Summary of Bill S 5485

Bill 118 s 5485, also known as the "Across-the-Board Rescissions of Nonsecurity Discretionary Spending Act," is a proposed piece of legislation in the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to reduce nonsecurity discretionary spending by 2 percent across the board.

Nonsecurity discretionary spending refers to government expenditures that are not related to national security, such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure. By implementing a 2 percent cut in these areas, the bill aims to reduce overall government spending and potentially lower the national debt.

If passed, this bill would require all government agencies and departments to make cuts in their nonsecurity discretionary spending. This could impact a wide range of programs and services that rely on government funding. Supporters of the bill argue that reducing government spending is necessary to address the growing national debt and ensure fiscal responsibility. However, critics are concerned that across-the-board cuts could disproportionately impact certain programs and services that are vital to the well-being of American citizens. Overall, Bill 118 s 5485 is a significant piece of legislation that could have far-reaching implications for government spending and the services it provides to the American people. It is currently being debated in Congress, and its fate remains uncertain.
