The resolution, which will also need to pass the Senate to move forward, lays out instructions to various House committees to come up with specific tax and spending cuts.
The instructions allow for the extension of expiring tax cuts and increased spending on border security. At least $1.5 trillion in spending cuts would help pay for some of it, but the plan would most likely add trillions to deficits over the next decade.
