Debt-to-GDP Transparency and Stabilization Act

Sponsored By: Representative Smucker

Introduced

Summary

Adds two GDP-based ratios — the public debt-to-GDP ratio and the surplus-or-deficit-to-GDP ratio — to the items required in the President's annual budget and in any concurrent budget resolution. This bill would amend current budget law to require those two ratios in the President's budget submission and in the congressional concurrent budget resolution using precise statutory wording, and it does not alter other existing budget provisions beyond these inclusions.
