BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT
Mr. SANDERS. Mr. President, I wish to submit to the Senate a budget
scorekeeping report. The report, which covers fiscal year 2022, was
prepared by my staff on the Budget Committee and the Congressional
Budget Office pursuant to section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of
the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as amended. This information
allows the Senate Budget Committee to determine if budgetary points of
order lie against pending legislation.
The report shows the effect on spending and revenues of congressional
action through September 15, 2022, as compared to the levels the Senate
agreed to in the budget resolution for fiscal year 2022, S. Con. Res.
14. Since my last scorekeeping report on April 28, seven laws with
significant budgetary effects have been signed by the President, and I
have revised the levels in the budget resolution two times for
legislation.
The Democratic staff of the Budget Committee prepared tables 1 and 2.
Table 1 compares the mandatory spending of each authorizing committee
against the enforceable allocations under section 302 of the
Congressional Budget Act. It shows 10 of the 16 authorizing committees
are in compliance with their allocations, either because no legislation
with significant budgetary costs was enacted or the legislation
qualified under the budget resolution for an allocation adjustment.
Most of the spending above allowable levels is attributed to either the
CHIPS Act of 2022 or the Honoring our PACT Act of 2022.
Table 2 shows the Senate pay-as-you-go--PAYGO--scorecard tallying
enacted legislation with significant effects on mandatory spending and
revenues. The scorecard shows a savings of $4.7 billion in 2022, a
deficit of $174 billion over the 2022-2026 period, and a deficit of
$528 billion over the 2022-2031 period. When compared to the allowable
amounts on the PAYGO scorecard last adjusted on September 12, there is
a deficit of $1.3 billion on the scorecard for 2022, $185 billion over
the 2022-2026 period, and $667 billion over the 2022-2031 period.
In addition to these tables, I am submitting a letter from the
Congressional Budget Office with further detail. For fiscal year 2022,
current budgetary levels are within allowed amounts. Current law budget
authority is $2.6 billion below the maximum allowed in the revised
budget resolution, outlays are $17 billion below the allowed maximum,
and revenues are $68 million above the allowed minimum. The tables also
show that there has been no net change for Social Security.
I ask unanimous consent that the letter and accompanying tables from
CBO be printed in the Congressional Record.
There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in
the Record, as follows:

a On September 23, 2021, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget reset the Senate's Pay-As-You-Go
Scorecard to zero for all fiscal years.
b The amounts shown represent the estimated effect of the public laws on the deficit.
c Excludes off-budget amounts.
d Section 3201(b) requires the budgetary effects of that division to be excluded from the Senate's PAYGO
scorecard; however, the revenue effects from the immigration extensions included in division A are included in
the scorecard because division A does not fall within the exclusion in section 3201 of division D.
e Pursuant to section 3110 of S. Con. Res. 11 (114th Congress), the Concurrent Budget Resolution for Fiscal Year
2016, the budgetary effects stemming from increases in enterprise guarantee fees of the Federal National
Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation are excluded.
f Pursuant to section 905(b), the budgetary effects of division J are excluded from the Senate's PAYGO
Scorecard. In addition, 905(c) classifies the budgetary effects of division J as emergency and emergency
amounts are excluded from the Senate's PAYGO Scorecard.
g Section 2201 requires the estimated budgetary effects stemming from division C to be excluded from the
Senate's PAYGO Scorecard; however, the insignificant revenue effects from immigration extensions included in
division A are included in the scorecard because division A does not fall within the exclusion of section
2201.
h The act increases outlays and revenues by an equal amount resulting in a neutral net impact on the deficit.
i CBO has insufficient information about how the Administration would use the authorities under this legislation
and thus has no basis to estimate its effects on federal spending.
j Section 21(b) designates that the outlays that were previously designated as emergency would continue to be
designated as emergency pursuant to section 4001(a) and section 4001(b) of S.Con.Res. 14 (117th Congress). The
revenues however, are included in this table but are insignificant in every year and cumulatively.
k Section 23005 excludes the budgetary effects of each division in this Act from the Senate's PAYGO Scorecard.
l The budgetary effects of the bill are excluded from the Senate PAYGO Scorecard pursuant to sections 102(f)(2),
106(e)(2), 107(e)(2), and 10003(b).
m Pursuant to section 4106(a)(6) of H.Con.Res. 71, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018
(115th Congress), a reconciliation bill that provides net deficit reduction shall not be entered on the
Senate's PAYGO Scorecard. Since the current year and five-year totals do not provide deficit reduction they
are included in this table.
