by passing legislation focused on government deregulation
that will decrease new spending arising from such regulations

order to prevent massive tax increases on working families
and small businesses, and to align treatment of tax policy

revenue, by the amounts provided in such legislation for
those purposes, provided that such legislation would not
increase the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal
years 2025 through 2034.

TITLE V--POLICY STATEMENTS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

SEC. 5001. POLICY STATEMENT ON ECONOMIC GROWTH.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) The rate of economic growth has a significant impact on
budget deficits. When the rate of gross domestic product
(GDP) increases, projected revenue grows with it and deficits
decline. Conversely, slower GDP growth can lead to lagging
revenues and mounting deficits.
(2) Federal policies affect the economy's potential to grow
and impact economic performance, influencing budgetary
outcomes. Consequently, fiscally responsible policies that
improve the economy's long-term growth prospects help reduce
the size of budget deficits over a given period.
(3) The free market, where individuals pursue their own
self-interests, has been responsible for greater advancements
in quality of life and generation of wealth than any other
form of economic system. Federal policies designed to grow
the economy should thus allow market forces to operate
unhindered rather than pick ``winners'' and ``losers''.
(b) Policy on Economic Growth.--In the House of
Representatives, it is the policy of this concurrent
resolution to pursue policies that embrace the free market
and promote economic growth policies that--
(1) reduce Federal spending;
(2) expand American energy production;
(3) lower taxes that discourage work, savings, and
investment;
(4) deregulate the economy and enact reforms to diminish
bureaucratic red tape; and
(5) eliminate barriers to work so more Americans enter (or
reenter) the job market.

SEC. 5002. POLICY STATEMENT ON MANDATORY SPENDING REDUCTION.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) The United States faces a significant debt crisis, with
the national debt currently exceeding $36 trillion, or 123
percent of GDP.
(2) Since 2019, mandatory spending has increased by 59
percent.
(3) This debt poses a significant risk to the country's
long-term fiscal sustainability, with implications for future
generations.
(4) Mandatory spending currently accounts for over 70
percent of the entire Federal budget.
(5) The deficit for fiscal year 2025 is projected to be
$1.9 trillion, or 6.2 percent of GDP.
(6) This fiscal year, net interest will total $952 billion,
or 3.2 percent of GDP.
(b) Policy on Mandatory Spending Reduction.--In the House
of Representatives, the goal of this concurrent resolution is
to reduce mandatory spending by $2 trillion over the budget
window. If the combined deficit reduction provided by
authorizing committees is below this target, it is the policy
of the Committee on the Budget of the House that the
instruction provided to the Committee on Ways and Means of
the House should be reduced by a commensurate amount to
offset the difference.

SEC. 5003. POLICY STATEMENT ON GOVERNMENT DEREGULATION.

(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:

[[Page S2257]]

(1) Regulations throughout the Federal Government have been
a major issue for decades, continuously growing while
negatively impacting the nation's economic and fiscal
standing.
(2) Overregulation has consistently hurt small businesses,
strangled domestic energy production, weakened labor market
conditions, and expanded government overreach and costs on
taxpayers.
(3) Real (inflation-adjusted) spending on regulatory
agencies has increased exponentially since 1960. The total
number of pages in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) has
increased from 22,877 pages in 1960 to nearly 200,000 today.
When compared to 1950, the CFR contained only 9,745 pages in
1950, making the size of the CFR today 95% larger than it was
in 1950.
(b) Policy Statement on Government Deregulation.--In this
House of Representatives, it is the policy of this concurrent
resolution--
(1) that Congress continues to examine ways to relieve the
burdens of overregulation throughout the Federal Government;
(2) that Congress is ready to promote initiatives that will
reduce government bureaucracy, enhance Federalism, and
increase economic prosperity through deregulation;
(3) to not only reduce burdensome, costly regulations, but
to also reassert the role of Congress; and
(4) to enact legislation through reconciliation that
strengthens Congress, scales back Federal regulations, limits
future bureaucratic red tape, and unleashes economic growth,
such as the Regulations from the Executive in Need of
Scrutiny (REINS) Act.
