Abstract:

As it currently stands, the House budget resolution proposes to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire, which could cause the average taxpayer to face an additional $3,029 in taxes; could damage employment growth, causing about one million fewer jobs to be created; and has the potential to damage economic output by over $100 billion.
