USAID, Energy Star, high speed rail, organic certification and weatherization are among the federal environmental and sustainable business programs that would be eliminated by the House Republicans’ plan to cut government spending by $2.5 trillion over the next 10 years.

Made public Thursday, the Spending Reduction Act of 2011 is proposed by members of the conservative Republican Study Committee, which is chaired by Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan.

“The national debt has grown from $8.6 trillion four years ago to more than $14 trillion today,” said Jordan. “This mountain of debt, nearly the size of our entire economy, threatens to create a whole new financial crisis.”

“Every day we refuse to change course and instill some fiscal responsibility, the problem grows even larger,” Jordan said. “Unless Washington acts soon to cut spending, massive tax hikes, economic stagnation, and national bankruptcy will rob our children of the opportunity to reach for the American Dream.”

The Spending Reduction Act starts by taking current spending back to 2008 levels and repealing $45 billion in unspent funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, President Barack Obama’s $787 billion economic stimulus law.

Under the proposal, at the beginning of the next fiscal year on October 1, 2011, spending would be further reduced to 2006 levels and frozen there for the next decade.

The bill specifically targets over 100 budget items and spending reform, 10 of them environmentally-related.
