Plain-English Summary
This bill would likely require the federal government to balance its budget, meaning it cannot spend more money than it takes in through taxes and other revenue. The measure would affect how Congress allocates money for programs like Social Security, Medicare, defense, and infrastructure, potentially requiring cuts to some services or increases in taxes to avoid deficits. It would constrain lawmakers' ability to borrow money to fund government operations, which could significantly impact both government workers and the public services Americans rely on.
