[[Page 4513]]

     except that it shall not include the Committee on

     consideration) provided by each amendment that was adopted in 
     the House to the bill or joint resolution.
       (c)(1) If an amendment includes a provision described in 
     paragraph (2), the chairman of the Committee on the Budget 
     shall, upon the engrossment of a House bill or joint 
     resolution or a House amendment to a Senate bill or joint 
     resolution, other than an appropriation bill, reduce the 
     level of total revenues set forth in the applicable 
     concurrent resolution on the budget for the fiscal year or 
     for the total of that first fiscal year and the ensuing 
     fiscal years in an amount equal to the net reduction in 
     mandatory authority (either under current law or proposed by 
     a bill or joint resolution under consideration) provided by 
     each amendment adopted by the House to the bill or joint 
     resolution. Such adjustment shall be in addition to the 
     adjustments described in subsection (b).
       (2)(A) The provision specified in paragraph (1) is as 
     follows: ``The amount of mandatory budget authority reduced 
     by this amendment may be used to offset a decrease in 
     revenues.''
       (B) All points of order are waived against an amendment 
     including the text specified in subparagraph (A) provided the 
     amendment is otherwise in order.
       (d) As used in this rule, the term--
       (1) ``appropriation bill'' means any general or special 
     appropriation bill, and any bill or joint resolution making 
     supplemental, deficiency, or continuing appropriations 
     through the end of fiscal year 2008 or any subsequent fiscal 
     year, as the case may be.
       (2) ``mandatory budget authority'' means any entitlement 
     authority as defined by, and interpreted for purposes of, the 
     Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
       (e) During the consideration of any bill or joint 
     resolution, the chairman of the Committee on the Budget shall 
     maintain a running tally, which shall be available to all 
     Members, of the amendments adopted reflecting increases and 
     decreases of budget authority in the bill or joint 
     resolution.

     SEC. 309. BUDGET DISCRETIONARY ACCOUNTS.

       (a)(1) The chairman of the Committee on the Budget shall 
     maintain an account to be known as the ``Budget Protection 
     Discretionary Account''. The Account shall be divided into 
     entries corresponding to the allocation to the Committee on 
     Appropriations, and the committee's suballocations, under 
     section 302(a) and 302(b) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
     1974.
       (2) Each entry shall consist only of amounts credited to it 
     under subsection (b). No entry of a negative amount shall be 
     made.
       (b)(1) Upon the engrossment of a House appropriations bill, 
     the chairman of the Committee on the Budget shall--
       (A) credit the applicable entries of the Budget Protection 
     Discretionary Account by the amounts specified in paragraph 
     (2).
       (B) reduce the applicable 302(a) and (b) allocations by the 
     amount specified in paragraph (2).
       (2) Each amount specified in subparagraph (A) shall be the 
     net reduction in discretionary budget authority provided by 
     each amendment adopted by the House to the bill or joint 
     resolution.
       (c)(1) If an amendment includes a provision described in 
     paragraph (2), the chairman of the Committee on the Budget 
     shall, upon the engrossment of a House appropriations bill, 
     reduce the level of total revenues set forth in the 
     applicable concurrent resolution on the budget for the fiscal 
     year or for the total of that first fiscal year and the 
     ensuing fiscal years in an amount equal to the net reduction 
     in discretionary budget authority provided by each amendment 
     that was adopted by the House to the bill or joint 
     resolution. Such adjustment shall be in addition to the 
     adjustments described in subsection (b).
       (2)(A) The provision specified in paragraph (1) is as 
     follows: ``The amount of discretionary budget authority 
     reduced by this amendment may be used to offset a decrease in 
     revenues.''
       (B) All points of order are waived against an amendment 
     including the text specified in subparagraph (A) provided the 
     amendment is otherwise in order.
       (d) As used in this rule, the term ``appropriation bill'' 
     means any general or special appropriation bill, and any bill

     or any subsequent fiscal year, as the case may be.
       (e) During the consideration of any bill or joint 
     resolution, the chairman of the Committee on the Budget shall 
     maintain a running tally, which shall be available to all 
     Members, of the amendments adopted reflecting increases and

     resolution.

     SEC. 310. TREATMENT OF RESCISSION BILLS IN THE HOUSE.

       (a)(1) By February 1, May 1, July 30, and November 11 of 
     each session of Congress, the majority leader shall introduce 
     a rescission bill. If such bill is not introduced by that 
     date, then whenever a rescission bill is introduced during a 
     session on or after that date, a motion to discharge the 
     committee from its consideration shall be privileged after 
     the 10-legislative day period beginning on that date for the 
     first 5 such bills.
       (2) It shall not be in order to offer any amendment to a 
     rescission bill except an amendment that increases the amount 
     of budget authority that such bill rescinds.
       (b) Whenever a rescission bill passes the House, the 
     Committee on the Budget shall immediately reduce the 
     applicable allocations under section 302(a) of the

     reductions in budget authority and in outlays resulting from 
     such rescission bill.
       (c)(1) It shall not be in order to consider any rescission 
     bill, or conference report thereon or amendment thereto, 
     unless--
       (A) in the case of such bill or conference report thereon, 
     it is made available to Members and the general public on the 
     Internet for at least 48 hours before its consideration; or
       (B)(i) in the case of an amendment to such rescission bill 
     made in order by a rule, it is made available to Members and 
     the general public on the Internet within one hour after the 
     rule is filed; or
       (ii) in the case of an amendment under an open rule, it is 
     made available to Members and the general public on the 
     Internet immediately after being offered; in a format that is 
     searchable and sortable.
       (2) No amendment to an amendment to a rescission bill shall 
     be in order unless germane to the amendment to which it is 
     offered.
       (d) As used in this section, the term ``rescission bill'' 
     means a bill or joint resolution which only rescinds, in 
     whole or in part, budget authority and which includes only 
     titles corresponding to the most recently enacted 
     appropriation bills that continue to include unobligated 
     balances.

     SEC. 311. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING BASELINE REVENUE 
                   PROJECTIONS.

       For purposes of constructing its baseline revenue 
     projections, the Congressional Budget Office should assume 
     that any tax provision which is scheduled to expire under 
     current law will be extended through the duration of any 
     budget forecast by Congressional Budget Office so as to 
     ensure that expiring tax provisions and expiring spending 
     programs (other than direct appropriations) are treated in 
     like fashion.

     SEC. 312. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING LONG-TERM BUDGET 
                   PROJECTIONS.

       For purposes of constructing its ten-year and long-term 
     budget projection reports, the Congressional Budget Office 
     should include an alternative scenario that assumes that 
     mandatory spending programs grow at the same rate as average, 
     projected nominal gross domestic product (GDP).

     SEC. 313. MAKE IT EASIER TO AMEND APPROPRIATION BILLS.

       The first sentence of clause 2(c) of rule XXI of the Rules 
     of the House of Representatives is amended by inserting ``, 
     except to the extent that it is a germane amendment to an 
     authorizing provision or a line item appropriation of the 
     bill under consideration'' after ``changing existing law''.

                      TITLE IV--EARMARK MORATORIUM

     SEC. 401. EARMARK MORATORIUM.

       (a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order to consider--
       (1) a bill or joint resolution reported by any committee, 
     or any amendment thereto or conference report thereon, that 
     includes a congressional earmark, limited tax benefit, or 
     limited tariff benefit; or
       (2) a bill or joint resolution not reported by any 
     committee, or any amendment thereto or conference report 
     thereon, that includes a congressional earmark, limited tax 
     benefit, or limited tariff benefit.
       (b) Definitions.--For the purposes of this resolution, the 
     terms ``congressional earmark'', ``limited tax benefit'', and 
     ``limited tariff benefit'' have the meaning given those terms 
     in clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House of 
     Representatives.
       (c) Special Rule.--The point of order under subsection (a) 
     shall only apply to legislation providing or authorizing 
     discretionary budget authority, credit authority, or other 
     spending authority, providing a Federal tax deduction, 
     credit, or exclusion, or modifying the Harmonized Tariff 
     Schedule in fiscal year 2012 or fiscal year 2013.
       (d) Inapplicability.--This resolution shall not apply to 
     any authorization of appropriations to a Federal entity if 
     such authorization is not specifically targeted to a State, 
     locality, or congressional district.

     SEC. 402. LIMITATION OF AUTHORITY OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON 
                   RULES.

       The House Committee on Rules may not report a rule or order 
     that would waive the

[[Page 4514]]

     point of order set forth in the first section of this 
     resolution.

                            TITLE V--POLICY

     SEC. 501. POLICY STATEMENT ON HEALTH CARE LAW REPEAL.

       It is the policy of this resolution that the Patient 
     Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148), and 
     the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 
     (Public Law 111-152) should be repealed.

     SEC. 502. POLICY STATEMENT ON BAILOUTS OF STATE AND LOCAL 
                   GOVERNMENTS.

       It is the policy of this resolution that the Federal 
     Government should not bailout State and local governments, 
     including State and local government employee pension plans 
     and other post-employment benefit plans.

     SEC. 503. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEANS-TESTED WELFARE PROGRAMS.

       (a) Findings.--The House finds that:
       (1) In 1996, President Bill Clinton and congressional 
     Republicans enacted reforms that have moved families off of 
     Federal programs and enabled them to provide for themselves.
       (2) According to the most recent projections, over the next 
     10 years we will spend approximately $10 trillion on means-
     tested welfare programs.
       (3) Today, there are approximately 70 Federal programs that 
     provide benefits specifically to poor and low-income 
     Americans.
       (4) Taxpayers deserve clear and transparent information on 
     how well these programs are working, and how much the Federal 
     Government is spending on means-tested welfare.
       (b) Policy on Means-Tested Welfare Programs.--It is the 
     policy of this resolution that the President's budget should 
     disclose, in a clear and transparent manner, the aggregate 
     amount of Federal welfare expenditures, as well as an 
     estimate of State and local spending for this purpose, over 
     the next ten years.

     SEC. 504. POLICY STATEMENT ON REFORMING THE FEDERAL BUDGET 
                   PROCESS.

       It is the policy of this resolution that the Federal budget 
     process should be reformed so that it is easier to reduce 
     Federal spending than it is to increase it by enacting 
     reforms included in the Spending, Deficit, and Debt Control 
     Act of 2009 (H.R. 3964, 111th Congress).

     SEC. 505. POLICY STATEMENT ON REFORMING FEDERAL REGULATION.

       It is the policy of this resolution that the cost of 
     regulations on job creators should be reduced by enacting 
     title II of the Jobs Through Growth Act (H.R. 3400), as 
     introduced on November 10, 2011.

     SEC. 506. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICARE.

       (a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
       (1) More than 50 million Americans depend on Medicare for 
     their health security.
       (2) The Medicare Trustees Report has repeatedly recommended 
     that Medicare's long-term financial challenges be addressed 
     soon. Each year without reform, the financial condition of 
     Medicare becomes more precarious and the threat to those in 
     and near retirement becomes more pronounced. According to the 
     Congressional Budget Office--
       (A) the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund will be exhausted in 
     2022 and unable to pay scheduled benefits; and
       (B) Medicare spending is growing faster than the economy 
     and Medicare outlays are currently rising at a rate of 6.3 
     percent per year, and under the Congressional Budget Office's 
     alternative fiscal scenario, direct spending on Medicare is 
     projected to reach 7 percent of GDP by 2035 and 14 percent of 
     GDP by 2085.
       (3) Failing to address this problem will leave millions of 
     American seniors without adequate health security and younger 
     generations burdened with enormous debt to pay for spending 
     levels that cannot be sustained.
       (b) Policy on Medicare Reform.--It is the policy of this 
     resolution to protect those in and near retirement from any 
     disruptions to their Medicare benefits and offer future 
     beneficiaries the same health care options available to 
     Members of Congress.
       (c) Assumptions.--This resolution assumes reform of the 
     Medicare program such that:
       (1) Current Medicare benefits are preserved for those in 
     and near retirement, without changes.
       (2) For future generations, when they reach eligibility, 
     Medicare is reformed to provide a premium support payment and 
     a selection of guaranteed health coverage options from which 
     recipients can choose a plan that best suits their needs.
       (3) Medicare will provide additional assistance for lower-
     income beneficiaries and those with greater health risks.
       (4) Medicare spending is put on a sustainable path and the 
     Medicare program becomes solvent over the long-term.

     SEC. 507. POLICY STATEMENT ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE 
                   CANCELLATION OF UNOBLIGATED BALANCES.

       (a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
       (1) According to the Office of Management and Budget, 
     Federal agencies will hold $698 billion in unobligated 
     balances at the close of fiscal year 2013.
       (2) These funds represent direct and discretionary spending 
     made available by Congress that remain available for 
     expenditure beyond the fiscal year for which they are 
     provided.
       (3) In some cases, agencies are granted funding and it 
     remains available for obligation indefinitely.
       (4) The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 
     1974 requires the Office of Management and Budget to make 
     funds available to agencies for obligation and prohibits the 
     Administration from withholding or cancelling unobligated 
     funds unless approved by an act of Congress.
       (5) Greater congressional oversight is required to review 
     and identify potential savings from unneeded balances of 
     funds.
       (b) Policy on Deficit Reduction Through the Cancellation of 
     Unobligated Balances.--Congressional committees shall through 
     their oversight activities identify and achieve savings 
     through the cancellation or rescission of unobligated 
     balances that neither abrogate contractual obligations of the 
     Federal Government nor reduce or disrupt Federal commitments 
     under programs such as Social Security, veterans' affairs, 
     national security, and Treasury authority to finance the 
     national debt.
       (c) Deficit Reduction.--Congress, with the assistance of 
     the Government Accountability Office, the Inspectors General, 
     and other appropriate agencies should make it a high priority 
     to review unobligated balances and identify savings for 
     deficit reduction.

     SEC. 508. POLICY STATEMENT ON BLOCK GRANTING MEDICAID.

       It is the policy of this resolution that Medicaid and the 
     Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) should be block 
     granted to the states by enacting the State Health 
     Flexibility Act of 2012 (H.R. 4160) as introduced on March 7, 
     2012.
       Amend the title so as to read: ``Concurrent resolution 
     establishing the budget for the United States Government for 
     fiscal year 2013 and setting forth appropriate budgetary 
     levels for fiscal year 2012 and fiscal years 2014 through 
     2022.''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 597, the gentleman 
from New Jersey (Mr. Garrett) and a Member opposed each will control 15 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New Jersey.
  Mr. GARRETT. Madam Chair, I yield myself 2 minutes.
  Last week, the House Republicans introduced a budget that takes the 
first step towards reversing the path to debt and decline that the 
President and his fellow Democrats have laid out for the American 
people. Today the Republican Study Committee, the RSC, builds off of 
that work and offers a plan to further cut spending and balance the 
budget in just 5 years.
  With real spending cuts today, enforceable spending cuts for 
tomorrow, and commonsense changes to strengthen our Nation's safety net 
programs and pro-growth tax reform, we can finally restore much-needed 
certainty to the economy and reopen America for business.
  To say that President Obama and Senate Democrats have failed to lead 
on the most predictable economic crisis in our history would be an 
understatement. Senate Democrats have not been in the debate at all, 
failing to pass a budget for over 1,000 days. The President's most 
recent attempt at a budget--well, it came a week late, and it adds 
literally trillions of dollars to our Nation's debt.
  Every American family understands the necessity of a balanced budget. 
Families also understand that setting a budget sometimes is difficult. 
It requires difficult choices. But even with accounting gimmicks and 
the massive tax increases, our President's budget never, ever balances. 
This is a void in leadership, and it has substantial consequences on 
real Americans all across this country.
  So, today, the RSC budget represents a clear, practical way for our 
economy to--what?--begin to grow again. How do we do that? First, we 
repeal ObamaCare once and for all. Next, we cut discretionary spending, 
and we eliminate programs that are unconstitutional, duplicative, or 
harmful. Perhaps most importantly, we don't kick this can down the road 
and punt these tough decisions. We actually save our national safety 
net programs that are currently going bankrupt today.
  So with these commonsense solutions and by harnessing the power of 
competition between private insurance plans and improving at the same 
time the quality of care, we put Medicare on the path to long-term 
solvency. This offers a real plan for the future. Today I urge all to 
support the Republican Study Committee substitute.

[[Page 4515]]

  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. I rise in opposition to this amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 15 
minutes.
  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Madam Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Yesterday we debated the Republican budget plan. Today, we have a 
plan that's more of the same, except on steroids.
  As we debated yesterday, the question is not whether we should reduce 
the deficit or whether we should reduce the debt. Of course we should. 
The question is how we do it. And we should do it in a way that doesn't 
damage the ongoing economic recovery, which this proposal does. We 
should do it in a way that is balanced, meaning we have shared 
responsibility. The Democratic alternative that we'll debate shortly 
has that balance.
  We make difficult spending cuts but we also cut a lot of the 
loopholes and special breaks in the Tax Code because if you don't do 
any of that to reduce the deficit, it means you've got to reduce the 
deficit at the expense of everyone and everything else. And that, 
unfortunately, is what this budget does as well.
  It ends the Medicare guarantee for seniors. It slashes Medicaid very 
deeply, cutting the program by more than a third by the year 2022, 
where two-thirds of the funding for that program goes to seniors in 
nursing homes and disabled individuals. It cuts deeply into education 
funding, both for prekindergarten/preschool as well as college. It cuts 
deeply into those important investments, including transportation, 
which we were debating earlier today. In fact, their transportation 
proposal would cut transportation spending next year by 46 percent, 
even though we have 17 percent unemployment in the construction 
industry.
  So this budget, like the one yesterday, makes the wrong choices for 
America. We can reduce our deficits and debt. Let's just do it in a 
balanced way with shared responsibility.
  With that, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlelady from Nevada (Ms. 
Berkley).
  Ms. BERKLEY. I thank the gentleman from Maryland for yielding.
  Madam Chairman, I rise in strong opposition to both the Garrett 
substitute and the Ryan budget.
  Today's debate is about one thing: priorities. Should Nevada seniors 
be the priority for the United States Congress? Or should Wall Street 
and Big Oil companies be the priority? The Republican budget proposal 
answers that question very clearly.
  Instead of tackling Nevada's record unemployment and foreclosure 
rates, Washington Republicans are, instead, advocating to kill Medicare 
by turning it over to profit-hungry insurance companies. This proposal 
would raise the premiums for Nevada's seniors by up to $6,000 a year.

                              {time}  1220

  Why would Republicans do this? In order to pay for more tax breaks 
for corporations that ship good-paying American jobs overseas or to 
continue taxpayer giveaways to Big Oil companies that made a record 
$137 billion in profits last year alone?
  Madam Chair, these are the wrong priorities. Wall Street millionaires 
and Big Oil companies don't need our help. They're doing just fine. But 
Nevada seniors are struggling to make ends meet. Putting private 
insurance companies in between patients and their doctors would just 
make things worse.
  I encourage all of my colleagues to join me in rejecting this plan 
and any plan that has the wrong priorities and tries to kill Medicare 
by turning it over to private insurance companies whose only interest 
is profits and not the health and well-being of our seniors.
  Mr. GARRETT. At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the chairman of the 
RSC, Mr. Jordan.
  Mr. JORDAN. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  I just want to respond to two arguments my friend from Maryland has 
made in his remarks and, frankly, made the last 2 days in this debate.
  First, he says we need a balanced approach. Everyone understands when 
Democrats talk about a balanced approach, what they mean is raising 
taxes now and, oh, we promise--and you can count on this promise 
because it's coming from politicians--we promise we will cut spending 
later.
  I would like to point out: If it's so important to raise taxes on the 
American people and on certain businesses, why in the world didn't the 
Democrats do this just 24 months ago when they controlled all of 
government? In fact, they had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate 
just 24 months ago. If it was so critical, why didn't you do it then? 
So this balanced approach is not going to fly.
  The other argument they make is somehow our proposal that Mr. Garrett 
and his team put together, which I strongly support, that somehow it's 
going to hurt economic growth. Someone's got to explain to me how 
getting to balance in 5 years and then beginning to pay off a $16 
trillion debt, a debt that is now bigger than our entire economy, 
bigger than our entire GDP, someone's got to explain to me how that 
will hurt economic growth. I actually think it will probably prevent a 
downgrade, unlike last summer. If we'd have adopted this budget last 
summer, my guess is we wouldn't have gotten a downgrade from S&P.
  So I just want to commend the gentleman from New Jersey and his team 
for his hard work and make this final point.
  One of the things that makes our country special is this simple 
phenomena: parents make sacrifices for their kids so that when they 
grow up they have life better than they did. They, in turn, do it for 
their children. And each generation in this country has done it for the 
next--until today.
  Today, for the first time in American history, we have a political 
class who's living for the moment, spending for the moment, and sending 
the bill to the next generation. It is wrong; it is unfair; it is 
immoral. The only budget that's going to get us to balance in a 
reasonable period of time, in a commonsense period of time that the 
American people understand, is the budget that Mr. Garrett and his team 
have put together.
  So I strongly support it and urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.''
  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Madam Chair, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman 
from New York (Mr. Engel).
  Mr. ENGEL. I thank my friend for yielding to me.
  I rise in opposition to this budget and in opposition to the extreme 
Republican budget. Budgets are about priorities. And what are the 
priorities of my Republican friends? Protect the wealthiest in this 
country, protect big corporations, kill the seniors, and hurt middle 
class people. This is just nothing that makes sense.
  Their budget slashes services for the elderly, slashes Pell Grants, 
slashes education services, slashes services of those with 
disabilities, and increases tax cuts for the wealthiest people and the 
wealthiest corporations. That's the Republican priority. They go after 
Medicare, go after Medicaid, and give increased tax breaks to wealthy 
people.
  I don't think those are the priorities of the American people. I 
think the priorities of the American people are in the Democrat 
programs.
  Let me remind my friend on the other side of the aisle, for 6 years, 
under Mr. Bush, they controlled the Senate and the House and the 
Presidency and did none of this--none of getting back to basics with 
the budget and red ink as far as the eye can see. So the newfound 
religion we see on the other side, please spare me.
  What we do see from the other side, again, is to protect the 
wealthiest, Big Oil, big corporations, hurt Medicare and Medicaid, hurt 
the middle class, and tax breaks for the rich. Those are the Republican 
priorities.
  On the Democratic side, we care about the average person who's 
struggling to make ends meet. We want to help the average person go to 
school. These are our priorities.
  Which are the priorities of the American people? I think it's the 
Democratic priorities.
  Mr. GARRETT. At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Louisiana, a man who understands that our

[[Page 4516]]

President has failed to lead by not presenting us a balanced budget, so 
he has presented one through the RSC, Mr. Scalise.
  Mr. SCALISE. I thank the gentleman from New Jersey for bringing this 
amendment forward, this budget that implements what we would consider a 
balanced approach, and that's what we call cut, cap, and balance.
  That's what's so important about this amendment, this budget that we 
bring forward with the RSC, is that, number one, the most important 
thing is we finally control the wasteful Washington spending that has 
added mountains and mountains of debt on the backs of our children and 
grandchildren, which is just immoral. It's wrong and surely not fair to 
send the bill for all this spending to our children and grandchildren 
and continue it on autopilot, as President Obama's budget did--
President Obama's budget, by the way, which got no votes. Not even one 
Democrat voted for the President's budget.
  The contrast we bring here today is that in 5 years we will have a 
balanced budget under this amendment that's being brought forward. So 
we cut spending in areas where we've been needing to finally control 
spending like families are controlling spending back home.
  When families deal with tough economic times, they've already done 
this. They tighten their belts and they make do with what they've got 
and they live within their means. And Washington has refused to do it. 
We finally put those fiscal constraints in Washington. But then we also 
put caps in place so that until we get to a balanced budget, there's a 
freeze on discretionary spending so that we're able to finally get to 
what is ultimately a balanced Federal budget in 5 years.
  And we go further. Of course, we repeal ObamaCare, which is something 
that's been so devastating already to so many families that have lost 
the health care that they like, and so many other things like the tax 
increases that go with it--tax increases, by the way, which in many 
areas hit middle class families real hard. We abolish that.
  We even go further. We save Medicare. President Obama's budget 
actually escalates Medicare's bankruptcy. In 12 years--and this, by the 
way, is from President Obama's own Medicare actuaries--Medicare goes 
bankrupt. They're willing to sit by and let that happen. We're not 
willing to do that. We're going to save Medicare. This budget does 
that, too. It has those reforms that Chairman Ryan brought forward that 
actually put Medicare back on a sustainable growth path.
  And then we have commonsense tax reform that actually lowers overall 
rates.
  This is a great budget that's been brought forward that's finally 
responsible to address our problems.
  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Again, the reason the Republican budget and this budget do things 
like end the Medicare guarantee, do things like cut deeply into 
education for our kids' future, do things like cut Medicaid by over 
$800 billion over 10 years, is because they're not asking the very 
wealthy to share more responsibility in reducing the deficit. In fact, 
they double down on tax cuts.
  If you see from this chart from the Nonpartisan Tax Policy Institute, 
simply by locking in the portion of the Bush tax cuts that benefit the 
wealthy, millionaires, on average--people making over a million dollars 
a years--will get $129,000. Then you heard talk about how they're going 
to drop the top rate from 35 percent to 25 percent. That would give 
people earning a million dollars over $265,000.
  On top of that, they say they're going to do that in a deficit-
neutral manner. Well, to do that, you've got to make up $4.6 trillion 
in revenue loss. They're going to do it by getting rid of all those 
deductions. One of the biggest ones is the mortgage interest deduction 
that helps middle-income people.
  So the net result of what they're saying is more tax cuts for the 
folks at the very top financed by increasing the tax burden on middle-
income Americans and financed by cutting important investments that 
help grow our economy.
  With that, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. 
Moran).
  Mr. MORAN. Madam Chairman, this budget proposal is a stunningly 
radical document because at its core is a massive redistribution of 
income from the economically disadvantaged to the wealthiest members of 
our society.
  In order to fund historic, unnecessary, and unsustainable tax cuts 
for the rich, this Republican budget would require us to nearly 
eliminate our ability as a government to invest in our physical and 
human infrastructure.

                              {time}  1230

  In other words, it shows no faith in our Nation's future. It puts our 
future in the hands of those who can afford to live in gated 
communities and invest in foreign economies. In fact, more than two-
thirds of the non-defense cuts in this Republican plan come from 
programs that directly benefit low-income Americans. The path laid out 
by this resolution is one where, in my children's lifetime, most of the 
Federal Government, with the exception of defense, Social Security, and 
health care, would no longer have the money to function.
  Now, what does it mean to virtually eliminate non-defense 
discretionary spending? That's a budgetary term. But that includes 
research at NIH; roads and public transportation; transit funding; Head 
Start; education support; FBI; drug enforcement; food, meat, and drug 
inspections; no national park maintenance or environmental protection. 
That's what it means to virtually eliminate these functions of the 
government.
  The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. I yield the gentleman from Virginia an additional 30 
seconds.
  Mr. MORAN. Madam Chairman, this is not a budget for the America that 
we know today. It's a budget for Grover Norquist's America--a radical, 
conservative fantasy land where government is no longer fiscally able 
to play a role protecting those who need it most, protecting our most 
precious natural resources and investing in the job creation 
initiatives that will enable us to move forward as a people. That is 
not a vision that we should want to see passed into law, let alone into 
reality.
  Mr. GARRETT. Madam Chairman, at this time, I am pleased to yield 2 
minutes to the gentleman from Kansas who understands that this 
administration has failed our children by continuing to take from them 
so this administration can spend today.
  Mr. HUELSKAMP. I appreciate the hard work of my colleague from New 
Jersey.
  Today I rise in proud support of the RSC budget that we're discussing 
here today. This budget offers a clear vision for fiscal responsibility 
and limited government as well as a path toward accomplishing that 
vision.
  In just 3 days, the United States will have the highest corporate 
business tax rate in the world. In a matter of months, every American, 
every business owner and every investor will be subject to higher taxes 
as a result of the expiration of the Bush-Obama tax cuts. That's right, 
the Bush-Obama tax cuts will expire.
  This budget addresses these looming challenges not only by proposing 
to lower tax rates, but it also includes the ticket to make them a 
reality with reconciliation instructions that require Congress to vote 
before September 15 on comprehensive tax reform that will actually 
create jobs in America.
  On another note, this budget vastly improves Medicare and helps our 
most needy. The costs of this program are consuming our already cash-
strapped Federal and State coffers. In many States, it's not uncommon 
to spend more on Medicaid than on K-12 education. In converting 
Medicaid to a block grant program, we will enhance State-level 
accountability, respect the 10th Amendment, and give States the 
freedom, flexibility and, yes, accountability they need in order to 
serve their citizens better at the local and State level.

[[Page 4517]]

  I urge all my colleagues to support this budget as the answer to 
accomplishing America's priorities of cutting spending, keeping taxes 
low, creating jobs, and balancing our budget in a matter of years, not 
decades.
  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Madam Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman 
from Oregon, a member of the Budget Committee, Mr. Blumenauer.
  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Make no mistake, this budget is actually the heart of 
the budget philosophy of our friends from the other side of the aisle. 
This is where they want to take America. Do you remember last time it 
almost passed until the leadership was horrified, seeing that it was 
winning. Then they started twisting arms to have people change their 
votes so it would go down? It is disconnected from the real life 
consequences of average Americans and what America needs.
  There's a certain irony. We just approved a short-term extension of 
the transportation bill which makes it impossible to use the full 
construction cycle this summer because the Republicans would not allow 
a vote on the bipartisan bill that passed the Senate. They were afraid 
it would pass and we would have stability for 2 years.
  The Ryan Budget Committee budget will cut transportation 46 percent 
at a time when America's infrastructure desperately needs additional 
investment. And this budget doesn't even identify the depths of the 
cut. They shove it all into function 920, so it's disguised, but it's 
likely 10 percent or more below the already intolerable levels of the 
Ryan budget.
  This is not what people are hearing from folks at home in terms of 
what America needs to put people back to work, to strengthen our 
communities, to deal with problems of water, sewer, transportation, 
failing bridges and transit. It fails a fundamental test of the 
partnership we've had for the last 66 years of a national priority to 
rebuild, renew, and focus on transportation and infrastructure.
  This is just one more reason why we should reject both of these 
alternatives and support the program that has been offered by my friend 
from the Budget Committee.
  Mr. GARRETT. At this time, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
South Carolina, who has been a stalwart leader in the legislation 
before us in trying to have the U.S. live within a balanced budget.
  Mr. MULVANEY. Madam Chairman, I thank my colleague from New Jersey 
for the opportunity. We can and will, obviously, over the course of 
this day, say a lot about this budget--a lot of bad things about this 
budget. I prefer to focus on one positive thing above all others--one 
thing. This budget actually balances. The budget actually balances. 
Five years it takes to do that. It's not easy. In fact, it's very, very 
hard to do that.
  It's easier to borrow money. In fact, the reason that we borrow so 
much money is because it's easier to do that than it is to go home and 
tell people that we have to make hard decisions in order to balance the 
budget, and we're afraid that if we go home and tell people that we 
have to make difficult decisions, that they won't send us back the next 
term. And make no mistake about it, the most important thing in many 
people's minds in this Chamber is to make sure they come back next 
term.
  This budget challenges that. This budget balances.
  The President's does not. We took it up last night, and it failed 
overwhelmingly. No one supported it. It never balances. Later today, 
we'll take up the Democratic budget, which also never balances. Budgets 
that never balance raise a legitimate moral question, a moral issue. If 
you borrow money with the intention of paying it back, that is debt. 
There's no question. If you borrow money intending to pay it back, it's 
debt. If you borrow money never intending to pay it back, that is 
theft. That is theft, and that is what the President's budget 
represents. That is what the Democrat budget represents. That's what so 
many budgets over the course of the last generations in this town have 
represented. We have borrowed money with no plan and no intention ever 
to pay it back. And too many budgets in here today will simply continue 
that cycle.
  It's wrong. It's wrong to do to our children and our grandchildren, 
and it's wrong to do for ourselves. You should never take something and 
not even have a plan to pay it back. Say what you want to about the 
Republican Study Committee budget, say what you want to later on about 
the Republican budget that Mr. Ryan and the committee are offering, but 
at least at the very end of the day, they offer some way to pay back 
the money that we borrowed, and for those reasons alone, they merit our 
support.
  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Madam Chairman, we'll talk more later about the 
Democratic alternative and how we address the deficit in a serious and 
credible way without doing it in a manner that provides a windfall tax 
break to folks at the top at the expense of everybody else.
  For now, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from New Jersey, a member 
of the Budget Committee, Mr. Pascrell.
  Mr. PASCRELL. Madam Chair, just when you thought it couldn't get any 
worse, it does. I've listened to these words. ``Empty'' and ``pyrrhic'' 
come to my mind. How in God's name can you speak across the floor to 
the people on this side and imply that the President is guilty of 
thievery or theft when, from 2001 to now, here's the record--and I'll 
wait if you want to interject. Please stand and say ``you're wrong'': 
2001, tax cuts, not paid for; 2003, tax cuts, not paid for.
  Mr. MULVANEY. Will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. PASCRELL. No, not yet. I'm not finished. Then you can interject 
your thoughts. Don't look so startled, because what you've said is 
startling. You didn't pay for those two tax cuts, you didn't pay for 
two wars, and you didn't pay for the prescription drug plan that you 
put into effect. In fact, you didn't even vote for it, Mr. Chairman, 
yourself.
  The point of the matter is, you pay for nothing, then you're accusing 
us--you're accusing those on this side of the aisle of not being 
responsible? Do you know what you've done? By 2020, the portion of the 
debt gets bigger because of those things you folks did a few years ago, 
and you have amnesia about it.


                    Announcement by the Acting Chair

  The Acting CHAIR. The Chair must remind Members to address their 
remarks to the Chair, not to others in the second person.

                              {time}  1240

  Mr. MULVANEY. Will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. PASCRELL. I yield to the gentleman from South Carolina.
  Mr. MULVANEY. I thank my friend from New Jersey, for whom I have a 
great deal of respect, Madam Chairwoman. And what he says is correct. 
What he says is absolutely and without reservation correct. What this 
government did during the first half of this decade was wrong. 
Borrowing the money as we did was wrong. To continue it, Madam 
Chairwoman, is just as wrong.
  Mr. PASCRELL. Madam Chairman, I take back my time. I think I've been 
generous about that.
  The only difference is, the President who was the President in 2001--
I'm glad you agree with me--came into circumstances very different from 
the President who raised his hand in January of 2009, wasn't it? In 
2000, we had a surplus of $5 trillion.
  The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. I yield the gentleman another 30 seconds.
  Mr. PASCRELL. When this President raised his hand, we were losing 
750,000 jobs a year, number one; and, number two, we had a deficit 
beyond belief, Madam Chairman. And for us to compare, you must believe 
in fairy tales.
  Now, if you want to talk about a budget that's in balance, we can do 
that; but if we continue on this path and not recognize history, we 
will never come to balance. Let's be honest.
  Mr. GARRETT. At this time, I would like to yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from California (Mr. McClintock), who understands, first and 
foremost, that Washington must do what every family in the United 
States does, and that is to balance its budget.

[[Page 4518]]


  Mr. McCLINTOCK. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Madam Chairman, this Nation is on a collision course with a sovereign 
debt crisis, the magnitude of which we have never experienced. This is 
not some moonless night on the Atlantic. We are spending full speed 
ahead toward that iceberg of debt in the full light of day, and we can 
all see that plainly.
  The House budget turns the ship just barely enough to avoid hitting 
that same hazard which has already wrecked Greece. The RSC budget turns 
us promptly and safely. It builds on the House Budget Committee's work, 
but within the budget passed by the House last year as adjusted by the 
sequester.
  I've heard the descriptions--it's draconian, it's radical, it's 
extreme. It returns us to the spending levels before the Obama-Pelosi 
spending binge began in 2008. That might sound extreme to my friends 
across the aisle, but I assure them many families have been working 
within flat or even diminished family budgets since then and they have 
every right to expect that their government, over the next 5 years, 
does what they have already been doing over the past 5--work hard, 
waste not, and live within your means. If we were to do so, this Nation 
could see a balanced budget again within 5 years and redeem its 
rightful place as the respected financial leader of the world.
  We know the challenge. We see the American Dream at risk. And we know 
that we have but a fleeting moment in history to avoid the hardest 
times our Nation has ever known.
  We still have a chance to place our retirement systems on a sound 
financial footing, arrest the debilitating spiral of debt that 
threatens the very survival of our Nation, and return our economy to 
the prosperity it has known when it has enjoyed what Jefferson called a 
``wise and frugal government.''
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland has 1\3/4\ minutes 
remaining, and the gentleman from New Jersey has 3\1/2\ minutes 
remaining.
  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Madam Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. GARRETT. At this time, I'd like to yield 3 minutes then to the 
gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Graves), who also has been a leader on this 
in order to make sure that this House does what the American public 
asks for, to live within our means and to bring this country to 
prosperity.
  Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Madam Chair, these are serious times. We're 
hearing a lot of rhetoric here today. We've got some revisionist 
history. There's a lack of recollection that in 2006 and 2007 this body 
was in control by the Democrats, the Senate was controlled by the 
Democrats, and then the President inherited a mess from the Democrats 
that were in control of these bodies, of which he was a part. A little 
bit of revisionist history going on here today.
  But the fact that the Members on the other side can stand here and 
look into these cameras, into the faces of the children all across this 
Nation and not provide them a solution is appalling. Every time it is: 
let's push it off, let's push it off further. We have no plan to 
balance the budget, we have no plan to pay off the debt, but we have a 
balanced approach to continue down the same path. Now, a balanced 
approach, that's like straddling the fence: it gets you nowhere, and at 
some point you're going to fall off this fence, and it's going to hurt.
  Today, we have the opportunity to reverse this trend of trillion-
dollar deficits and balance the budget in 5 years. Today, we will 
decide whether to stop borrowing from the future to pay for the 
present. This budget presents a path to the balanced budget without 
raising taxes. It eliminates the death tax; it unlocks America's energy 
sources. This budget unleashes the power and ingenuity of America's job 
creators and addresses the entitlement elephant that is this impending 
path of insolvency that lays before us. In 6 years, Madam Chair, we 
will begin paying down the debt with this budget that's before us.
  So we should no longer accept the Democrats' and President Obama's 
decision to take us down this road to ruin, because we have a choice. 
It's a choice between two destinies: it's a destiny of debt and 
dependency--the wrong path--or it's the choice of a different path. 
Maybe it's one of opportunity and prosperity, Madam Chair. I say we 
choose the path of opportunity and prosperity. This budget--the budget 
I refer to not as the RSC budget, but as America's budget--will put us 
on that path to prosperity and opportunity.
  Madam Chair, I encourage every Member of this body, regardless of 
party, to support this budget because it is the children who are 
looking out on us today, looking for that solution, looking for a 
positive answer, and looking for us to work together. This is that 
opportunity.
  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Madam Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from New Jersey has 1 minute 
remaining.
  Mr. GARRETT. If there are no other speakers, then I will close with 
the remaining time.
  Madam Chairman, as we come to the floor today, it is agreed on both 
sides that there is plenty of blame to go around as to how we got into 
this mess. Republican and Democrat on both sides of the aisle, this 
administration and past administrations as well are to blame. We can 
point fingers all day at blame, but what we should come here today to 
do is point the finger at the solution to this problem.
  The solution is the budget that we see on the floor today. The 
solution is the RSC budget that we have here today on the floor. The 
solution is to make sure that we do on the floor today what every 
single family in this country and what every single business in this 
country has always had to do, and that is to make the tough choices, 
and that is to make the hard choices, and that is to live within our 
means, and that is to have a balanced budget.
  This is the only budget that will come to the floor today that will 
actually do all that. This is the only budget that will come that will 
make sure that we actually balance--not within 50 years, 40 years, 30 
years, 20 years, 10 years. We will actually balance within 5 years, and 
we will do so at the same time that we protect the safety net for our 
seniors today and in the future. We will do so at the same time that we 
protect our children in the future. We will do so at the same time that 
we make sure that we do not borrow from the future to pay the bills 
today.
  I ask you to support the only budget that does all those things. 
Support the RSC budget.
  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Madam Chairman, one thing I hope we can all agree on 
is that we need to protect our children and grandchildren and future 
generations. The question is not whether we need to do that. Of course 
we do. The issue is how. I keep hearing my colleagues come forward and 
passionately talk about that, but they're absolutely unwilling to take 
the balanced approach that has been recommended by bipartisan groups. 
Everyone that's looked at this challenge says we've got to take a 
combination of tough spending cuts, but we also need some revenue from 
closing tax loopholes and asking folks at the very top to go back to 
what they were paying during the Clinton administration--by the way, 
the last time that we had a balanced budget.

                              {time}  1250

  And yet, despite all that talk, they don't want us to close one 
loophole. In fact, almost every Republican in this House has signed 
this pledge to Grover Norquist saying they won't cut one tax loophole 
for the purpose of deficit reduction; that they won't ask folks making 
$1 million to contribute any more to deficit reduction. In fact, they 
propose to give them another windfall tax cut.
  That's the choice they make, and because of that choice, they cut our 
investment in education for our kids. They cut investments that will 
strengthen our economy, help build our infrastructure so we can 
outcompete and outbuild and outeducate the rest of the world. That's 
what we need to do for the future of our children.
  I urge everybody to vote against this amendment.

[[Page 4519]]

  I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. All time for debate has expired.
  The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New 
Jersey (Mr. Garrett).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. GARRETT. Madam Chair, in light of the fact that this House just 
weeks ago voted * * *
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman will suspend.
  The gentleman has not been recognized for debate.


                             Recorded Vote

  Mr. GARRETT. I ask for a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. A recorded vote has been requested. Those in favor 
of taking this vote by a recorded vote will rise. A sufficient number 
having risen, a recorded vote is ordered. Members will record their 
vote by electronic device.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 136,

  So the amendment was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  Stated against:
  Mr. FILNER. Mr. Chair, on rollcall 149, I was away from the Capitol 
due to prior commitments to my constituents. Had I been present, I 
would have voted ``no.''
  Mr. RYAN of Wisconsin. Mr. Chairman, I move that the Committee do now 
rise.
  The motion was agreed to.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Latham) having assumed the chair, Mr. Thornberry, Acting Chair of the 
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, reported that 
that Committee, having had under consideration the concurrent 
resolution (H. Con. Res. 112) establishing the budget for the United 
States Government for fiscal year 2013 and setting forth appropriate 
budgetary levels for fiscal years 2014 through 2022, had come to no 
resolution thereon.
