The Mike Lee amendment to H. R. 3746 strikes “....waiver authority for the Administration PAYGO.” The PAYGO system (short for “pay as you go”) requires that mandatory spending increases and tax cuts be mitigated by the raising of taxes or cuts to spending. CPAC supports efforts to force Congress to become more fiscally responsible and supported this amendment. The Senate defeated this amendment on June 1, 2023 by a vote of 48-51.
