Summary
Decrease Spending Now Act - Rescinds $45 billion of unobligated balances of current discretionary appropriations.
Requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to: (1) determine which appropriation accounts the rescission shall apply to and the amount that each such account shall be reduced, and (2) report to the Secretary of the Treasury and Congress a list of the accounts reduced by the rescission, including the amounts rescinded from each such account.
