 7#c7 maintaining the maximum ,pell grant award level at #e1gge in each year of the budget window2 and 7#d7 removing regulatory barriers in higher education that act to restrict flexibility and innovative teaching1 particularly as it relates to

,policy statement on ,department of ,veterans ,affairs 7a7 ,findings ,the ,house finds the following3 7#a7 ,for years1 there has been serious concern regarding the ,department of ,veterans ,affairs 7,,va7 bureaucratic mismanagement and continuous failure to provide veterans timely access to health care and benefits4 7#b7 ,in #bjad1 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 care4 ,the ,,va hospital scandal led to the immediate resignation of then-,secretary of ,veterans ,affairs ,eric ,k4 ,shinseki4 7#c7 ,in #bjae1 for the first time ever1 ,,va health care was added to the high-risk list of the ,government ,accountability ,office 7,,gao71 due to management and oversight failures that have directly resulted in risks to the timeliness1 cost-effectiveness1 and quality of health care4 7#d7 ,in response to the scandal1 the ,house ,committee on ,veterans'

provided #ae 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

the ,,va's progress to ensure resources provided by ,congress are sufficient and efficiently used to provide needed benefits and services to veterans4 #hac4 ,policy statement on ,federal accounting methodologies 7a7 ,findings ,the ,house finds the following3 7#a7 ,given the thousands of ,federal programs and trillions of dollars the ,federal ,government spends each year1 assessing and accounting for ,federal fiscal activities and liabilities is a complex undertaking4 7#b7 ,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 forward4 7#c7 ,most fiscal analysis produced by the ,congressional ,budget ,office 7,,cbo7 is conducted over a relatively short time horizon3 #aj or #be years4 ,while this time frame is useful for most purposes1 it fails to consider the fiscal consequences over the longer term4 7#d7 ,additionally1 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 cohorts4 7#e7 ,another consideration is how ,federal programs should be accounted for4 ,the accrual method of accounting records revenue when it is earned and expenses when they are incurred1 while the cash method records revenue and expenses when cash is actually paid or received4 7#f7 ,the ,federal budget accounts for most programs using cash accounting4 ,some programs1 however1 particularly loan and loan guarantee programs1 are accounted for using accrual methods4 7#g7 ,,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 insurance4 7#h7 ,where accrual accounting is used1 it is almost exclusively calculated by ,,cbo according to the methodology outlined in the ,federal ,credit ,reform ,act of #aiij 7,,fcra74 ,,cbo uses fair value methodology instead of ,,fcra to measure the cost of ,fannie ,mae and ,freddie ,mac1 for example4 7#i7 ,,fcra methodology1 however1 understates the risk and thus the true cost of ,federal programs4 ,an alternative is fair value methodology1 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 length4 7#aj7 ,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 ,,fcra4 7b7 ,policy on ,federal accounting methodologies ,it is the policy of this resolution that ,congress should1 in consultation with the ,congressional ,budget ,office and the public affected by ,federal budgetary choices1 adopt ,government-wide 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 it4 ,such reforms may include but should not be limited to the following3 7#a7 ,providing

which is effective for the budget year4 7#c7 ,an appropriation ,act1 joint resolution1 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 effective4 7#d7 ,the allocation of budgetary resources provided to the ,committee on ,appropriations does not currently anticipate or capture direct outyear budgetary effects to programs4 7#e7 ,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
