“This budget resolution cuts discretionary budget authority over the next 6 years by $356 billion and outlays by $295 billion. My amendment adds $106 billion in budget authority and $65 billion in outlays to pay for programs like crime control, education, safer highways, aviation safety, drug treatment, environmental cleanup, and clean water. We pay for it by closing corporate loopholes and reducing tax expenditures which over the next 6 years will exceed $3 trillion. I urge all Senators to support the amendment and cast a vote for an investment in America's future.”
