The Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, sometimes referred to as the “Budget Super Committee,” is made up of a bipartisan representation of Members of both the House of Representatives and Senate. The 12-member panel is responsible for finding ways to trim the deficit by at least $1.2 trillion over a decade.
Because the debt limit law already established discretionary spending caps designed to save almost $1 trillion through 2021, the panel is expected to focus on finding additional deficit reductions through savings in entitlement programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, and through tax changes.
