Plain-English summary
Declares that it is the sense of the House of Representatives that: (1) there should be congressional hearings on the impact of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Federal spending, Social Security benefits, taxes, interest rates, business and industry, and the economy; (2) any CPI calculation change should result from bi-partisan study and from the consensus of public and private sector experts, not pressure by politicians; and (3) any CPI calculation change that has the effect of raising taxes must be subject to a three-fifths vote, pursuant to House rules.
