SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``One Percent Spending Reduction Act 
of 2014''.

SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The fiscal crisis faced by the Federal Government 
        demands immediate action.
            (2) The dramatic growth in spending and debt in recent 
        years threatens our economic and national security:
                    (A) Federal spending has grown from 18 percent of 
                GDP in 2001 to over 20 percent of GDP in 2014.
                    (B) Total Federal debt exceeds $17,000,000,000,000 
                and is projected to increase each year over the next 10 
                years.
                    (C) Without action, the Federal Government will 
                continue to run massive deficits in the next decade and 
                total Federal debt will rise to $27,000,000,000,000 by 
                2024.
                    (D) Interest payments on this debt will soon rise 
                to the point where balancing the budget as a matter of 
                policy is beyond the reach of Congress.
            (3) Due to recent tax hikes, Federal revenues are scheduled 
        to rise to approximately 18 percent of GDP, inline with the 
        average of about 18 percent of GDP over the past 40 years.
            (4) Absent reform, the growth of Social Security, Medicare, 
        Medicaid, and other health-related spending will overwhelm all 
        other Federal programs and consume all projected tax revenues.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to address the fiscal 
crisis by--
            (1) acting quickly to balance the Federal budget and 
        eliminate the parade of deficits and ballooning interest 
        payments;
            (2) achieving balance by reducing spending one percent per 
        year until spending equals projected long-term revenues; and
            (3) reforming entitlement programs to ensure long-term 
        fiscal stability and balance.

SEC. 3. ESTABLISHMENT AND ENFORCEMENT OF SPENDING CAPS.

    (a) Outlay Caps.--The Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control 
Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 900 et seq.) is amended by inserting after

            ``(2) Fiscal year 2016.--For fiscal year 2016, the

                18 percent of the gross domestic product for that 
                fiscal year, as estimated by the Office of Management 
                and Budget prior to March of the previous fiscal year.
                    ``(B) Limitation.--Notwithstanding subparagraph 
                (A), for any fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 
                2019, the aggregate projected outlays may not be less 
                than the aggregate projected outlays for the preceding 
                fiscal year.
    ``(b) Sequestration.--
            ``(1) In general.--
                    ``(A) Excess spending.--Not later than 45 calendar 
                days after the beginning of a fiscal year, the Office 
                of Management and Budget shall prepare and the 
                President shall order a sequestration to eliminate any 
                excess outlay amount.
                    ``(B) Definitions.--
                            ``(i) Fiscal years 2015 through 2017.--For

                        purposes of this subsection, the term `excess 
                        outlay amount' means the amount by which total 
                        projected Federal outlays (less net interest 
                        payments) for a fiscal year exceeds the outlay 
                        cap for that fiscal year.
                            ``(ii) Fiscal year 2018 and subsequent 
                        fiscal years.--For fiscal year 2018 and each 
                        fiscal year thereafter and for purposes of this 
                        subsection, the term `excess outlay amount' 
                        means the amount by which total projected 
                        Federal outlays for a fiscal year exceeds the 
                        outlay cap for that fiscal year.
            ``(2) Sequestration.--
                    ``(A) CBO preview report.--On August 15 of each 
                year, the Congressional Budget Office shall issue a

                order detailing uniform spending reductions equal to 
                the excess outlay amount as defined in this section.
                    ``(D) Process.--The reductions shall generally 
                follow the process set forth in sections 253 and 254,

            ``(3) Congressional action.--If the August 20 report by the 
        Office of Management and Budget projects a sequestration, the 
        Committee on the Budget of the Senate and the Committee on the

        directing committees of their House to change the existing law

SEC. 5. EFFECTIVE DATE.

    This Act and the amendments made by this Act shall apply to fiscal 
year 2015 and each fiscal year thereafter, including any reports and 
calculations required for implementation in fiscal year 2015.
One Percent Spending Reduction Act of 2014 - Amends the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act) to establish and enforce new spending caps. Establishes the aggregate outlay cap (less net interest payments) for FY2015 at $3.774 trillion, less 1%. Reduces the outlay cap for FY2016-FY2017 by 1% of the previous fiscal year's outlay cap. Requires the outlay cap for FY2018 and subsequent fiscal years to be 18% of the gross domestic product (GDP) for that fiscal year as estimated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Prohibits outlays from being less than those for the preceding fiscal year for any fiscal year beginning with FY2019. Requires OMB to enforce the spending caps using a sequestration to eliminate any excess spending through automatic cuts. Eliminates most exemptions from sequestration.    Permits the budget committees to report a resolution directing the committees of their respective chambers to change existing law to achieve the spending reductions necessary to meet the outlay limits if a sequestration is projected.   Amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to create procedures for the House and Senate to enforce the outlay caps established in this Act.
