(269-161)
A bill that allowed a debt increase of up to $2.5 trillion with no spending reductions required in Fiscal Year 2012. The bill also set up a "supercommittee" of twelve members of Congress who were to meet in secret to negotiate a deficit reduction of $1.2 trillion over 10 years. The bill also requires a "sequestration" or automatic reduction of $1.2 trillion in spending over 10 years if no other agreement is reached by 2013.

2011-12-16 Catch-All Appropriations [HR2055] Agreed To
(296-121)
A year-end appropriations bill, known as the Omnibus bill that funded $915 billion dollars in one 2,300 page bill for Fiscal Year 2012 The bill avoided limits imposed in the debt-limit negotiations by labeling additional spending as "emergency" spending so the total spending for the year is an increase over Fiscal Year 2011. ACU opposes these massive bills that are written in secret and passed with no amendments allowed.
