14 Deficit Control Act of 2011 Debt Deal $900 billion in discretionary spending cuts over the next ten years in order to increase debt limit for the next few months (split between security and non-security spending) Super Committee - Joint, bipartisan committee charged with identifying and proposing a $1.2 trillion package of savings aimed at reducing the national deficit Congress was unable to reach consensus and vote yes or 'no' to determine a savings package Since no action or partial cuts are made, significant across the board cuts, sequestration will be triggered in 2013 Health center and public health discretionary funding are vulnerable to potentially severe cuts and reductions 14
