MINORITY VIEWS
JURISDICTION AND FUNCTIONS OF THE COMMITTEE
The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 established the
Committee on the Budget. The Budget Committee is responsible
for developing and reporting the annual concurrent resolution
on the budget (budget resolution), assembling and reporting any
reconciliation legislation required by that resolution, and
implementing and governing the congressional budget process
generally. The Committee Chair is responsible for assessing the
budgetary effects of legislation under consideration in the
House, monitoring such legislation for compliance with the
terms of the budget resolution, and providing updated
information to the House with respect to budgetary aggregates
and allocations.
In addition to its legislative duties, the Budget Committee
has responsibility for oversight and studies related to various
aspects of the budget process. The Budget Committee oversees
the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and conducts oversight of
budget execution practices. As the Committee with oversight
over the Federal budget in the broadest sense, it examines
significant economic and public policy issues and their
implications for the Federal budget. The Committee carries out
these oversight and examination responsibilities through
hearings, requests for budgetary information from executive
branch agencies, requests to CBO and the Government
Accountability Office to research and analyze specific topics,
and Committee-generated analytic reports.

Con. Res. 14, H. Res. 467, S. Con. Res. 5, the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974, the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010,
and any budget related provisions of the Rules of the House.
Pursuant to provisions of the Congressional Budget Act, the
Chair periodically published budgetary status reports in the
Congressional Record (see Appendix 1). Pursuant to the
Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act (PAYGO), the Chair published
estimates of the PAYGO budgetary effects of legislation being
considered in the House (see Appendix 2).
oversight activities
The primary responsibility of the Budget Committee is the
development of a budget resolution that sets spending and
revenue levels in aggregate and across all budget functions.
The budget functions encompass all Federal programs or
activities other than those that are defined as off-budget,
such as Social Security and the Postal Service, and those that
are considered non-budgetary, such as the Federal Reserve.
The Budget Committee's formal oversight responsibility
focuses on laws governing the budget process and the agencies
responsible. Under clause 1(d)(1)-(3) of House Rule X, the
major laws falling within its oversight include the Budget and
Accounting Act of 1921, the Congressional Budget and
Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, the Budget Enforcement
Act of 1990, the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, PAYGO, the
Budget Control Act of 2011, and the Bipartisan Budget Act of
2019. The two agencies with primary responsibility for
administering elements of these laws and hence which fall under
the Committee's jurisdiction are OMB and CBO.
The Committee was active in its oversight duties during the
117th Congress. The Committee focused on oversight of the full
budget, particularly looking at issues of potential impact on
the budget and economy over the longer term including the debt
limit, the benefits of the American Rescue Plan, and Congress'
Article I responsibilities (see list of hearings).
The House Budget Committee met on February 9, 2021 to
organize for the 117th Congress. The Committee adopted its
rules of procedure and in accordance with clause 2(d) of House
Rule X submitted the oversight plan, along with minority views,
to the Committee on Oversight and Reform and the Committee on
House Administration. The priorities of the oversight plan
include holding hearings and receiving testimony from Members
of Congress, Cabinet-level and other Federal officials, and
expert witnesses to review the President's budget submissions
and to review other budget priorities.
The Committee's oversight plan calls for focusing on a
range of issues, including COVID's effect on the economy,
ending poverty and systemic inequities, and ensuring that
communities are not left behind regardless of geographic
location or density. It also calls for the Committee to examine
how budgetary policies may affect people based on factors such
as race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity, disability, age, and national origin.
The oversight plan also calls for the continuous assessment
of the performance of Federal agencies in both administration
and service delivery by reviewing performance data in the
President's budget submissions and the relevant reports and
audits of the Government Accountability Office and the Offices
of the Inspectors General. In addition, it calls for the Budget
Committee to review Views and Estimates that are submitted to
the Committee pursuant to section 301(d) of the Congressional
Budget Act, to coordinate its oversight activities with other
committees.
With regard to budget enforcement, the Committee's
oversight plan calls for ongoing oversight of the OMB
implementation of budget submission, control, execution, and
enforcement of procedures under the Budget and Accounting Act
of 1921, the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act
of 1974, the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990, the Balanced
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, the Federal
Credit Reform Act of 1990, PAYGO, the Bipartisan Budget Act of
2019, and other applicable laws. In addition, the Committee's
oversight plan calls for examining the accuracy, timeliness,
and responsiveness of OMB.
The Budget Committee's plan also calls for working with the
appropriations and authorizing committees to ensure that
spending and tax legislation does not breach the levels set in
the budget resolution, as required under sections 302(f) and
311(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. The Committee
also monitored compliance with the House Pay-As-You-Go rule
(Rule XXI, Sec. 10) requiring that direct spending increases
and revenue losses be offset with either direct spending
reductions or revenue increases.

MINORITY VIEWS
----------
Summary Report
During the 117th Congress, Budget Committee Democrats acted
on a set of clearly misplaced priorities while claiming to be
focused on the concerns of the American people. For example,
although President Biden and congressional Democrats claimed
they reduced the deficit, the reverse is actually true--both
spending and the debt have increased, and Americans today are
facing the highest spike in prices and the fastest increase in
interest rates in 40 years. Despite this dismal reality, Budget
Committee Democrats have continued to insist on a reckless
spending agenda that has fueled today's inflation crisis. Their
policies have been misguided and the Biden Administration's
pursuit of its agenda has not been met with the level of
accountability and oversight Congress should pursue on behalf
of the American people.
Democrats' Disregard for Fiscal Responsibility
Democrats' disregard for fiscal responsibility this
Congress began immediately when Speaker Pelosi convened the
117th Congress. House Resolution 8, ``Adopting the Rules of the
House of Representatives for the One Hundred Seventeenth
Congress, and for other purposes,'' included a new broad
budgetary exemption, which exempts legislation with massive
budget effects from budgetary enforcement, including the
Democrats' own House PAYGO rule; continued the elimination of
Congress's ability to debate an increase to the debt limit; and
removed the House rule prohibiting an increase in net direct
spending in budget reconciliation instructions.
These actions only served to diminish budget transparency
and accountability to the harm of American taxpayers. Budget
Committee Democrats continually abused the Federal budget
process in order to push through an expensive and partisan
agenda which has hit American taxpayers the hardest.
Democrats' reckless spending spree has increased Federal
spending by $10 trillion above what was projected when
President Biden took office. This is a record for a President's
first 20 months in office and more than the first 196 years of
the Federal Government combined. New spending enacted by
Democrats includes:
$2.5 trillion increase in interest payments on the growing
Federal debt;
$1.9 trillion from the American Rescue Plan Act;
$745 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act;
$1+ trillion from President Biden's executive actions; and
$625 billion from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
Democrats' policies have also resulted in discretionary
spending increasing by 8 percent per year, four times faster
than the previous decade. Additionally, mandatory spending
increased by $6.5 trillion since President Biden took office,
the most ever added in one Congress, and the national debt
increased by $3.6 trillion--again, a record for a President's
first 20 months in office.
Democrats' historic spending has resulted in:
The highest inflation in 40 years--up 14.3 percent since
President Biden took office.
Since President Biden took office, the average American
household has lost at least $9,000 in purchasing power.
Since President Biden took office, real wages have declined 3.8
percent.
Interest rates rising at the fastest pace in 40 years.
111 percent increase in gas prices at peak.
$80 billion to double the size of the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) with 87,000 new agents.
One million new audits coming for American families earning less
than $200,000.
$500+ billion student loan giveaway to the wealthy.
$400+ billion in ``green'' welfare for the wealthy and big
corporations.
Democrats' Failure to Budget
Committee Democrats failed to mark up a budget in the 117th
Congress. A primary responsibility of the Committee on the
Budget is to draft and mark up a concurrent resolution on the
budget for every fiscal year. Instead, Committee Democrats
skipped the Committee markup process altogether and used the
shell of a budget for both Fiscal Year 2021 and Fiscal Year
2022 solely to trigger reconciliation and enact their broader
agenda, intentionally hiding their spending plans from the
American people by avoiding any debate about spending
priorities. In short, the Democrats' only desire when it came
to a budget in the 117th Congress was to unlock the budget
reconciliation process to enact an inherently partisan, massive
spending agenda.
Reconciliation Legislation
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
In February 2021, after congressional Democrats quickly
adopted a Fiscal Year 2021 shell budget resolution--notably
after all funding for Fiscal Year 2021 was already
appropriated--the Budget Committee marked up reconciliation
legislation, H.R. 1319, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
This legislation came with a massive $2 trillion price tag
combined with harmful policies that incentivized State
lockdowns, harmed working-class Americans, and prioritized a
political agenda over a COVID-19 response (only 9 percent of
the bill's funding was for combatting the virus via public
health efforts). Specifically, this bill included $400 billion
on policies to pay people to stay home and not work and $500
billion to bail out State and local governments.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) also confirmed that
this stimulus spending was economically unnecessary. At the
time the reconciliation bill was being considered, the
nonpartisan agency was already projecting--absent any new
stimulus funds--the economy would return to pre-pandemic levels
of real GDP growth by mid-2021, unemployment would steadily
decline, and the country would face the largest economic growth
in more than 15 years. It should also be noted that, at the
time of the Committee's markup, approximately $1 trillion of
the $4 trillion in previous COVID-19-relief enacted by Congress
remained unspent. That is why Committee Republicans offered a
motion to postpone the markup in order to provide the Biden
Administration with sufficient time to provide Congress a
complete and transparent accounting of the amount of COVID-
related funds that had been spent, funds that remained unspent,
and a timeline for when the Administration anticipated the
disbursement of the remaining unspent funds. Unfortunately,
Committee Democrats rejected this motion.
During the markup, Committee Republicans offered 12 motions
to instruct to establish key protections for working-class
Americans, seniors, families, and ensure the legislation was in
fact focused on combatting the COVID-19 virus, including:
A motion offered by Representative Hinson (IA) and
Representative Feenstra (IA) to stop the legislation from
harming America's working class.
A motion offered by Representative Donalds (FL) and
Representative Grothman (WI) to stop the legislation from
harming America's seniors and low-and middle-income working-
class Americans.
A motion offered by Representative Feenstra (IA) and
Representative Boebert (CO) to stop the legislation from using
the COVID-19 pandemic to advance a political agenda.
A motion offered by Representative Boebert (CO) and
Representative Obernolte (CA) to stop the legislation from
rewarding politicians who harm workers, small businesses, and
students.
A motion offered by Representative Obernolte (CA) and
Representative Good (VA) to stop the legislation from harming
rural America.
A motion offered by Ranking Member Smith (MO) and
Representative Carter (GA) to stop the Administration from
harming union and working-class Americans, to benefit President
Biden's campaign supporters.
A motion offered by Representative Grothman (WI) and
Representative Donalds (FL) to put American working families'
needs, protection, and support ahead of illegal immigrants and
globalism.
A motion offered by Representative Jacobs (NY) and
Representative Smucker (PA) to stop bailing out States that
cannot or will not protect their nursing home residents and
staff.
A motion offered by Ranking Member Smith (MO) and
Representative Smucker (PA) to protect America's seniors from
President Biden's agenda.
A motion offered by Representative Burgess (TX) and Ranking
Member Smith (MO) to protect American families from the COVID-
19 virus by testing and providing personal protective equipment
to illegal immigrants at the Southern Border as a result of
President Biden's border crisis.
A motion offered by Representative Good (VA) and
Representative Cline (VA) to support Americans harmed by
lockdowns.
A motion offered by Representative Donalds (FL) and
Representative Hinson (IA) to put America's children ahead of
politicians.
Committee Democrats rejected all of these motions.
In March 2021, Democrats enacted their $2 trillion American
Rescue Plan Act which Budget Committee Republicans proved,
through aggressive oversight, was the wrong plan, at the wrong
time, and for all the wrong reasons. The legislation's billions
of dollars in State and local government bailouts incentivized
continued State and local lockdowns causing many Americans to
lose their jobs, small businesses to shut down, and children to
be kept out of the classroom. Since its enactment, Americans
have been anything but rescued as record-high inflation has
robbed their paychecks and worker shortages--brought on by
Democrat policies that paid people to not work--have
exacerbated the supply chain crisis. According to a January
2022 poll by CNBC and Change Research, only 21 percent of
voters believed that this law has helped them while 29 percent
said it has left them worse off.
While Congress debated this law, Republicans warned that it
would only fuel inflation, and Democrats including Larry
Summers, a former economic advisor to President Obama and
former Treasury Secretary under President Clinton, warned that
the American Rescue Plan would cause ``inflationary pressures
of a kind we have not seen in a generation.''\1\ Even the San
Francisco Bank of the Federal Reserve has subsequently found
that the American Rescue Plan helped ignite the highest
inflation in 40 years. Equally troubling is the fact that much
of the law's spending became a slush fund for State and local
governments to spend without any real guidance from Congress or
the Biden Administration and allowed billions of taxpayer
dollars to be wasted. Committee Republicans produced weekly
communications titled, What Would They Have Me Cut?,
highlighting numerous examples of waste in the American Rescue
Plan Act including: $783 million in checks to Federal
prisoners, $5 million for a moonshine walking trail, $140
million for a luxury hotel, and $2 million to plant trees, to
name a few.

Build Back Better Act/Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
In September 2021, Democrats continued their inflationary
spending spree by adopting the Fiscal Year 2022 concurrent
resolution on the budget, once again, skipping the Committee
markup process, and using a shell of a budget to trigger
reconciliation and enact partisan legislation. House Democrats
quickly wrote H.R. 5376, the Build Back Better Act, a plan to
bankrupt the country by adding $5 trillion in new Federal
spending, $1.5 trillion in new taxes, and $3 trillion in new
debt, as confirmed by CBO, and further fuel the highest spike
in prices in 40 years. The bill primarily benefited the wealthy
by including various tax breaks and handouts, including special
interest carveouts, such as restoring a State and Local Tax
Deduction that primarily benefits high-income households,
homebuying and childcare subsidies for couples earning more
than $200,000 a year, and electric vehicle subsidies for
couples earning $500,000 a year. The Build Back Better Act also
called to drastically increase Washington command and control
over Americans through the largest expansion of the Federal
Government in 50 years, including creating more than 150 new
government programs.
The Committee on the Budget marked up H.R. 5376 on
September 25, 2021. At the time of the Committee's markup only
four of 13 cost estimates for the legislation were available,
meaning only 1 percent of the legislation had been scored by
CBO. Additionally, the debt limit suspension had also expired
on August 1, 2021, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury
projected at the time that extraordinary measures would be
exhausted by mid-to-late October. However, instead of tabling
their efforts to spend what Committee Republicans were
projecting to be trillions more, Committee Democrats failed to
act on avoiding a default on the Nation's debt limit and
instead chose to advance the most expensive piece of
legislation in American history. Prior to the markup, Ranking
Member Jason Smith sent a letter to Chairman John Yarmuth
requesting that the Committee use its markup to amend the
Fiscal Year 2022 budget resolution to include reconciliation
instructions to address the impending debt limit crisis.
Additionally, Committee Republicans offered a motion to
postpone the markup by 48 hours in order to provide Democrats
additional time to draft an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2022
budget resolution to include reconciliation instructions to
address the debt limit. Committee Democrats rejected the
motion.
During the Committee on the Budget's markup, Committee
Republicans offered 16 motions to instruct in an effort to
defend federalism, transparency, communities in need, American
taxpayers, the sanctity of life, and working families,
including:
A motion offered by Ranking Member Smith (MO) to cancel
handouts and tax cuts for the wealthy.
A motion offered by Representative Kelly (MS) to protect
the agriculture industry from a new methane fee.
A motion offered by Representative McClintock (CA) to stop
amnesty for illegal immigrants.
A motion offered by Representative Grothman (WI) to put
American students first.
A motion offered by Representative Smucker (PA) to protect
America's farmers and small businesses from ruinous tax hikes.
A motion offered by Representative Jacobs (NY) to help
tenants stay in their homes while preserving affordable
housing.
A motion offered by Representative Burgess (TX) to protect
access to life-saving treatments, cures, and medical
innovation.
A motion offered by Representative Cline (VA) to uphold
President Biden's pledge that no American earning less than
$400,000 will shoulder the burden of the tobacco tax.
A motion offered by Representative Carter (GA) to ensure
States' rights in administering their health care programs.
A motion offered by Representative Boebert (CO) to
prioritize funding for combatting wildfires and hurricane
relief instead of earmarks for Speaker Pelosi and other
Democrat pet projects.
A motion offered by Representative Donalds (FL) to stop the
weaponization of the IRS to target American taxpayers.
A motion offered by Representative Feenstra (IA) to provide
the CBO time to analyze the remaining 99 percent of the
Democrats' proposal that has yet to be scored and ensure
Congress and the American people have a clear understanding of
the true impact of the legislation.
A motion offered by Representative Good (VA) to prevent
taxpayer dollars from being used to fund abortion services.
A motion offered by Representative Hinson (IA) to prevent
subsidies for the wealthy to purchase luxury electric vehicles.
A motion offered by Representative Obernolte (CA) to focus
congressional attention on how to reduce spending.
A motion offered by Representative Miller (WV) to prevent
tax increases on Americans making less than $400,000 per year.
Although none of these motions were adopted, several
received bipartisan support in Committee.
The House began consideration of H.R. 5376 without an
official cost estimate from CBO and ultimately passed the bill
on a partisan basis. Senate Democratic Leadership then rewrote
the legislation using various budget gimmicks and fake sunsets
to hide the legislation's true costs and inflationary spending
and renamed the bill the ironic Inflation Reduction Act. House
Budget Committee Republicans exercised aggressive oversight of
the amended bill to highlight for both Chambers the true cost
of the bill, $745 billion, in addition to CBO's confirmation
that the legislation adds $60 billion to the debt over the
first five years of the budget window and 90 percent of the
law's ``deficit reduction'' would not show up until after 2029.
The legislation also includes spending for numerous
misguided priorities such as:
$3 billion for Environmental and Climate Justice.
$7.5 billion for new luxury electric vehicles for taxpayers
making upwards of $300,000.
$27 billion for a national ``climate bank'' slush-fund at the
EPA.
A $362 million handout to corporate America to make their office
buildings `greener'.
This legislation was signed into law as P.L. 117-169, the
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Democrats have shown time and
again that they believe they can spend their way out of
inflation and tax their way out of recession. Yet, their
legislation only makes the suffering Americans are already
facing much worse. According to CBO, in addition to over 230
economists, the Inflation Reduction Act, despite its name, does
not reduce inflation but rather could further fuel the high
prices already crushing American families.
Additionally, CBO confirmed that the Inflation Reduction
Act, which adds 87,000 new IRS agents and increases the IRS
budget above its previous historical high in 2010 (while it was
targeting conservative groups), will lead to more audits and
enforcement measures as well as billions of dollars of
additional taxes for families earning less than $400,000,
directly conflicting with President Biden's promise to not
increase taxes on these families. This led Treasury Secretary
Yellen to direct IRS Commissioner Rettig that ``any additional
resources--including any new personnel or auditors that are
hired--shall not be used to increase the share of small
business or households below the $400,000 threshold that are
audited relative to historic levels.'' In response to a letter
to CBO from House Budget Committee Ranking Member Smith and
Ways and Means Ranking Member Brady inquiring on this, CBO
confirmed Secretary Yellen's directive fails to prohibit
increased enforcement activities by the IRS. Rather, if IRS
audits returned to the ``historical levels'' per Secretary
Yellen's directive, then lower-and middle-income earners could
face an increase of 710,000 additional audits.
Democrats' Lack of Oversight
In the 117th Congress, Committee Democrats failed to abide
by the Committee's own oversight plan--particularly when it
came to the historical amount of Federal spending they
unleashed. The Committee on the Budget's Oversight Plan for the
117th Congress States that this ``. . .Committee will be active
in its oversight duties. . .[t]he Committee will continue its
efforts to strengthen Congress' power of the purse, through
recommending specific reforms to ensure spending and revenue
decisions are transparent and effectively carried out by the
Executive Branch.''\2\ Yet, the Committee failed to hold any
robust oversight hearings during the 117th Congress.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\Committee on the Budget, U.S. House of Representatives,
``Oversight Plan of the Committee on the Budget for the 117th Congress,
House of Representatives,'' 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Committee Republicans requested multiple oversight hearings
throughout the 117th Congress, including a hearing on President
Biden's impoundment of congressionally appropriated funds
enacted on a bipartisan basis for the border wall--an issue of
particular importance given the ongoing crisis at the U.S.
Southern Border. On April 29, 2021, Chairman Yarmuth convened
the Committee for a hearing on Congress's power of the purse
where Republicans exposed how President Biden's executive
action to terminate border wall construction and freeze all
congressionally appropriated funds dedicated to the project was
not only an abuse of executive branch power, but also directly
contributed to the Southern Border crisis.
In June 2022, 11 Republican Committee Members (more than
two-thirds of Committee Republicans) continued oversight of the
border crisis and traveled to the U.S. Southern Border to see
firsthand the magnitude and consequences of President Biden's
policies. Since President Biden took office, there have been
over four million migrant encounters at the Southwest Border,
in addition to over one million known persons who evaded U.S.
Border Patrol agents in the last two years. In Fiscal Year
2022, Customs and Border Protection seized 656,000 pounds of
drugs, including 14,700 pounds of fentanyl. Cartels are
profiting roughly $32 million per day from human trafficking
while taxpayers are paying roughly $6 million per day to
contractors to guard $350 million worth of unused border steel
sitting in various scrapyards around the U.S. It has been
nearly two years since President Biden froze Federal funds for
border wall construction, which has directly resulted in a
national security and humanitarian crisis at the Southern
Border.
In December 2021, Committee Republicans made a direct
request for a hearing on the American Rescue Plan Act, a law
which has fostered an ongoing trail of misuse and abuse of
Federal tax dollars. Chairman Yarmuth convened the Committee on
June 14, 2022, for a hearing on the law, only to tout the
supposed benefits of the plan with no attempts to discover the
extent to which this law was poorly implemented and resulted in
waste, fraud, and abuse. As Ranking Member Smith noted at the
time, neither President Biden's ``Rescue Czar'' Gene Sperling
nor his Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen appeared to testify at
that hearing despite their direct involvement in overseeing the
disbursement of trillions of taxpayer dollars.
In the absence of oversight by Committee Democrats,
Committee Republicans diligently worked to expose numerous
examples of waste and abuse in the implementation of the $2
trillion American Rescue Plan Act. Since May 2021, Committee
Republicans produced 80 weekly communications titled, What
Would They Have Me Cut?, which have highlighted the waste in
the American Rescue Plan Act to provide Americans transparency
of where their tax dollars were being spent. Some of these
examples include:
$140 million for a luxury hotel in Florida.
$7.2 million for horse racing in Arizona.
$5 million for a moonshine walking trail in North Carolina.
$4 million for beach bathrooms and parking lots in South
Carolina.
$2.1 million for a golf course in Florida.
$2 million to plant trees in New York.
$2 million for a ski mountain in Iowa.
Up to $4.38 billion in checks sent to illegal immigrants.
$1,400 checks sent to thousands of Japanese citizens living in
Japan.
