this amendment is budget neutral. Clearly, there is nothing added. This amendment says if in the future certain things happen to the PILT fund such that it is higher than in this budget, then allowances can be made for it. I understand, as one of the cosponsors, that that is all the amendment does. I yield the floor.

But that is compared to current policy--current policy. If we would compare your plan to current law, it is actually a tax cut.
If indeed you intend to have a bipartisan solution, then obviously you have to do some of the things we are talking about, some give-and-take.
Well, I would just say that, sometimes when we are working on trying to solve this fiscal problem, the recognition that a long-term fix is what is needed puts many people in the position that they do not know how you do that and do it now.
