On March 20, 2012, Senate Democrats set discretionary spending limits for fiscal year 2013 and budget enforcement levels for the Senate through 2022. The “deeming” resolution filed today by Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-ND) adheres to the reduced discretionary spending levels established in last summer’s Budget Control Act. His action allows Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Daniel K. Inouye (D-HI) to proceed with drafting spending bills for fiscal year 2013, and ensures the Senate will have the tools to enforce those limits when the bills are considered.
