which would express the Sense of the House that utility companies 

should disclose on consumers’ utility bills the cost of the Administration’s proposed cap-and-trade policy; (2) an amendment by Rep. 

Lance, Leonard (NJ), #5, which would amend the current policy reserve fund for middle class tax relief in the resolution to include

would express the Sense of the House that before providing funding

fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)

reaches 40 percent; (4) an amendment by Rep. Cassidy, Bill (LA), 

#21, which would establish a point of order in the House against

SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS TO BE MADE IN ORDER

(Summaries derived from information provided by sponsors.) 

1. Woolsey, Lynn (CA) The Progressive Caucus substitute budget 

provides $991 billion for non-military discretionary spending in 

FY10, $469 billion above President Obama’s request; provides $479 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
3 

billion as sufficient defense spending level; and reduces the deficit 

by 58% by FY2012. Savings come from eliminating Cold War era 

weapons systems, targeting waste, fraud, and abuse at the Pentagon, military redeployment and military contractors out of Iraq, 

repeal of Bush tax cuts for those making more than $250,000 a 

year, crackdown on corporate welfare and reinstating a quartercent tax (0.25%) on all stock transactions. Spending increases include health care for all Americans, cutting poverty in half in ten 

years, additional economic stimulus, increased Foreign Assistance, 

combating global warming and establishing energy independence, 

providing comprehensive education, and providing health care to 

veterans as an entitlement. (40 minutes) 

2. Jordan, Jim (OH)/Price, Tom (GA)/Pence, Mike (IN) The RSC 

substitute budget sets spending levels, revenue levels, and deficit 

levels at lower amounts than what is projected by the CBO baseline or what is proposed in the President’s budget request. The substitute provides defense funding at the President’s level and for 

non-defense discretionary spending, the RSC substitute provides a 

hard freeze to non-defense discretionary spending, plus a one percent reduction to prior year spending levels, and also assumes 

other savings from reductions to lower-priority spending. (40 minutes) 

3. Lee, Barbara (CA)/Scott, Bobby (VA) The CBC substitute 

budget builds upon the historic investments made by the President’s budget and the Majority’s budget. However, the CBC budget 

builds on these investments by immediately repealing the 2001 and 

2003 Bush-era tax cuts that benefit the wealthiest Americans. The 

CBC budget also adds an extremely modest 0.565% surtax on adjustable gross income exceeding $500,000 for individuals ($1 million for joint filers). The CBC budget shifts those savings and additional revenue towards Education, Health Care, Job Training, 

International Aid, Justice, Transportation, and Veterans, while still 

producing a five year deficit that is $67 billion smaller than the 

Majority’s budget. (40 minutes) 

4. Ryan, Paul (WI) The GOP substitute budget spends $4.8 trillion less than the Obama budget over 10 years. Backs spending 

down to 20.7% of GDP instead of 24.5% of GDP in the Obama 

budget. Freezes non-defense/non-veterans spending; the Obama 

budget increases non-defense spending by over 9%. Borrows $3.6 

trillion less than the Obama budget over 10 years and holds debt 

to 65% of GDP. Democrats have over 82% of GDP, nearly tripling 

it over 10-years. Puts forward a long-term budget to bring debt 

under control. Avoids tax increases in 2010 by permanently extending 2001 and 2003 tax relief. Permanently fixes the Alternative 

Minimum Tax. Creates 2.1 million more Jobs than the Democrats’ 

Budget. Suspends capital gains taxes through 2010 instead of higher taxes on investment in the Obama budget. Reduces corporate 

tax rate to 25% (from 35%, 2nd highest in the industrialized world) 

to make U.S. companies more competitive and create American 

jobs. Increases over the Obama budget: Defense by $5 billion; Veterans funding by $540. Reserves $50 billion annually for war or 

unmet defense needs. Provides for health and retirement security 

by reforming programs to ensure they provide benefits for future 

beneficiaries. (40 minutes)

TITLE III—CONGRESSIONAL POLICY 

STATEMENTS 

SEC. 301. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICARE. 

(a) MEDICARE POLICY.—It is the policy of this concurrent resolution that Congress will enact legislation to ensure the Medicare 

benefit continues to provide health care coverage for seniors by establishing a new methodology to make the program solvent and fiscally sustainable. Legislation shall be enacted that: 

(1) Expands protections for seniors against catastrophic medical costs, simplifies beneficiary contributions, updates Medicare payments, increases flexibility for hospitals serving unusually high numbers of low-income patients, and reduces the 

prescription drug benefit subsidy for high-income seniors 

(household incomes over $170,000). To ensure that the cost of 

frivolous litigation is not passed on to beneficiaries, the medical malpractice system is reformed. 

(2) Preserves the current Medicare program for individuals 

55 and older. For those under 55, the resolution gradually converts the current Medicare program into one in which Medicare beneficiaries receive a premium support payment -- equivalent to 100 percent of the cost of the Medicare benefit -- to 

purchase health coverage from a menu of Medicare-approved 

plans, similar to options available to Members of Congress. 

The premium support payment is risk-adjusted to increase 

with age and health status, and income-related so low-income 

seniors receive extra support. Premiums continue to be based 

on an all-beneficiary average, so the phasing of the younger 

population into the new program will not increase premiums 

for the population continuing in the existing program. 

(b) FORCE AND EFFECT OF THE MEDICARE TRIGGER.—The Medicare trigger as set forth in section 803 of the Medicare Prescription 

Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 shall apply 

during the 111th Congress. 

SEC. 302. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICAID. 

It is the policy of this concurrent resolution that Medicaid— 

(1) is outdated and fiscally unsustainable; 

(2) has a payment error rate of at least 10 percent (as reported by GAO in January 2009); 

(3) without major reform, its recipients’ access to health care 

is in jeopardy; 

(4) must be reformed to make the health care safety net 

stronger and more reliable for the neediest populations; 

(5) must be modernized by enhancing State flexibility and 

their sensitivity to spending growth, while allowing States to 

offer their Medicaid populations more options; and 

(6) recipients, like all other Americans, deserve to make their 

own health care decisions instead of government bureaucrats 

dictating them. 

SEC. 303. POLICY STATEMENT ON AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE 

HEALTH CARE. 

It is the policy assumption of this concurrent resolution that legislation should be enacted that reforms the health care marketVerDate Nov 24 2008 07:08 Apr 02, 2009 Jkt 079008 PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR073.XXX HR073

place by ensuring universal access to health coverage for every 

American regardless of pre-existing health conditions. It allows individuals who like their health coverage to keep what they have, 

and offers those without coverage access health care options similar 

to what Members of Congress have. The resolution prevents the expansion of entitlements, the creation of government-controlled 

health plans, and the imposition of new mandates or taxes on businesses. Individuals must have the freedom to choose the health 

care plan that best meets their needs and freedom from government bureaucrats making their health care decisions. Medical professionals must not be prohibited – either through the use of comparative effectiveness data or otherwise – from providing and/or 

prescribing care they believe to be medically necessary. 

SEC. 304. POLICY STATEMENT ON SOCIAL SECURITY. 

(a) FINDINGS.— (1) More than 30 million Americans depend on Social Security as a key part of their retirement. Since enactment, Social 

Security has served as a vital leg on the ‘‘three-legged stool’’ 

of retirement security, which today includes employer provided 

pensions as well as personal savings. 

(2) Every year, the Social Security Trustees report warns of 

the dire financial straits that Social Security is in. Each year 

without reform, the financial condition of Social Security becomes more precarious, and the threat to seniors becomes more 

pronounced— 

(A) in 2041, the Trust Fund will be exhausted, and will 

be unable to pay scheduled benefits; and 

(B) with the exhaustion of the Trust Fund in 2041, benefits will be cut 22 percent across the board – hurting all 

those who rely upon Social Security as a fundamental part 

of their retirement security; and by 2082, the cuts required 

would equal 25 percent. 

(3) The current recession is exacerbating the crisis to Social 

Security. The most recent March 2009 CBO baseline finds that 

the cash surplus in 2010 will only be $3 billion – down $22 billion from just 3 months ago. Should the recession continue, we 

may enter into a cash deficit in 2010 – 8 years earlier than expected. 

(4) Lower-income Americans rely on Social Security for a 

larger proportion of their retirement income. Therefore, reforms should take into consideration the need to protect lowerincome Americans’ retirement security. 

(5) Americans deserve to have their elected Representatives 

take seriously the issue of Social Security reform. We must 

work together – in a bipartisan fashion – in order to solve this 

crisis. In this spirit, this resolution puts forth a reform that 

was first proposed by the current Director of the Office of Management and Budget. 

(b) POLICY ON SOCIAL SECURITY.—It is the policy of this resolution that Congress should begin to act on Social Security. Should 

the Trustees of the Social Security Trust Fund determine that the 

Trust Fund would be unable to pay scheduled benefits within five 

years (currently estimated in 2036); reforms such as the following 

are recommended to be implemented to mitigate across-the-board 

cuts in benefit payments: 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
80 

(1) Provide for a phase in of low-earner benefit enhancement. 

This would protect lower-income Americans meeting certain requirements by ensuring they receive a benefit of at least 120 

percent of the poverty line. 

(2) Reduce the 15-percent Primary Insurance Amount bracket by 0.25 percentage points per year, from the date at which 

SSA finds it cannot meet scheduled benefits within 5 years 

(currently 2036). Phase in over 20 years. 

(3) The spending, revenue, deficit, and debt levels in this 

concurrent resolution assume current law benefits will be fully 

paid and do not assume any savings in Social Security. 

SEC. 305. POLICY STATEMENT ON ENERGY. 

(a) ENERGY POLICY.—It is recognized that: — 

(1) energy is recognized as a vital component to our national 

and economic security. 

(2) our dependence on foreign oil, natural gas, and other 

sources of energy is a threat to our national and economic security; 

(3) our dependence on foreign oil, natural gas, and other fuel 

sources is contributing to a massive transfer of wealth outside 

of the United States; 

(4) increasing production of domestic energy will reduce our 

dependence on foreign oil, natural gas, and other sources of energy; 

(5) high rates of taxes levied upon domestic production of oil 

and natural gas energy sources will place domestic producers 

at a competitive disadvantage relative to foreign competitors 

and will discourage domestic energy production; 

(6) a significant amount of oil and natural gas reserves are 

believed to be located on Federal lands including the Outer 

Continental Shelf, the Gulf of Mexico, the Arctic National and 

Wildlife Refuge, the National Petroleum Reserve, the Intermountain West Region; 

(7) domestic energy development on Federal lands should 

comply with environmental laws and regulations and should be 

conducted in an environmentally responsible manner that 

minimizes the disruption to fish, plant, insect, and animal 

wildlife; 

(8) alternative forms of energy development including solar, 

wind, biomass, wave, tidal, hydro, and other forms can produce 

pollution-free energy with favorable environmental benefits, including the reduction of global green house gas emissions; 

(9) increased nuclear energy is an important component to 

achieving an energy supply free of green house gas emissions; 

(10) lower energy prices will do more to promote economic 

growth, raise living standards, increase incomes, and create 

jobs than will higher energy prices; 

(11) numerous studies on cap and trade conducted by government agencies, universities, think tanks, and industry groups 

agree that cap and trade will raise energy prices for businesses 

and consumers; and 

(12) revenues, royalties, fees, and taxes raised from developing energy projects located on Federal lands could provide 

billions of dollars to the Treasury which could be used to fund 

increased Federal participation and support for alternative, reVerDate Nov 24 2008 07:08 Apr 02, 2009 Jkt 079008 PO 00000 Frm 00080 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR073.XXX HR073

newable, and nuclear energy projects without raising new 

taxes or increasing energy prices on businesses and consumers. 

(b) STATEMENT ON ENERGY POLICY.—It is the policy of this concurrent resolution that the energy policy of the United States is 

to— 

(1) support our national and economic security by reducing 

our dependence on foreign oil, natural gas, and other sources 

of energy; 

(2) support the increased development of energy on Federal 

lands in an environmentally responsible manner consistent 

with existing laws and regulations in a manner that minimizes 

the impact on fish, plant, insect, and animal wildlife; 

(3) support the development of alternative, renewable, and 

nuclear sources of energy that will reduce reliance on foreign 

oil and contribute to reduced levels of global green house gasses; 

(4) direct revenues from royalties, bonus bids, fees, rents, 

and other taxes levied on new energy projects on Federal lands 

to fund increased Federal participation in research, development, loans, loan guarantees, insurance, tax credits and subsidies, and other assistance that will encourage new development of alternative, renewable, and nuclear sources of energy; 

(5) ensure taxes levied on domestic oil and natural gas produces do not place them at a competitive disadvantage relative 

to foreign competitors, lead to job losses, or encourage a greater dependence on foreign sources of oil, natural gas, or other 

energy sources; and 

(6) pursue policies that keep energy prices low and contribute to economic growth and avoid policies that raise energy 

prices on American businesses and consumers. 

SEC. 306. POLICY STATEMENT ON TAXES. 

(a) IN GENERAL.—The policies of this concurrent resolution include the following assumptions: 

(1) The Federal tax code is needlessly complex and burdensome, and it tends to discourage economic growth and United 

States competitiveness. 

(2) The policies included in this resolution are aimed at addressing these problems. 

(b) TAXES ON INDIVIDUALS.—This concurrent resolution would 

give individuals a choice in paying their Federal income taxes. Individuals can choose to pay their Federal taxes under the existing 

tax code, with all the familiar deductions and schedules, or they 

could move to a highly simplified income tax system. This simplified tax system broadens the tax base by cleaning out nearly all 

the existing tax deductions and credits, compresses the tax schedule down to two low rates and retains a generous standard deduction and exemption level. The tax form for this system could fit on 

a postcard. Within ten years of enactment of this legislation, individuals would choose one of the two tax systems: the current tax 

code or the simplified system. Individuals are allowed one additional changeover between the two tax systems over the course of 

their lifetimes. Individuals are also allowed to change tax systems 

when a major life event (death, divorce, or marriage) alters their 

filing status. In contrast to the six rates in the current tax code, 

the simplified tax has just two rates: 10 percent on adjusted gross 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
82 

income (AGI) up to $100,000 for joint filers and $50,000 for single 

filers; and 25 percent on taxable income above these amounts. 

These tax brackets are adjusted by a cost-of-living adjustment as 

measured by the consumer price index. The simplified code eliminates nearly all existing tax deductions, exclusions, and other special provisions, but it retains a generous base exemption amount 

for all taxpayers. The standard deduction for joint filers is $25,000 

for joint filers and $12,500 for single filers. The personal exemption 

amount is $3500. This proposal patches the alternative minimum 

tax (AMT) at the 2009 level for the foreseeable future in order to 

prevent millions of middle class Americans from being ensnared by 

an unfair tax hike. This tax system also maintains the current 

lower rates on capital gains and dividends for all taxpayers. 

(c) TAXES ON CORPORATIONS.—The U.S. corporate income tax 

rate is the second highest in the industrialized world. The tax leads 

to lowers wages for workers, higher prices for consumers, and it 

also discourages foreign investment in the U.S. This concurrent 

resolution assumes policies that address these problems by lowering the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 25 percent, 

pushing it into the more competitive range among industrialized 

countries. In conjunction with this move, the resolution repeals the 

tax deduction for U.S. production activities (section 199), as companies receiving this benefit will now be taxed at the lower 25-percent rate. It also temporarily suspends the tax on capital gains for 

the rest of 2009 and 2010. These policies are designed to keep overall Federal tax revenues at approximately 18.3 percent of GDP for 

the foreseeable future, roughly equivalent to the long-term historical average.

Budget; and 

(2) such chairman may make any other necessary adjustments to such levels to reflect the timing of responses to reconciliation directives pursuant to section 201 of this resolution. 

SEC. 409. EMERGENCY SPENDING AND CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS.
