Posts - Bill - HR 991 Cost Estimates Improvement Act
house 02/05/2025 - 119th Congress
We're working to enhance fiscal transparency by proposing that any budget estimates from the Congressional Budget Office or Joint Committee on Taxation include the costs associated with servicing the national debt. This will provide a clearer understanding of the financial implications of legislative proposals.

Counting debt costs is fine, but where's the plan for wealth redistribution to balance the scales?
