§ 03
SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment would have required the government to include specific, significant cuts to the national debt (deficit reduction) as part of the fast-track budget process known as reconciliation. Because the amendment failed, the current budget plan remains unchanged without these specific spending restrictions.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
2POINT 01
Deficit reduction mandate
It sought to force the government to shrink the gap between what it spends and what it earns.
POINT 02
Reconciliation constraints
