Washington, D.C.— Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today filed an amendment to the debt ceiling package to prevent even further cuts to critical defense spending. Specifically, the amendment would use the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 as the baseline for sequester instead of the 2022 omnibus spending bill. Unless the amendment is adopted, a sequester would slash defense spending while increasing domestic spending, empowering Democrats to demand even more domestic spending to avoid devastating cuts to defense.
