It is the sense of the Senate that— the fiscal challenges of the Nation are a top priority for Congress, and sequestration—nonstrategic, across-the-board budget cuts—remains an unreasonable and inadequate budgeting tool to address the deficits and debt of the United States; sequestration relief must be accomplished for fiscal years 2018 through 2021, the remaining years of the discretionary spending caps under the Budget Control Act of 2011; sequestration relief should include both defense and nondefense relief; and sequestration relief should be offset through targeted changes in mandatory and discretionary spending and revenues.
