,federal ,government and its fiscal condition4 7#b7 ,most fiscal analyses produced by the ,congressional ,budget ,office 7,,cbo7 are conducted over a #aj-;fiscal year period4 ,the use of generational accounting or a longer time horizon would provide a more complete picture of the ,federal ,government's fiscal condition4 7#c7 ,the ,federal budget currently accounts for most programs on a cash accounting basis1 which records revenue and expenses when cash is actually paid or received4 ,however1 it accounts for loan and loan guarantee programs on an accrual basis1 which records revenue when earned and expenses when incurred4 7#d7 ,the ,government ,accountability ,office has advised that accrual accounting may be more accurate than cash accounting in estimating the ,federal ,government's liabilities for insurance and other programs4 7#e7 ,accrual accounting under the ,federal ,credit ,reform ,act of #aiij 7,,fcra7 understates the risk and thus the true cost of some ,federal programs1 including loans and loan guarantees4 7#f7 ,fair-value accounting better reflects the risk associated with ,federal loan and loan guarantee programs by using a market based discount rate4 ,,cbo1 for

resolution setting forth its priorities independent of the executive branch4 7,b7 ,congress and the ,president have periodically augmented the ,president's budget submission and the budget resolution by establishing statutory budget rules and limits enforced through sequestration4 7,c7 ,the share of ,federal spending that is not controlled through the annual appropriations process has ballooned from #cb percent of total ,federal spending in #aifg to #fi percent in #bjaf4 7,d7 ,activities previously considered the exclusive domain of the ,federal ,government have been fully commercialized1 contracted out to the private sector1 financed through third party arrangements1 or devolved to ,state and local governments4 7,e7 ,key functions of the ,federal ,government are now funded through user fees rather than general revenue1 often shielding them from congressional control and oversight4 7,f7 ,the ,credit ,reform ,act of #aiij placed ,federal loans and loan guarantees on an accrual

susceptible to significant improper payments4 7b7 ,policy on improper payments ,it is the policy of this concurrent resolution that an independent commission should be established with the goal of finding tangible solutions to reduce total improper payments by #ej percent within the next #e years4 ,the commission should also develop a more-stringent system of agency oversight to achieve this goal4 #eji4 ,policy statement on expenditures from agency fees and spending 7a7 ,findings ,the ,house finds the following3 7#a7 ,many ,federal agencies and organizations have permanent authority to

#bjag4 7#c7 ,agency budget justifications are1 in some cases1 not fully transparent about the amount of program activity funded through offsetting collections or fees4 ,this lack of transparency prevents effective and accountable ,government4 7b7 ,policy on ,expenditures from ,agency ,fees and ,spending ,it is the policy of this concurrent resolution that the ,house should reassert its

the program1 and helping recipients find work4 ,in the #e years following passage1 child-poverty rates fell1 welfare caseloads fell1 and workers' wages increased4 ,this bipartisan success offers a model for improving other anti-poverty programs4 7b7 ,policy on ,state ,flexibility in ,,snap ,it is the policy of this concurrent resolution that ,,snap should be reformed to reduce poverty and increase opportunity and upward mobility for struggling ,americans on the road to personal and financial independence4 ,based on the successful welfare reforms of the #aiijs1 these proposals would improve work requirements and provide flexible funding for ,states to help those most in need find gainful employment1 escape poverty1 and move up the economic ladder4 #ebj4 ,policy statement on higher education and workforce development opportunity 7a7 ,findings on higher education ,the ,house finds the following3 7#a7 ,a well-educated1 high-skilled workforce is critical to economic1 job1 and wage growth4 7#b7 ,average published tuition and fees have increased consistently above the rate of inflation across all types of colleges and universities4 7#c7 ,with an outstanding student loan portfolio of #a4c trillion1 the ,federal ,government is the largest education lender to undergraduate and graduate students1 parents1 and other guarantors4 7#d7 ,students who do not complete their college degree are at a greater risk of defaulting on their loans than those who complete their degree4 7#e7 ,participation in ,federal income-driven repayment plans is rising1 in terms of the percent of both borrowers and loan dollars1 according to the ,government ,accountability ,office4 ,because these plans offer loan balance forgiveness after a repayment period1 this increased use portends higher projected costs to taxpayers4 7b7 ,policy on higher education ,it is the policy of this concurrent resolution to promote college affordability1 access1 and success by-- 7#a7 reserving ,federal financial aid for those most in need and streamlining grant and loan aid programs to help students and families more easily assess their options for financing postsecondary education2 and 7#b7 removing regulatory barriers to reduce costs1 increase access1 and allow for innovative teaching models4 7c7 ,findings on workforce development ,the ,house finds the following3 7#a7 #g4e million ,americans are currently unemployed4 7#b7 ,despite billions of dollars in spending1 those looking for work are stymied by a broken workforce development system that fails to connect workers with assistance and employers with skilled personnel4 7#c7 ,the ,house ,committee on ,education and the ,workforce successfully consolidated #ae workforce development programs when ,congress enacted the ,workforce ,innovation and ,opportunity ,act in #bjad4 7d7 ,policy on workforce development ,it is the policy of this concurrent resolution to build on the success of the ,workforce ,innovation and ,opportunity ,act by-- 7#a7 further streamlining and consolidating ,federal workforce development programs2 and 7#b7 empowering ,states with the flexibility to tailor funding and programs to the specific needs of their workforce4 #eba4 ,policy statement on supplemental wildfire suppression funding 7a7 ,findings ,the ,house finds the following3 7#a7 ,in #aiie1 fire activities made up #af percent of the ,united ,states ,forest ,service's 7,,usfs7 annual appropriated budget4 ,since #bjae1 more than #ej percent has now been dedicated to wildfire4 7#b7 ,wildland fire suppression activities are currently funded entirely within the ,,usfs budget1 based on a #aj-year rolling average4 ,using this model1 the agency must average firefighting costs from the past #aj years to predict and request costs for the next year4 ,when the average was stable1 the agency was able to use this model to budget consistently for the annual costs associated with wildland fire suppression4 7#c7 ,over the last few decades1 wildland fire suppression costs have increased as fire seasons have grown longer and the frequency1 size1 and severity of wildland fires has increased4 7#d7 ,the six worst fire seasons since #aifj have all occurred since #bjjj4 ,since #bjjj1 many western states have experienced the largest wildfires in their ,state's history4 ,in #bjaf alone1 there were a recorded #fg1eie fires and a total of over #e4e million acres burned4 ,the suppression costs to ,,usfs and other ,federal agencies for #bjaf totaled over #a4i billion dollars4 7#e7 ,as wildfire costs continue to increase1 funding levels for ,,usfs wildfire suppression activities will also continue to constrict funding levels for other necessary ,,usfs forest management activities focused on land management and wildfire prevention4 7b7 ,policy on supplemental wildfire suppression funding ,it is the policy of this concurrent resolution that ,congress1 in coordination with the ,administration1 should develop both a long-term funding mechanism that would allow supplemental wildfire suppression funding and reforms on reducing hazardous fuel loads on ,federal forests and lands that could decrease wildfires4 #ebb4 ,policy statement on the ,department of ,veterans ,affairs 7a7 ,findings ,the ,house finds the following3 7#a7 ,for years there have been serious concerns regarding the ,department of

added to the ,government ,accountability ,office's 7,,gao7 high-risk list1 due to mismanagement and oversight failures1 lack of a unified vision1 strategy1 or set of goals to guide their outcomes1 and the inability to ensure allocated resources are used in a cost-effective and efficient way to improve veterans' health care access4 7#c7 ,the ,,va's failure to provide timely and accessible health care to ,america's veterans is unacceptable4 ,while ,congress has done its part for more than a decade by providing sufficient funding for the ,,va1 the agency has mismanaged these resources1 resulting in proven adverse effects on veterans and their families4 7b7 ,policy on the ,department of ,veterans ,affairs ,it is the policy of this concurrent resolution that the ,house should require the ,,va to conduct an audit of its programs named on ,,gao's high-risk list and report its findings to the ,committee on ,appropriations1 the ,committee on the ,budget1 and the ,committee on ,veterans ,affairs of the ,house of ,representatives4 #ebc4 ,policy statement on moving the ,united ,states ,postal ,service on budget 7a7 ,findings ,the ,house finds the following3 7#a7 ,the

#aihi 7,public ,law #aja-bci7 moved the ,united ,states ,postal ,service 7,,usps7 off budget and exempted it from sequestration4 7#c7 ,the ,,usps has a direct effect on the fiscal posture of the

7,c7 incurring #ae billion in debt from the ,treasury1 the maximum permitted by law2 7,d7 continued operating deficits since #bjjg2 7,e7 defaulting on its statutory obligation to prefund health care benefits for future retirees2 and 7,f7 carrying #aai billion in total unfunded liabilities with no foreseeable pathway of funding these liabilities under current law4 7b7 ,policy on moving the ,,usps on budget ,it is the policy of this concurrent resolution that all receipts and disbursements of the ,,usps should be included in the congressional budget and the budget of the ,federal ,government4 #ebd4 ,policy statement on the ,judgment ,fund 7a7 ,findings ,the ,house finds the following3 7#a7 ,the ,judgment ,fund 7,fund71 established in #aief1 was created to pay judgments and settlements of lawsuits against the ,federal ,government4 7#b7 ,as a result of the ,fund's design1 it is ripe for executive branch exploitation4 ,the ,obama ,administration used the ,fund to make billions of dollars in payments to ,federal agencies and foreign entities4 ,for example-- 7,a7 on ,january #ag1 #bjaf1 the ,state ,department announced the ,federal ,government agreed to pay the ,iranian government #a4g billion to settle a case related to the sale of military equipment prior to the ,iranian revolution1 of which #a4c billion was sourced through the ,fund1 without prior congressional notification2 the ,obama ,administration's use of the ,fund to make this and other payments raises serious concerns by sidestepping ,congress2 and 7,b7 in #bjaf1 the ,department of ,health and ,human ,services announced its intentions to use the ,fund for settlements with health insurers who sued the ,federal ,government over the loss of funds for risk corridors under the ,patient ,protection and ,affordable ,care ,act4 7#c7 ,failing to address the lack of oversight over the ,fund annually costs taxpayers billions of dollars1 as payments exceeded #d4f billion in #bjaf and more than #bf billion in the preceding #aj year period4 7b7 ,policy on ,judgment ,fund ,it is the policy of this concurrent resolution that the ,house should consider legislation that reclaims ,congress's power of the purse over the ,fund4 ,such legislation should-- 7#a7 prohibit interest payments paid from the ,fund for accounts or assets frozen by the ,federal ,government and listed on-- 7,a7 the ,sanctions

,fund makes a settlement or court ordered lump sum or aggregated payment exceeding #ejj million2 and 7#c7 require legislative action to approve payments from the ,fund in excess of a specified threshold1 increase transparency1 and require ,federal agencies to reimburse the ,fund over a fixed time period4 #ebe4 ,policy statement on responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars 7a7 ,findings ,the ,house finds that significant savings were achieved by the ,house by consolidating operations and renegotiating contracts4 7b7 ,policy on responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars ,it is the policy of this concurrent resolution that-- 7#a7 the ,house should be a model for the responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources1 and identify any savings that can be achieved through greater productivity and efficiency gains in the operation and maintenance of ,house services and resources1 including printing1 conferences1 utilities1 telecommunications1 furniture1 grounds maintenance1 postage1 and rent2 7#b7 the ,house should review policies and procedures for the acquisition of goods and services to eliminate unnecessary spending2 7#c7 the ,committee on ,house ,administration should review the policies pertaining to services provided to ,members and committees of the ,house1 and identify ways to reduce any subsidies paid for the operation of the ,house gym1 barber shop1 salon1 and the ,house dining room2 7#d7 no taxpayer funds should be used to purchase first class airfare or to lease corporate jets for ,members of ,congress2 and 7#e7 retirement benefits for ,members of ,congress should not include free1 taxpayer-funded health care for life4 #ebf4 ,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 #c counts3 it is complex1 unfair1 and 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 ,standard economic theory holds that high marginal tax rates lessen 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#c7 ,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 is taxed at individual rates rather than corporate rates4 ,small businesses1 in particular1 tend to choose this form for ,federal tax purposes1 and the highest ,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#d7 ,the top ,united ,states corporate income tax rate 7including ,federal1 ,state1 and local taxes7 is slightly more than #ci percent1 the highest rate in the industrialized world4 ,tax rates this high suppress wages1 discourage investment and job creation1 distort business activity1 and put ,american businesses at a competitive disadvantage with foreign competitors4 7#e7 ,by deterring potential investment1 the ,united ,states corporate tax restrains economic growth and job creation4 ,the ,united ,states tax rate differential fosters a variety of complicated multinational corporate practices intended to avoid the tax1 which have the effect of moving the tax base offshore1 destroying ,american jobs1 and decreasing corporate revenue4 7#f7 ,the world-wide structure of ,united ,states international taxation essentially taxes earnings of ,united ,states firms twice1 putting them at a significant competitive disadvantage with competitors that have more competitive international tax systems4 7#g7 ,reforming the tax code would boost the competitiveness of ,united ,states companies operating abroad and significantly reduce tax avoidance4 7#h7 ,the tax code imposes costs on ,american workers through lower wages1 consumers in higher prices1 and investors in diminished returns4 7#i7 ,increasing taxes to raise revenue and meet out-of-control spending would sink the economy and ,americans' ability to save for their children's education and retirement4 7#aj7 ,closing special preference carve outs in our tax code to finance higher spending does not constitute fundamental tax reform4 7#aa7 ,tax reform should curb or eliminate tax breaks and use those savings to lower tax rates across the board1 not to fund more wasteful ,federal ,government spending4 ,washington has a spending problem1 not a revenue problem4 7#ab7 ,many economists believe that fundamental tax reform1 including a broader tax base and lower tax rates1 would lead to greater labor supply and increased investment1 which would have a positive impact on total national output4 7b7 ,policy on tax reform ,it is the policy of this concurrent resolution that the ,house should consider comprehensive tax reform legislation that promotes economic growth1 creates ,american jobs1 increases wages1 and benefits ,american consumers1 investors1 and workers by-- 7#a7 simplifying the tax code to make it fairer to ,american families and businesses and reducing the amount of time and resources necessary to comply with tax laws2 7#b7 substantially lowering tax rates for individuals and consolidating the current seven
