(Sec. 604) Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) the President, Congress, and the American people should work together to enact legislation to achieve a solvent and permanently sustainable Social Security system; and (2) Social Security reform must protect current and near retirees from any changes to Social Security benefits, reduce the pressure on future taxpayers and other budgetary priorities, provide benefit levels that adequately reflect individual contributions to the Social Security System, and preserve and strengthen the safety net for vulnerable populations.

(Sec. 605) Expresses the sense of the Senate that the functional totals in this resolution assume that any legislation enacted to provide economic growth for the United States should include at least $30 billion for State fiscal relief over the next 18 months, of which at least half should be provided through a temporary increase in the Federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP).

(Sec. 606) Expresses the sense of the Senate that a commission should be established to review Federal domestic agencies and programs to provide Congress with recommendations to realign or eliminate Government agencies and programs that are duplicative, wasteful, inefficient, outdated, or irrelevant, or have failed to accomplish their intended purpose.

(Sec. 609) Expresses the sense of the Senate that the functional totals in this resolution assume that: (1) expanded access to health care coverage throughout the United States is a top priority for national policymaking; and (2) a significant portion of such expanded health care coverage funds should be dedicated to expanding access to health care coverage so that fewer individuals are uninsured and fewer individuals are likely to become uninsured.

(Sec. 612) Expresses the sense of the Senate that if tax relief measures are enacted in accordance with the assumptions in the budget resolution in this session of Congress, such legislation should include incentives to help rural communities attract individuals to live and work and to start and grow a business in those communities.
