Where we Left Off in August: What’s the Conventional Wisdom? For appropriations, a CR until the election, BUT… For BCA, agreeing to postpone the day of reckoning, BUT… For expiring tax provisions, a bruising fight, possibly informed by the election. For authorizations, probably nothing, BUT...

Six-Month Continuing Resolution Through March 27, 2013 FY % for most discretionary programs (not highways) Mandatory programs: current-law level Extends SNAP, TANF, related programs Additional funds for a few programs

The BCA and the Sequester Absent a legislated alternative, a sequester will occur on January 2, 2013 Many mandatory and a few discretionary programs are exempt – OMB report sheds light on its interpretations OMB estimates of ATB cuts: 8.2% (nondefense discretionary), 7.6% (nondefense mandatory), 9.4% (defense discretionary) ATB reduction applied to FY 2013 funding in effect on January 2, 2013 (CR level)
