SA 1603. Mrs. SHAHEEN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed
by her to the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14, establishing the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year

At the appropriate place, insert the following:
SEC. ___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO LOWERING
PRICES FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
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
lowering prices for the people of the United States, which
may include preventing sweeping taxes on all imports,
limiting the ability of the President to unilaterally raise
taxes by thousands of dollars per person, and reducing
uncertainty for households and businesses that damages the
economy, by the amounts provided in such legislation for
those purposes, provided that such legislation would not
increase the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal
years 2025 through 2034.
