The details

House Budget Committee Chairman Arrington's concurrent resolution sets Congress's fiscal blueprint for 2027 and spending and revenue targets running through 2036. It is a planning document, not a law: a concurrent resolution does not go to the President, spend money, or change tax rules; instead it sets the totals and internal House enforcement rules that later spending and tax bills must fit. For 2027 it targets about $4.48 trillion in federal revenue, roughly $6.08 trillion in spending, and an on-budget deficit near $1.6 trillion, with debt held by the public projected to climb from about $33.9 trillion to $48.5 trillion by 2036. It lays out spending goals for each major area, including national defense (about $955 billion in 2027), health, Medicare, Social Security, and veterans' programs, and it books large "government-wide savings" that assume future spending reductions. The resolution instructs four House committees, Agriculture, Armed Services, Intelligence, and House Administration, to write "reconciliation" legislation by September 11, 2026 that could add up to $95 billion to the deficit over ten years within their areas. It also lets the Budget Committee chair adjust these targets for emergencies, disaster relief, wildfire suppression, and anti-fraud program funding, and to leave emergency-designated spending out of the House's budget-enforcement counts.
