section 3(b) of the gentleman's bill adds a new requirement to the congressional budget resolution. It requires the resolution to show receipts, outlays, and surpluses of deficits in the Old Age and Survivors, OASDI Social Security Trust Fund. This is a new requirement, for since 1991, budget resolutions have excluded Social Security. Why does the gentleman now require budget resolutions to show the Social Security surplus when, for a decade, they have been prohibited from showing the Social Security surplus?
