One of the most contentious issues in budget procedure in recent years has involved proposed changes in the Senate’s “pay-as-you-go” (PAYGO) rule and efforts to establish a similar rule in the House. This controversy led to an impasse between the House and Senate over the FY2005 budget resolution and surfaced again during consideration of the FY2006 budget resolution. The issue focuses principally on whether tax-cut legislation, even though it may worsen the deficit, should be exempted from a deficit-neutral PAYGO requirement.
