CWLA Shares Analysis of Debt Deal

In an effort to break down how the recently enacted debt deal impacts our membership, CWLA has issued a new, detailed analysis of the Budget Control Act (PDF) and the programs and services it could impact. The report includes information on the discretionary spending caps being implemented over the next decade, the impact on the 2012 budget, the entitlement programs that could be threatened by the new Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, the potentially harmful effects of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, and the cuts that will trigger on if Congress fails to come to an agreement on the second round of cuts.
