This is amendment SA 2203, submitted by Mr. Lee. As folks who rely on our elected officials to spend our tax dollars wisely, we need to know what they are trying to do with our defense money.

Purpose and Changes

  • The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

  • It aims to make sure that any proposed national defense spending is actually kept here to enhance the readiness of the United States Armed Forces.

  • It explicitly aims to ensure that this money is not diverted to foreign countries.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise budget allocations and make adjustments as long as the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total fiscal years from 2025 through 2034.
