So the amendment was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Stated for:
Ms. DelBENE. Mr. Chair, on rollcall No. 36 I was detained in a
meeting. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.''
The Acting CHAIR. There being no further amendments, under the rule,
the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Nugent) having assumed the chair, Mr. Latham, Acting Chair of the
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, reported that
that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 444) to
require that, if the President's fiscal year 2014 budget does not
achieve balance in a fiscal year covered by such budget, the President
shall submit a supplemental unified budget by April 1, 2013, which
identifies a fiscal year in which balance is achieved, and for other
purposes, and, pursuant to House Resolution 48, he reported the bill
back to the House with sundry amendments adopted in the Committee of
the Whole.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Latham). Under the rule, the previous
question is ordered.
Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment reported from the
Committee of the Whole? If not, the Chair will put them en gros.
The amendments were agreed to.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the engrossment and third
reading of the bill.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was
read the third time.
Motion to Recommit
Ms. SCHWARTZ. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
Ms. SCHWARTZ. I am opposed.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Ms. Schwartz moves to recommit the bill H.R. 444 to the
Committee on the Budget with instructions to report the same
back to the House forthwith with the following amendment:
Strike section 2(b) and insert the following:
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Since 2009, every bipartisan commission, including the
one appointed by the President, has recommended--and the
majority of Americans agree--that we should take a balanced,
bipartisan approach to reducing the deficit that addresses
both revenue and spending.
(2) Sequestration--established by the Budget Control Act of
2011 that was passed by the Congress and signed by the
President--is a meat-ax approach to deficit reduction that
imposes deep and mindless cuts, regardless of their impact on
vital services and investments.
(3) Congress should immediately pass legislation that the
President could sign that replaces the sequester with a
balanced approach that would increase revenues without
increasing the tax burden on middle-income Americans, and
decrease long-term spending while maintaining the Medicare
guarantee, protecting Social Security and a strong social
safety net, and making strategic investments in education,
science, research, and critical infrastructure necessary to
compete in the global economy.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Pennsylvania is
recognized for 5 minutes.
Ms. SCHWARTZ. I rise in opposition to this bill and to offer the
final amendment that will not kill the bill or send it back to
committee. If adopted, the bill, as amended, will immediately proceed
to final passage.
This amendment rejects the rigid partisan view presented in this
legislation that deficit reduction must be achieved by spending cuts
alone, regardless of the consequences. Moving from one crisis to
another and failing to meet our responsibilities, as Republicans have
done time and time again, has hurt our economic growth. Most recently,
in December, our economy contracted for the first time in 3 years as a
result of delayed action by Republican leadership in the House.
[[Page H393]]
This amendment makes clear that there's a better way. It recognizes
that our Nation faces serious fiscal challenges. We agree, as the
President does, that these fiscal challenges must be addressed. We
believe that we must reduce the deficit over time and we must work to
stabilize the debt. But we must do so in a way that does not hurt our
economic recovery, that enables us to meet our obligations to our
seniors and to our children and to our future, and ensures our economic
competitiveness and economic growth.
Every bipartisan commission has said that the only way we can meet
these goals--to reduce the deficit, to meet our obligations, and to
make investments necessary for economic growth--is to do so in a
balanced way with a combination of spending cuts and new revenues. And
the American people agree. American consumers and American businesses
agree. Economists and investors, workers and managers, older Americans
and young adults all agree. We need a balanced approach. We need to
find that common ground and we need to make decisions now that provide
certainty and stability for our families, for our businesses, and for
our Nation. Yet the Republicans reject this balanced approach. They
prefer to place blame and to seek to deflect attention from the
realities before us.
The automatic across-the-board cuts of $85 billion will go into
effect in just 22 days. Rather than work with us and to work with the
President to find a better way to avoid the sequester with a mix of
cuts and revenue, they suggest a new budget process that may not be
constitutional and surely will not be productive.
The bill before us is simply a political message. We should reject
that narrow message. Instead, we should make clear that we are willing
to find that balanced approach that enables us to put our great Nation
on sound financial footing by providing certainty during economic
recovery, reducing the deficit over time, sustaining Medicare for
seniors now and into the future, protecting Social Security, and by
creating opportunity for middle class Americans and investing in
education, research, science, innovation, and infrastructure to ensure
our economic competitiveness. Because if we do, we will not only reduce
the deficit, we will expand opportunity and prosperity for all
Americans.
I yield back the balance of my time.
{time} 1140
Mr. PRICE of Georgia. I rise in opposition to the motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Speaker, my friend from Pennsylvania states that all we look at
are spending cuts alone, that that's the way we believe the budget
ought to be balanced. Certainly not. In fact, we believe strongly that
pro-growth policies will actually assist in getting us to balance much,
much sooner.
The CBO yesterday, in fact, said that currently the revenues within a
10-year period of time are going to double; in fact, the revenues this
year, this fiscal year, will reach the 10-year average, and the
revenues in the next fiscal year will be the highest level of revenues
ever recorded in the history of this Nation. Mr. Speaker, we have a
spending debt crisis, not a revenue debt crisis.
My colleague says that we reject a balanced approach. On the
contrary. In fact, all you've got to do is read our budget. There's a
balanced approach. It brings about appropriate spending reductions,
appropriate closure of loopholes in credits and reductions of the Tax
Code to gain revenue in pro-growth policy so that we can balance the
budget.
My friends on the other side of the aisle talk about needing to vote
on the sequester right way, to change the sequester right away. In
fact, that's exactly what House Republicans have done two times, Mr.
Speaker, in the last year, once in May, once in December. In fact, the
recent bill we adopted reprioritized the spending reductions included
in the sequester so that there was a calculated way to reduce spending
that did not have across-the-board spending reductions. Our friends on
the other side oppose that.
Mr. Speaker, the President's sequester, the item that he put in
place, we have proposed positive solutions for on two occasions and
passed through this House. The Senate has refused to act on those.
The President yesterday proposed a plan in a speech, not specific
legislation, that, in fact, we've talked about through our proposals
that we passed through this House on two occasions, in May and December
of last year.
Mr. Speaker, the underlying bill is pretty doggone simple. It only
asks the President to do what families do and businesses do all across
this Nation every single year, and that is to make certain that we
don't spend more money than we take in.
House Republicans on two occasions over the past 2 years have passed
a budget that gets us on a path to balance. We will do it again. Two
weeks ago we passed a bill out of this House to make certain that we
held the Senate to account, to require them to do a budget, something
they haven't done in the last 4 years.
The bill before us today simply says to the President, Mr. President,
when you bring your budget to Congress, just let us know when it comes
to balance, that's all. And, oh, by the way, the past four budgets that
the President has proposed have not ever come to balance.
Mr. Speaker, it is imperative that the House and the Senate and the
President work together to get a balanced budget to spend responsibly
so we can reinvigorate this economy and create jobs.
Turn down this motion to recommit. I urge my colleagues to accept the
underlying bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is
ordered on the motion to recommit.
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the noes appeared to have it.
Recorded Vote
Ms. SCHWARTZ. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
A recorded vote was ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 5-
minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by a 5-minute
vote on passage, if ordered.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 194,
