  Generally, spending for every program goes up every year. "Cuts" as typically talked about in the press are reductions in the already planned increases. Very few things are ever cut in real terms, and usually only in reaction to some significant embarrassment (e.g. Alternative energy research funding with Solyndra). Nobody cares enough about EnergyStar to cut it, so I doubt it will be cut. It made it through the last time Congress was under Republican control totally unmolested, so I really doubt anybody is going to bother with it now.
