What this amendment would do

Here is what you need to know about amendment SA 2152, proposed by Ms. Rosen along with Mr. Schumer, Mr. Kelly, and Mr. Wyden. We need to keep an eye on how our elected officials handle things like taxes and the budget, so let's break down what this aims to do using plain common sense.

What It Aims to Change or Add

This amendment adds a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the budget resolution specifically for providing tax relief to the middle class.
It gives the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget the power to change budget allocations and adjustments for legislation related to middle class tax relief.
The changes can cover tax cuts for the middle class and small businesses.
It includes a provision to ensure corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.
There is one major rule attached: any legislation passed using this fund must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
