I urge my colleagues to seriously consider this resolution. I will readily say it is not perfect. It is a result of a lot of work from individuals on both sides of the aisle who considered and put this resolution together. This resolution has a lot of provisions in it. It provides for how much money we are going to spend, how much money we are going to tax, how much money we are going to take in. It is most important that we pass a budget resolution. We have passed budget resolutions every year since the enactment of the Budget Act in 1974, except for last year when we did not get it done.
