It is the policy of this concurrent resolution that the House should— adopt an annual budget resolution before spending and tax legislation is considered in either House of Congress; assess measures for timely compliance with budget rules in the House; pass legislation to strengthen enforcement of the budget resolution; comply with the discretionary spending limits set forth in the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985; prevent the use of accounting gimmicks to offset higher spending; modify scoring conventions to encourage the commercialization of Federal Government activities that can best be provided by the private sector; and discourage the use of savings identified in the budget resolution as offsets for spending or tax legislation.
