Bill overview
This bill changes how the President’s budget is presented to Congress. It requires the President to include an estimate of how much each taxpayer would pay for the federal deficit and the national debt in their annual budget submission. Specifically, the estimate will be calculated based on individual income tax filers for the relevant fiscal year. This aims to provide a clearer understanding of the financial burden of government debt on American taxpayers.
