Plain-English Summary

This bill would create a special commission to study the federal government's long-term budget problems and recommend ways to address issues like spending, taxes, and the national debt. The commission would bring together members of Congress and outside experts to develop a plan that Congress could then vote on as a package, making it harder to pick apart individual proposals. The goal is to force a serious conversation about how to balance the budget rather than letting these difficult decisions get delayed year after year.
