From @GOPLeader McCarthy's offer to GOP holdouts:"House Republicans will adopt an FY24 budget resolution that balances w/in 10 years,includes long-term reforms to budget process and mandatory spending programs,and caps FY24 discretionary spending at enacted FY22 levels or lower"
"We will reject any negotiations with the Senate unless and until they pass appropriations bills of their own—and will reject any Senate-passed appropriations bills that do not comply with the House-passed budget resolution and reduce non-defense discretionary spending"
"We will not agree to a debt limit increase absent a discretionary budgetary agreement in line with the House-passed budget resolution or other commensurate fiscal reforms to reduce and cap the growth of spending"
· Prohibit consideration of any bill that has the net effect of increasing direct spending without greater or equal offsets
· Create a new Floor point of order against unauthorized appropriations in a general appropriations bill in excess of the most recent enacted level.
Restore a Floor point of order against a net increase in budget authority in amendments and against any budget reconciliation directives that increase net-direct spending
· Require a 3/5th supermajority for any tax rate increases and reinstate “dynamic scoring”
Create a new requirement that CBO provide an assessment of any major legislation’s impact on inflation greater than .25% of GDP
· Require all standing committees to vote to adopt an authorization plan detailing all unauthorized programs and agencies within their jurisdiction—and how the committee plans to either authorize or terminate such programs and agencies
Reinstating the Holman Rule – this allows us to target and zero out select accounts. Repealing the Gephardt Rule – which automatically raises the debt limit when the House passes a budget. Restoring “CutGo” in lieu of “PayGo”
