SA 3055. Mr. BARRASSO submitted an amendment intended to be proposed
by him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 14, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2022 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2023 through 2031; which was ordered to lie on the table; as
follows:
At the end of title III, add the following:
SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND TO PROHIBIT THE GREEN
NEW DEAL.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
Federal greenhouse gas restrictions, which may include
limiting or prohibiting legislation or regulations to
implement the Green New Deal, to ship United States companies
and jobs overseas, to impose soaring electricity, gasoline,
home heating oil, and other energy prices on working class
families, or to make the United States increasingly dependent
on foreign supply chains, by the amounts provided in such
legislation for those purposes, provided that such
legislation would not increase the deficit over either the
period of the total of fiscal years 2022 through 2026 or the
period of the total of fiscal years 2022 through 2031.
