Congress Keeps Proposing This Fiscal Fix but Never Votes on It
- A Republican bill called the Dollar-for-Dollar Deficit Reduction Act has been introduced in six of the seven Congress sessions since 2013 to tie spending cuts to debt-limit increases.
- The bill has never been brought to a standalone floor vote in Congress since its introduction.
- Senator Rob Portman first introduced the bill in 2013 with 29 cosponsors, including party leaders, but cosponsorship declined in subsequent years to as few as four in 2019.
- The bill's enforcement depends on a procedural point of order, which requires 60 Senate votes or a majority in the House, and it remains stuck in committee awaiting a vote.
