                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the Congress that non-defense, non-security, 
  non-veterans discretionary spending should be reduced by 20 percent.

Whereas total Government spending in fiscal year 2010 exceeded $3.5 trillion;
Whereas the 111th Congress failed to adopt a budget resolution;
Whereas the Congressional Budget Office estimates that total Federal spending in 
        fiscal year 2011 will reach $3.71 trillion;
Whereas the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the fiscal year 2011 
        budget deficit will exceed $1.47 trillion;
Whereas the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the fiscal year 2012 
        budget deficit will reach $1.1 trillion;
Whereas, since fiscal year 2008, non-defense discretionary spending has 
        increased by 84 percent; and
Whereas the Federal debt is expected to exceed $14.3 trillion in April 2011: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) non-defense, non-security, non-veterans discretionary 
        spending by the Government in fiscal year 2011 should be 
        reduced by 20 percent from fiscal year 2010 spending levels; 
        and
            (2) if the percentage reduction specified in paragraph (1) 
        is not achieved, rates of basic pay for individuals serving in 
        the executive and legislative branches of the Government, 
        respectively, should be reduced by 15 percent, beginning in 
        fiscal year 2012.
