about budgeting? >> well, i will say kudos to chairman price because he spent a year developing detailed budget processed reforms, which he's put out there and he was talking through his plan. i think in that very same speech and there's some really good ideas there and they're about changing the b kinds of budget rules so that we can do more budgets. so that the budget's more likely to get done and move through congress. so, i -- a member of the administration, he'll say we have more power. o with the house, and it's very different to talk about defense. we're seeing this right now in repealing and replacing obama care, it's really easy to message it and say we got to get rid of this, but now that they own kind of the government decisions, and you have to figure out what you're going to do to control health care costs, to not blow up the budget and maintain coverage in whatever form they decide is their goal, it's a lot harder. and so, i think the question is, less will there be more power, a power p

they are about changing the budget rules so we can do more budgeting so that the budget is more likelyo get done and moved through congress. so i actually don't think that just because he will be a member of the administration, he will say the executives should have more power. what i think we will see is you now have republicans with the house, senate, and white house. it is very different to talk about defense. we are seeing it right now in repealing and replacing obamacare. it is easy to message. in saying, "we've got to get rid of this." but now that they actually own the government decisions and you have to figure out what you are going to do to control health care costs, not blow up the budget, and maintain coverage in whatever form they decide, it is a lot harder. i think the question is less, will there be more power for the executive? my sense is that congress will still be doing much of the detailed work. but it will be, how are they going to reconcile what the republicans have always talked about the debt and wanting to balance the budget in nine years -- that has been their

budget. i'm going to try to keep my opening remarks brief since we have a pair of senators before us for going to give some introductory remarks of their own concerning their nominee. president trump indicated his intent to nominate representative of any for this position a little over a month ago. i think we would like to see a confirmed director in place as soon as possible. so i am happy to note that the other committee jurisdiction over omb d Ãwe need an omb director in place with so many causing budgetary issues requiring the attention of the new administration and most among these foremost is a $20 trillion debt burden american shoulders. congress needs an omb director who can Ãwe can work with to put the nation on a responsible fiscal path. that's why am pleased that he nominated fiscal conservative for this key post. the representative has been vigilant and budget Ãand six years in congress including his tenure on the house budget and oversight committee. he has been a vocal contribut

it's a budget. and we have special rules for dealing with the budget that allow us to repeal obamacare, which i'm all for, but this is a budget. and they say well, how could we get the votes? no democrats will vote for this budget. this is a republican blueprint. not one democrat will vote for this. so this is what republicans are for. this is the blueprint that the republican party says they're for. $10 trillion worth of new debt. i'm not for it. that's not why i ran for office. it's not why i'm here. it's not why i spend time away from my family, from my medical practice. it's because debt is consuming our country. there is a time and a place to debate obamacare, and i'm more than willing to debate that, but this is a budget. this is a vote on a budget. they say oh, it's just a gimmick, it's just a game. the numbers don't mean anything. well, if the numbers don't mean anything, put honest numbers in there or put conservative numbers in there. i for one will put forward a conservative opposition to

first we hear from congressional budget office director kenneth hollande the annual budget forecast. >> good morning, welcome to the congressional budget office. we are director of the congressional budget office and morning. >> deputy director. >> welcome to cbo. we released our latest budget economic outlook covering years 2017-2027 and in the next few minutes we will be discussing a few highlights of economic projections which we released and after brief remarks my colleagues and i will be happy to take your questions. economic forecast underlies cbo budget projections indicating real inflation-adjusted terms of the gross domestic product expand average pace of 2.1% over the next two years. of current laws remain unchanged, after writing last year at an annual rate of 1.8%, expect growth to boost employment, eliminate slack in the economy and drop the unemployment rate to 4.4% by the fourth quarter of 2018. further ahead according to cbo projections gdp will expand at an average annual rate of 1.9% over the second half of the coming decade. the growth rate represents a significant

the price ryan budget. cut social security by $184 billion more and cut medicaid and other health programs by $255 billion more than the budget proposed by chairman price and speaker ryan. moreover and this is also interesting, in may of 2009, when congressman mulvaney was a member of the south carolina state senate he voted for an amendment declaring social security, medicaid and u.s. department of education, unconstitutional. and let me read the text of that amendment. quote, where as many federal mandates such as those which created u.s. department of medicaid are directly if violation of the 10th amendment to the united states constitution. that amendment in the south carolina senate was defeated by a vote of 35-6. mr. mulvaney was one of the 6. in my view, the opinions and mu out of touch of where the american people want and more importantly they are way, way out of touch with what president trump campaigned on. and while we can also disagree on many issues, i would hope we can agree that if somebody

office and the board's budget analyst and of course, it is budget to change and it is a forecast after all. and so what could significantly change these projections? and we have highlighted some of tho s key risks on this slide. sxh i will say just generally speaking from my perspective while the shortfall for the coming two year period is only modestly higher than at this time last year, the number of risks seems to be growing and it seems verses the moment that we were here last year before this committee, there are more dark clouds looking ahead then there were at this time last year, as we talked about the single largest being possible actions from the federal government. reductions are coming in particular for the county functions and here in california and around the country. we will keep you updated as we roll into the calendar year as we know about it, and no assumption here. changes in the economy are important to what ch and we don't feel like the recession risk is low at this point, given twha is going on with the u.s. over all economy. which seems to be increasingly stable

a budget that adds $9.7 trillion to the debt and they tell us it's not a budget. they will say it is a vehicle to repeal the obamacare. yet i have the title in front of me that says the resolution for the budget of 2017 and we may be able to repeal obamacare but why should we vote on a budget that doesn't represent the conservative views, why would we vote on a budget but has $9.7 trillion to the debt i was told again and again, take it, they are just numbers.get. don't worry if the. the national debt went from 5 trillion to 10 trillion. the debt doubled under the c republican president and partially republican congress didn't yet the words were he had the democrats to deal with and if you could ever take all three branches of government things would be different. they said if we only control the senate, we could be a conservative party again. the conservative party won. republicans control the house, the senate and the presidency and the first item of this is for the republicans will be to pass the budget but never balances. a budget that would add $9.7 trillion

we're going to get to the f.y. 201 budget, a budget that balances -- 2018 budget, a budget that balances arc budget that puts us on a path of fiscal -- balances, a budget that puts us on a path of fiscal sustainability, but this resolution fires the starting pistol, mr. speaker, for repeal of obamacare, which has failed the american people. we will be addressing the spending levels for the future and the f.y. 2018 budget. this is something the american people have demanded and now republicans are going to deliver on it. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman from ohio yields back his time. the gentlewoman from tennessee reserves. the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. mr. yarmuth: thank you, mr. chairman. i'll remind my colleague that his vote today to repeal the affordable care act will result in 664,000 people from his state of ohio losing their health care coverage, 126,000 workers losing their jobs and an economic loss of $69.5 billion in gross state product for the state of ohio. and ohio's republican governor is begging us not to repeal the affordable care act. mr. chairman, i

if the president chooses not to submit a budget, there is probably something budget committees will want us to do to help them in their work going forward. but it all depends on our budget committees. but typically, would they want a baseline in march? dir. hall: typically, they would want a baseline in march. whenever we have a new president, the president's budget is typically later than normal. so we spent if there is a budget submitted, we would be doing it. but it may be later into march. we will see. >> there has been talk trying to extend the maturity of the treasury department's outstanding debt as one way to lock in low-interest rates. what kind of savings are possible there, and what it -- are theree potential offsetting effects for making change in the policy? dir. hall: let me, if i can, bounce that to one of these folks over here. >> well, i suppose there would be savings. i do not think the savings would be significant over a 10 year window to change the deficit that much. it all depends on how the u.s. government shakes out as well, so if the treasury does try to lock in l

the congressional budget office andased the annual budget economic outlook report. they answered questions about spending, health-care premiums and the workforce. this is about and i were but we will show you as much as we can until president arrives for his speech. -- this is about half an hour but we will show you as much as we can until the president arrives for his speech. >> good morning. welcome to the congressional budget office. my name is keith hall, i'm the director. hadley and i mark am the deputy director. dir. hall: this morning we just released our outlook. in the next few minutes we will be discussing a few highlights of the updated economic projections, which we released and after my brief remarks, my colleagues and i will be happy to take your questions. the economic forecast that underlies the budget projections indicates that in real inflation-adjusted terms, grossed a mystic product will expand at an average pace of 2.1% over the next two years. if current laws remain unchanged after rising last year at a rate of 1.8%. the expected growth to boos

they're calling it a budget in isn't a budget. it's a paper trail of crimes our government commits against the future of our vee. we need to be honest. we're sitting on $20 trillion in debt. aside from repealing the affordable care act, this does nothing to address that. luckily i'll vote for it to repeal the monstrosity that is the affordable care act. we're told we need to pass the bill so we can find out what was in it. well, we found out what was in it. we saw premiums skyrocket. we saw families lose their plans, and doctors, even the ones they liked and they wanted to keep. we saw businesses struggle. we need to pass this resolution to get rid of what we found. liberty and self-determination are the lifeblood of this nation, and the nation is terminally ill. our debt is a cancer that continues to grow, and like a cancer it doesn't discriminate. it's colorblind. its gender-neutral. it doesn't care about your political affiliation or what states you're from. it's here and it continues to grow. our children are being incurvered,

there's no budget. you know, so it's really the partisan back and forth sometimes is hard, especially around the subject of who is failing when it comes to regular order on appropriations and doing budget bills. because from where i stand, democrats have been guilty, but so have republicans. i don't know how we get that fixed, congressman. let me talk to you about something that i think is pretty important, and that is the hiring freeze as it relates to contractors. do you have any idea what percentage of the workforce is contractors as you go into this job? >> i do not know, ma'am. >> well, i'll tell you. it is way more than you think it is. the department of energy, for example, is primarily contractors. there aren't that many ftes. and the thing that is so frustrating to me is that people who lead this government sometimes think that -- frankly, during the bush administration, they actually did a pretty good job of limiting the growth of ftes in the federal government. but guess what happened? they b

>> what the budget committees want us to do if the president submits a budget they want us to do our analysis. if the president chooses not to set up a budget and there's something they won't want us to do to help them in the work going forward, but it all depends on the budget committees. >> but typically what they want is a baseline in march? >> whenever we have a new president, the budget typically is later than normal, so we would expect if there is a budget expected we would be doing it but maybe later than march. we will see. >> they are trying to extend as one way to walk in the low interest rates. what savings are possible and will there be -- are there offsets to making the change in the policy? >> but me balance back to one of the folks over here. >> i suppose that there would be savings. i don't think it would be significant and a ten year window to change the deficit that much. it all depends on how it shakes out. if the treasury does try to walk in the rates [inaudible] >> would've been leswould it ben the consensus for the last seven years that we projected five or ten

we have taken the identical language from the underlying budget, put it into the replacement budget, but we've done something different. instead of allowing spending to continue to grow unabated, instead of allowing spending to grow at such a rate that we will add $9.7 trillion to the debt, we do something novel, something that i consider to be the conservative vision for our country. we actually freeze spending. we just say no more spending. interestingly, the budget will balance, the country's budget would actually balance and we wouldn't add $9.7 trillion if we simply freeze spending. now, i think there's something in my version of a budget for both republicans and democrats because mine calls for a freeze in spending, but would allow the different appropriation committees to decide where the spending would be cut. so, for example, if you decided that we needed more military spending but you thought maybe we could spend less on corporate welfare, you might cut out the department of commerce. you might not know if once we did it. you might not know that the department of commerce r

for a two-year budget cycle. as it turns out, we're not on what is called a fixed 2-year budget as a department, unlike some departments are and the city apparently. so our office like many are required to submit a budget for the coming fiscal year and fy'18 and 19 together, which in a mind is not a bad thing with a year of experience at staff-level to reflect on what our continuing resource needs are, and where we best need to apply additional resources in the coming year to continue to try and meet the goals that the commission established last year. the areas that were intended to guide our work. we have talked about organizational efficiencies and more effective enforcement program and supporting compliance with stronger information for those who are required to comply with our laws. and a strengthened policy direction. when he look back at the year we establish a number of key pieces for that blueprint to be furthered development. as this document reflects where we still have work to do and those are the rec

the mayor consolidates all those budgets into one bounce budget for charter requirements. in these rebounds and presented to the board by june 1. then in june we have our departmental hearings at the board of supervisors the budget is considered at the board in july. kind of outlining some of our departmental priorities that these are things that we just in general but also is highlighted this year in the process. we want to ensure sufficient staffing and resource levels. the chief had mentioned the call volume that that's a large challenge to us increasing call volume. so making sure we are properly resourced from a personal and nonpersonal standpoint. that is crucial given the importance public safety function that we provide. in addition, we want to be able to ensure we support the academies in the probationary members we have for the division of training both in the academy instruction but also in the follow-up to ensure probationary firefighters are adapting to the new roles in the department and we are providing efficient sufficient and education for those number sup

that is what we fight over in terms of the budget. a little over a trillion out of our 300, 854 billion budget. this has to be brought under control if we are ever going to restrain the growth and debt so we can achieve the type of prosparity -- prosperity we need. the components, and everybody has these charts in front of them in terms of a piece of paper. i have together piece of papers in front of the senators, i think in front of you congressman mulvaney, i call this the income state in the united states. this is over the same 30-yeared period demonstrating the component of that $103 trillion deficit 34 trillion in medicare, and the rest 55 trillion is interest on the debt. if we don't want to pay over the next 30 years, 50 trillion dollars to our creditors we have to address the unsustainable issue in social security and in particularly medicare. those are the facts. the realities. that is the reality that collectively in the federal government we have been denying but at some point in time there will be a point of reckoning. the

but unlike hard-working families in this country congress is not required to pass a budget balanced budget. my home state of montana our legislature is meeting, i did not serve in that after 28 years in the private sector. i had to produce a budget, not only balanced but revenues need to exceed expenses. but in my state of montana the constitution required the state balance its budget. year after year in washington dc we leverage the future of our children and james at future, your triplets future with an unsustainable fiscal path and there will be a day the paper is going to have to be paid. the third congress in a row i introduced a simple -- simply states this. if members of congress can't pass a balanced budget they shouldn't get paid. put the pain back on members of congress. that is the way it works in business, the way it works in the real world. it to work that way up here. we spoke about my bill in this committee. you support my bill? >> i do, senator, thank you for the question but i want to make one thing clear. i will no longer be a voting member of the legislature so i would c

kindly are we in the first part of budget cycle or a two-year budget into 2016-2017. >> until we moveo a fixed budget we're reevaluating the first year they approved the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 as part of that second year was 2017-2018 foe our first year we're looking at 2017-2018 and 18, 19 excuse me - the board approved the 2017-2018 year we currently have a budget that was adapted this process a number of modifications that process undergoes. >> okay. so we're ending our second year process but that was theoretically approved from the two-year budget and starting the second too year. >> a rolling two year cycle you go through the entire process that continues annually. >> when i see a projection opposed 3 percent and 6 and $1.7.06 percent 3.3 mr. corso has subject 3 percent is it not a 3 persecute. >> it is a 3 percent cut to the general fund support so we have a budget of $375 million that are poorlgsz that are paid for by the port and in addition a number of revenue portions that offset the costs the net impact of the general fund is paying for us set at 200 and 50 off the top of

i tell folks, the budget hawks -- you can be a budget hawk and a defense hawk. it is necessary for legislators on both sides to be both come to stand by our military to make sure we rebuild the military and have the capability necessary to meet the threats around the world and at the same time manage the budget in a responsible way to get to the balance and begin to address our deficit and the debt. recently reported that there is a gap in the middle east for the carrier. home tone come norfolk. what is your response to that? does this reflect challenges in readiness, which i know you are involved in? what do we do about something like that moving forward? rep. wittman: well we need presence in the world to have the presence with only 10 carriers. when the gerald ford comes online, we will be up to 11. it also begs the question, is 11 enough? a lot of folks think that 11 carriers is enough but it takes 11 to have a presence at any one time of four or five depending on the situation. i think we need to go to 12 to make sure we have the presence. again, that takes

this is not that budget today, mr. speaker. this is a budget, as you know, to move us forward on a reconciliation process to finish up the f.y. 2017 budget process, and rather than considering all the amendments that one might have to offer, we've made in order just one. it's the democratic substitute. it's offered by my good friend, the ranking member on the budget committee, mr. yarmuth, and it's absolutely worthy of the membership's consideration. ut it is not going to be a vote-a-rama. it will be one substitute from the ranking member. when it comes to consideration of the measure to waive a statutory prohibition on naming a civilian secretary of defense, mr. speaker, who has been out of the military for less than seven years, we're also offering that under a closed rule today. no amendments are going to be made in order. you may not know, mr. speaker, but that is the only statutory change that has passed the united states senate in 2017. when we talk about having to move expeditiously, when we talk about whether or not we'

welcome today to the state of the states budgeting. i'm the incoming director of the urban-brookings policy center and will be replacing wayne berman next week but the policy center is already putting me to work.

when he talks about the budget and he talks about problems with the budget, we need to understand that an awful lot of money that we spend our on things like medicare and social security and defense. they are not amenable to the kind of things he is talking about. host: he is making history as the first president who has never held elective office, and never run a military organization or government entity. guest: yes. when you look back, it's not that he is the first one ever to come into government who has that kind of experience. when you look at governors, for example, governor warner in virginia came in with a business background. ,overnor daniels in indiana mayor bloomberg in new york. they were all successful in what they did. you are right that we haven't had a lot of presidents who have that kind of profile. in fact, if we look back over history, i think the two presidents in the 20th century who were the closest analogs, they came in with mostly business act as opposed to some other backgrounds were warren harding and herbert hoover. these are not two of our most successful p
