    Spending Reduction Act of 2011

    January 2011

    The Spending Reduction Act of 2011 reduces federal spending by $2.5 trillion over ten years. The bill
    will specifically hold FY 2011 non-security discretionary spending to FY 08 levels, hold non-defense
    discretionary spending to FY 06 levels thereafter for the rest of the ten-year budget window (the same
    level as in effect during the last year of GOP control of the Congress), and include more than 100 other
    program eliminations or savings proposals, consisting of proposals from the RSC Sunset Caucus,
    YouCut, or past RSC budgets.

     FY 2011 CR Amendment: Replace the spending levels in the FY 2011 continuing resolution
    (CR) with non-defense, non-homeland security, non-veterans spending at FY 2008 levels. The
    legislation will further prohibit any FY 2011 funding from being used to carry out any provision of
    the Democrat government takeover of health care, or to defend the health care law against any
    lawsuit challenging any provision of the act. $80 billion savings.

    $2.29 trillion savings over ten years.
     Federal Workforce Reforms: Eliminate automatic pay increases for civilian federal workers for
