Congress Keeps Proposing This Fiscal Fix but Never Votes on It
- A Republican bill called the Dollar-for-Dollar Deficit Reduction Act has been introduced in six of the seven Congresses since 2013 to require spending cuts equal to any increase in the debt limit.
- The bill has never reached a vote as standalone legislation; it is referred to committee and then not advanced to a vote.
- The bill's enforcement is based on a point of order that can be waived in the Senate with 60 votes and in the House by a majority.
- The main idea of the bill is that any increase in the debt limit must be matched by an equal cut in projected spending.
