Amendment in the nature of a substitute sought to provide for a balanced budget by FY 2002; did not provide for tax reductions and assumed smaller cuts in mandatory and discretionary spending than the original resolution. It would have provided for $98.4 billion more in domestic discretionary spending over the next six years and $29.9 billion less in defense funding over the same period. It called for $146.4 billion in Medicare cuts and $42 billion in Medicaid cuts, and assumed a reduction in the Consumer Price Index of 0.5 percent.
