SA 1133. Mr. MARKEY submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7, 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; 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 RELATING TO ENSURING
FISCAL PARITY BETWEEN DEFENSE SPENDING AND
SOCIAL INVESTMENTS.
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
ensuring fiscal parity between defense spending and social
investments, which may include funding for Medicaid, Social
Security, veterans' benefits, education, or housing
assistance, by the amounts provided in such legislation for
those purposes, provided that any increase in defense
spending is matched by an equal increase in funding for
social programs and that such legislation would not increase
the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal years 2025
through 2034.
