Summary
Sets forth the congressional budget for the Federal Government for FY 2006, including the appropriate budgetary levels for FY 2005 and 2007 through 2010. Lists recommended budgetary levels and amounts, for FY 2005 through 2010, with respect to: (1) Federal revenues; (2) new budget authority; (3) budget outlays; (4) deficits (on-budget); (5) debt subject to limit; and (6) debt held by the public. Lists the appropriate levels of new budget authority and outlays for specified major functional categories for FY 2005 through 2010. Sets forth reconciliation instructions for the Committees on: (1) Agriculture; (2) Education and the Workforce; (3) Energy and Commerce; (4) Financial Services; (5) the Judiciary; (6) Resources; (7) Transportation and Infrastructure; (8) Veterans' Affairs; and (9) Ways and Means. Requires the Committee on Ways and Means to report a reconciliation bill providing for revenue reduction. Provides for contingency procedures for surface transportation. States that if legislation is reported that makes supplemental appropriations for FY 2005 or 2006 for contingency operations related to the global war on terrorism, or for any emergency requirements, then the resulting new budget authority, new entitlement authority, outlays, and receipts shall not count for certain purposes of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (CBA) for the provisions of such measure that are designated as making appropriations for such contingency operations. Authorizes the House Committee on Appropriations to make a separate suballocation for general appropriations for the legislative branch for the first fiscal year of this resolution. Deems such allocation to be made under CBA and to be treated as such for all purposes under it. Declares the sense of Congress that concurrent resolutions on the budget for FY 2007 through 2010 should include reconciliation instructions to committees biennially to achieve significant savings in mandatory spending.

- amends ← Amendment numbered two printed in House Report 109-19 to increase $15.8 billion in FY06 new BA and outlays for veterans, education, health care needs, homeland security, the environment and infrastructure. Reduces the FY06 tax benefits for those earning more than $1 million, increasing revenues by $25.818 billion.
- amends ← An amendment in the nature of a substitute numbered 4 printed in House Report 109-19 to balance the budget by 2012; reverse mandatory cuts likely to fall on Medicaid, veterans, student loans, and other services; provide increased funding for important domestic priorities, such as education, veterans, community and regional development, and the environment; and impose a pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) rule, which protects the Social Security Trust Fund surplus by requiring that any mandatory spending increases or tax cuts be fully offset.
- amends ← An amendment numbered 2 printed in House Report 109-19 to replace the current 19 functional categories with four functions: Defense, Homeland Security, Non-Defense Discretionary and Mandatory Spending, and Interest. Accepts the Iraq Operations Reserve Fund and creates a new `rainy day' fund for non-military emergencies. Discretionary Spending: Defense: Accepts the President's and Budget Committee's levels that provide for a 4.4% increase over last year. Homeland Security: Accepts the President's and Budget Committee's levels that provide for a 3.6% increase over last year. Non-Security Discretionary: Reduces spending by 2% compared to last year's level (the Budget Committee calls for a .7% reduction), which is over $5.1 billion more in first-year savings than the Committee's bill. Mandatory Spending: Includes reconciliation instructions reducing the rate of growth of mandatory spending from 6.4% to 6.1% (while making no changes to Social Security), which is over $58 billion more in savings than the Budget Committee's levels and a total of $125 billion in savings over five years. The Committees would be permitted to apply the savings unevenly across mandatory programs with particular emphasis on exempting earned entitlement programs. Taxes: Assumes the Committee's number for tax relief over the next five years, whil. reconciling the entire amount (the Committee reconciles $45 billion of the $107 billion allotted over five years). Budget Enforcement: Creates a point of order against consideration of a rule or order reported by the Rules Committee waiving sections 302(f) or 303(a) (other than paragraph 2) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. This point of order can only be waived
- amends ← An amendment numbered 3 printed in House Report 109-19 to raise revenue by rescinding the tax cuts from 2001 and 2003 for the top two tax brackets, eliminating corporate tax incentives for off-shoring jobs, closing tax loopholes, abusive shelters, and methods of tax avoidance, and eliminating the repeal of the limitation on itemized deductions and the phase-out of personal exemptions (PEP) scheduled to take place between 2006 and 2010. These funds total an estimated $36.3 billion in FY 2006. Uses nearly $4 billion of these additional revenues for deficit reduction. The remaining funds are used to restore cuts and fund increases in specific budget function areas. These include full funding for No Child Left Behind and providing funds for school construction and increases for other education and job training programs. Allocates additional funding or job creation programs under SBA, community and regional development programs, and law enforcement initiatives such as juvenile justice and prisoner reentry programs. Provides funding for child nutrition programs, Community Health Centers, aeronautics and science research and development,.
