Changes bill
119-SCONRES-7 — An original concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.
  1. Introduced
  2. Pending Consideration

What this amendment would do

Mr. Sanders put forward SA 903 to deal with the budget. Plain and simple, this amendment sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund. That just means it creates a special financial space to shift money around without adding to our national debt between the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.

What It Aims to Change and Add

  • Adds a new section to the end of title III of the concurrent resolution.
  • Gives the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate the power to change and adjust financial allocations, aggregates, appropriate levels, and the pay-as-you-go ledger.
  • Targets legislation related to redirecting wasteful defense spending.
  • Focuses on cutting waste, fraud, and abuse at the Pentagon.
  • Puts money toward expanding health care for veterans.
  • Requires Medicare to cover dental, vision, and hearing.
