                 TITLE V--CONGRESSIONAL POLICY CHANGES

     SEC. 501. POLICY STATEMENT ON SOCIAL SECURITY.

       It is the policy of this concurrent resolution that 
     Congress and the relevant committees of jurisdiction enact 
     legislation to ensure the Social Security System achieves 
     solvency over the 75-year window as follows:
       (1) The legislation must modify the Primary Insurance 
     Amount formula starting in 2013 to smoothly phase down so 
     that starting with workers born after 1985, it will reach a 
     flat benefit of $1,200 in 2012 dollars indexed between 2012 
     and the year in question by the increase in average wages.
       (2) Effective 2013, reduce benefits on a progressive basis 
     for single beneficiaries with incomes over $55,000 and 
     married couples with incomes over $110,000 so that 
     individuals and married couples who file taxes jointly, with 
     more than $110,000 and $165,000, respectively, in non-Social 
     Security income will receive no benefit.
       (3) From 2013 to 2022, the normal retirement age will rise 
     to 68 for workers born in or after 1959. After 2031, the 
     normal retirement age will be indexed to longevity, adding 
     about 1 month every 2 years according to current projections.
       (4) The normal retirement age will be increased by 4 months 
     per year starting with individuals born in 1954 and stopping 
     when it reaches age 68 for individuals born in or after 1959.
       (5) From 2013 to 2031, the early retirement age rises to 65 
     for workers born in or after 1964. After 2031, the early 
     retirement age will be indexed to longevity, adding about 1 
     month every 2 years according to current projections.
       (6) The early eligibility age will be increased by 3 months 
     per year starting with individuals born in 1953 and stopping 
     when it reaches age 65 for individuals born in or after 1964.

     SEC. 502. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICARE.

       It is the policy of this concurrent resolution that 
     Congress and the relevant committees of jurisdiction enact 
     legislation to ensure a reduction in the unfunded liabilities 
     of Medicare as follows:
       (1) In 2017, 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 overseen by a separate independent agency.
       (2) Preserves the traditional Medicare fee for service 
     option administered by the Department of Health and Human 
     Services.
       (3) For each region, the base Federal premium support would 
     be initially set at 88 percent of the average of 3 lowest 
     bids.
       (4) Provides for enhanced risk adjustment to ensure 
     continuity in coverage and market stability.
       (5) Raises the age of eligibility gradually over 10 years, 
     increasing from 65 to 68, resulting in a 3.6 month increase 
     per year and subsequently increased or decreased based on 
     longevity.
       (6) The Federal-based premium support amount would be 
     reduced or phased out for upper income seniors and increased 
     for lower income seniors.

     SEC. 503. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICAID.

       It is the policy of this concurrent resolution that 
     Congress and the relevant committees of jurisdiction enact 
     legislation to ensure fiscal sustainability at the Federal 
     level while protecting the most vulnerable and promoting 
     beneficiary independence as follows:
       (1) Medicaid is reformed to provide direct Federal premium 
     support for low-income, nondisabled, nonelderly individuals.
       (2) The Federal Government would provide at least $2,000 
     for an individual and at least $3,500 in premium support for 
     a family and up to $9,000 for the lowest income families.
       (3) Current Federal Medicaid funding for acute and long-
     term care services provided to the disabled and elderly (dual 
     eligibles) would be converted into a fixed payment to the 
     States adjusted on a per capita basis for medical inflation.
       (4) States would be permitted to design and manage more 
     appropriate care and service delivery to the disabled and 
     elderly populations remaining in the program.

     SEC. 504. POLICY STATEMENT ON TAX REFORM.

       It is the policy of this concurrent resolution that 
     Congress and the relevant committees of jurisdiction shall 
     enact legislation to ensure the adoption of a new tax system 
     that replaces all existing taxes collected by the Federal 
     Government including but not limited to income, payroll, gift 
     and estate taxes, and excises except those dedicated to 
     specific Trust Funds, with a new flat tax featuring a 
     consumed-income tax base structure that is economically 
     neutral with respect to saving and investment, reduces tax 
     complexity, and provides for a globally competitive single 
     tax rate as follows:
       (1) The new tax will have a single flat tax rate consistent 
     with and sufficient to collect the annual revenue levels 
     specified herein. The individual tax code shall include no 
     deductions, exemptions, exclusions, or credits except as 
     follows:
       (A) A deduction for charitable contributions to 
     institutions qualifying as charitable organizations under 
     current law.
       (B) An elective deduction for home mortgage interest 
     subject to the condition that if and only if the borrow 
     elects the deduction the lender would then owe tax on all 
     resulting income.
       (C) A deduction for higher education tuition and fees.
       (D) A standard deduction for seniors equal to the sum of 
     the flat Social Security benefit amount plus the value of the 
     Medicare defined contributions.

[[Page 11746]]

       (E) An exclusion for seniors of up to $10,000 in wage and 
     salary income.
       (F) The current law Earned Income Credit.
       (G) A $3,500 nonrefundable tax credit for families ($2,000 
     for individuals) to purchase health insurance. The new 
     individual tax would tax all income and other proceeds used 
     for consumption and exclude all savings.
       (2) The business tax code shall apply the same rate as the 
     individual tax code, and shall levy tax on total revenue from 
     the domestic sale of goods and services less purchases of 
     goods and services from other firms less wages, salaries, and 
     related employee costs. All credits currently applicable to 
     business income would be repealed except the Alternative 
     Simplified Credit for research and development expenditures.
       (3) Individuals and businesses would be subject to taxation 
     solely on income generated within the United States. A border 
     tax adjustment system would be developed in consultation with 
     the World Trade Organization to neutralize tax differences 
     for goods and services entering and leaving the United States 
     proper.
       (4) Tax reform shall be enacted with due care through 
     transition provisions to avoid insofar as possible 
     retroactive tax increases or decreases arising from the 
     accrued tax consequences of decisions made under current tax 
     law.

     SEC. 505. POLICY STATEMENT ON GOVERNMENT ASSET SALES.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
       (1) The Federal Government owns and controls vast assets, 
     including huge swaths of commercial land, especially in the 
     West; power generation facilities; valuable portions of the 
     electromagnetic spectrum; underutilized buildings; and 
     financial assets.
       (2) Control of these numerous and varied assets is 1 key 
     expression of a government much too large and intrusive.
       (3) Given the Federal Government's excessive spending, 
     which has driven trillion-dollar-plus deficits for 4 straight 
     years, and generated debt burdens that are stifling present-
     day economic growth and threatening the Nation's future 
     prosperity.
       (4) Divesting itself of these assets would make an 
     important contribution to reducing Government's debt and 
     interest costs.
       (b) Policy on Asset Sales.--It is the policy of this budget 
     resolution that the House and Senate shall each develop a 
     package of asset sales and transfers of government activities 
     to the private sector. These proposals, which are to yield 
     revenues or savings of at least $260,000,000,000 through 
     fiscal year 2028, shall be submitted to the respective 
     chambers for enactment in fiscal year 2013.
       (c) Assumptions Regarding Asset Sales.--The assets in the 
     package must include, though not be limited to, the 
     following:
       (1) Land administered by the Bureau of Land Management and 
     the Department of Agriculture.
       (2) Federal buildings and other real estate.
       (3) Mineral rights.
       (4) Electromagnetic spectrum.
       (5) Facilities administered by the Power Marketing 
     Administrations and by the Tennessee Valley Authority.
       (6) Federal loans and other financial assets.
       (7) Amtrak.
       (d) Assumptions Regarding Transfer of Government 
     Activities.--Transfers of government activities to the 
     private must include, though not be limited to, the 
     following:
       (1) The Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation.
       (2) The Government Printing Office.
       (3) The Architect of the Capitol.
       (4) The Bureau of Reclamation.

     SEC. 506. POLICY ON REPEALING OBAMACARE.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
       (1) The quality of United States health care, as well as 
     the stability of the nation's economy and the Federal budget, 
     depend on solving the genuine cost and delivery challenges in 
     the health sector.
       (2) But the pervasive government intrusiveness and 
     $1,390,000,000,000 cost of Obamacare are precisely the wrong 
     prescription for problems that have developed grown from 
     faulty government policy, particularly on the part of the 
     Federal Government.
       (3) Obamacare will generate fewer choices, less access, and 
     greater dependence on the Government for health care, while 
     increasing taxes, regulation and mandates on individuals and 
     businesses.
       (4) A majority of Americans continue to oppose this one-
     size-fits-all ``remedy,'' a Government takeover of one sixth 
     of the economy that was rammed through Congress despite a 
     clear lack of consensus.
       (b) Policy on Obamacare.--It is the policy of this budget 
     resolution that Congress should repeal Obamacare and develop 
     a fresh strategy built on a patient-centered, market-based 
     solution.

                      TITLE VI--SENSE OF CONGRESS

     SEC. 601. REGULATORY REFORM.

       It is the policy of this concurrent resolution that 
     Congress and the relevant committees of jurisdiction enact 
     legislation to ensure a regulatory reform as follows:
       (1) Apply regulatory analysis requirements to independent 
     agencies.--It shall be the policy of Congress to pass into 
     law a requirement for independent agencies to abide by the 
     same regulatory analysis requirement as those required by 
     executive branch agencies.
       (2) Adopt the regulations from the executive in need of 
     scrutiny act (reins).--It shall be the policy of Congress to 
     vote on the Regulations From the Executive in Need of 
     Scrutiny Act of 2011, legislation that would require all 
     regulations that impose a burden greater than $100 million in 
     economic aggregate may not be implemented as law unless 
     Congress gives their consent by voting on the rule.
       (3) Sunset all regulations.--It shall be the policy of 
     Congress that regulations imposed by the Federal Government 
     shall automatically sunset every 2 years unless repromulgated 
     by Congress.
       (4) Process reform.--It shall be the policy of Congress to 
     implement regulatory process reform by instituting 
     statutorily required regulatory impact analysis for all 
     agencies, require the publication of regulatory impact 
     analysis before the regulation is finalized, and ensure that 
     not only are regulatory impact analysis conducted, but 
     applied to the issued regulation or rulemaking.
       (5) Incorporation of formal rulemaking for major rules.--It 
     shall be the policy of Congress to apply formal rulemaking 
     procedures to all major regulations or those regulations that 
     exceed $100,000,000 in aggregate economic costs.

     SEC. 602. RESCIND UNSPENT OR UNOBLIGATED BALANCES AFTER 36 
                   MONTHS.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) any adjustments of allocations and aggregates made 
     pursuant to this resolution shall require that any 
     unobligated or unspent allocations be rescinded after 36 
     months;
       (2) revised allocations and aggregates resulting from these 
     adjustments resulting from the required rescissions shall be 
     considered for the purposes of the Congressional Budget Act 
     of 1974 as allocations and aggregates contained in this 
     resolution; and
       (3) for purposes of this resolution the levels of new 
     budget authority, outlays, direct spending, new entitlement 
     authority, revenues, deficits, and surpluses for a fiscal 
     year or period of fiscal years shall be determined on the 
     basis of estimates made by the Committee on the Budget of the 
     Senate.

                          ____________________
