3 3 The Calendar is Important Planning Programming Budgeting Execution FY Focus FY FY15-19 FY14 FY13 Impacts LT Debt Deficit Spending Cutbacks, SEQ CR, SEQ X Source: OMB
4 4 Sequestration (SEQ) 101 What is SEQ? Automatic spending cuts. [CRS] Will SEQ impact all sponsors? Yes. Both appropriations (discretionary) and entitlements (mandatory). [BCA 2011] Will SEQ Impact DoDmore than others? Yes. CRS estimates 48% from DoD discretionary, 42% from Non-Defense discretionary, 10% from Mandatory budgets. When will SEQ take effect? ~$917B from budget caps in Phase I; $1.2T Phase II over FY13-21; includes saved net interest costs. [BCA 2011] Does DoDhave a plan for SEQ? Intentionally not. Panetta urges Congress to responsibly reduce the deficit and avoid harmful impacts. [DoD] How long will SEQ impacts last? Reductions are planned through FY21. Cuts are permanent and counted in subsequent years, so initial changes are largest. Jobs. Has SEQ ever happened before? Yes, in Mechanism established in Will SEQ solve the Fiscal Cliff problem? SEQ is just one contribution to reduce debt through deficit reduction. Expiration of tax cuts, cuts in job measures, and new health care taxes will also affect the Deficit landscape. BCA 2011 and Sequestration Fiscal Cliff FY14 Budget Plans Summary Continuing Resolutions
5 5 SEQ is Phase II of Budget Control Act (BCA) 2011 Phase I: Discretionary spending limits, or caps, for each of FY2012-FY2021 Total $917B $497B non-security $420B security $350B from Defense category $330B from DoD Phase II: automatic, across-the-board spending reductions. Budgetary resources are permanently canceled to enforce policy goal of $1.2T additional cuts over FY13-FY21 48% from Defense Discretionary 42% from non-defense Discretionary 10% from Mandatory (CRS Estimates) BCA 2011 and Sequestration Fiscal Cliff FY14 Budget Plans Summary Continuing Resolutions

8 8 CBO s 9 Aug 12 Estimate Really Just Budget Caps If you have seen $54B as the DoD estimate of SEQ, this is the source This is the added reduction in the budget cap CBO estimates SEQ will reduce discretionary authority by $93.8B in FY13 Brings Defense down to $491B budget cap in FY13 BCA 2011 and Sequestration Fiscal Cliff FY14 Budget Plans Summary Continuing Resolutions
9 9 Sequestration (SEQ) Statistics We Care Most About Fiscal Cliff: $16.3T expected outstanding debt EOY FY12 ($14.8T EOY FY11) U.S. GDP ($2005): 2011 = $13.15T ($15.04T nominal) Federal Budget ($2005): 2011 = $3.15T ($3.6T nominal) Avg. annual :+4% from 2006, +4.1% from 2001, +2.6% from 1991 BCA 2011 Limits + SEQ: $900B+$1.2T = 2.1 T = in Debt Limit Sequestration as a % of: The Fiscal (Public Debt) Cliff = $1.2T/$16T = 7.5% The nominal Federal Budget = $110B/3.6T = 3.1% for FY13; 10% for Discretionary Is the $16.3T Outstanding Federal Fiscal Cliff All We Care About?

15 15 Complicating Factor: Continuing Resolution What is a Continuing Resolution? A CR provides interim funding when Congress has not enacted appropriations. From 1998 to 2011, there were 87 CRs passed, 48% handled in seven days or less, and the remainder ranged from 21 to 365 days in duration. [CRS] What is the status of the current CR? Congress passed an informal 6-month CR in July, which would authorize a total of $1.047T expenditures through March The details of the CR will be resolved upon their return 10 Sept How will the CR interact with Sequestration? The CR will allow agencies to operate at FY12 budget levels through its duration. This could mean 14% cuts instead of 8% cuts if SEQ occurs. The CR may also reduce some political risks. [OMB] When will we know the impact of the Sequestration? OMB reports they are unable to detail the impact of cuts in September 2012 because Appropriation Bills have not been passed to use as a basis. However, we can see the functions supported by various appropriations. When might the Appropriations Bills be resolved? If passed, the CR will push appropriations bill resolution to the next Congress. The House has acted on seven bills but the Senate has refused to act.

16 BACK-UP: RELATED SEQUESTRATION LEGISLATION AND OTHER MACRO SLIDES 16
17 17 Sequestration History BCA of 1974 established the CBO, created standing budget committees, increased congressional authority in budget process, decreased President s ability to impound appropriations, oved start of FY from July to Oct. Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA, Title II of P.L ): Known as the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act, sequestration exemptions outlined Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Reaffirmation Act: Relays which organization (OMB, CBO) conducts analysis and reports estimates used for sequestration orders Budget Enforcement Act: Created 5 year caps for discretionary spending, raised taxes, and created "pay-asyou-go" (PAYGO) rules for taxes and certain entitlement programs (additional spending or tax cuts must be offset by increased revenue or decreased spending) Balanced Budget and Taxpayer Relief Act: The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (a spending bill) and the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (a tax bill) legislated the elimination of the annual budget deficit by Bi-partisan and agreement was easy because revenues were high, from tech-boom growth in the economy and marginal tax rate increases in Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act; 2003 Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act: known as Bush Tax Cuts, a response to surpluses that ran from Emergency Economic Stabilization Act: --legislation passed in response to the international credit and subprime mortgage crisis in Established Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) which authorized the U.S. Treasury to spend up to $700 billion to purchase "troubled assets" from institutional investors American Recovery and Reinvestment Act a.k.a. the Stimulus Bill attempted to lift the U.S. economy out of a major recession through federal spending. The estimated cost of the final bill was $787B. Spending included aid to the unemployed, infrastructure projects, health care, education, law enforcement, homeland security, new energy programs, and home- and auto-buyers credit. Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (Statutory PAYGO, Title I of P.L ): partially includes some mandatory spending to be subject ot sequestration (Medicare physician payments, estate and gift tax, AMT, and other middle class tax cuts) and included some spending areas (e.g., emergency spending, debt service) as excluded from Sequestration. Budget Control Act of 2011: alters a few partial and total exemptions. See P.L
