     SEC. ___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND FOR REDUCING INCOME 
                   THRESHOLD FOR REFUNDABLE CHILD TAX CREDIT TO

     tax credit under section 24 of the Internal Revenue Code of 
     1986 to $10,000 for taxable years 2009 and 2010 with no 
     inflation adjustment, provided that such legislation would 
     not increase the deficit over either the period of the total 
     of fiscal years 2008 through 2013 or the period of the total 
     of fiscal years 2008 through 2018.
