A concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035.

Sets spending targets through 2035 — defense and Medicare up, energy and disaster aid down, $8.7 trillion in deficits.

More about this bill

Nothing in your own budget changes because of this. Congress has agreed on its own spending plan for the next ten years. The plan pays for nothing by itself. Later bills do that. It sets the targets those bills are meant to meet. It assumes no change in tax law at all. Federal revenue is set at $4.2 trillion in 2026, rising to $6.1 trillion by 2035. Spending runs higher every year. Deficits add up to $8.7 trillion over the ten years. Total federal debt climbs from $39 trillion to about $49.9 trillion. Some targets rise sharply. Defense funding jumps 27% in 2027, to about $1.19 trillion a year. Medicare targets rise 62% over the decade. Health and veterans' targets go up too. Other targets fall. The federal energy budget is cut about half in 2027. Parks, forests, and pollution cleanup drop about a third. Community development and disaster aid fall by more than half. Roads, transit, and airports drop about 20%. Interest on the debt grows fastest of all. It reaches $1.68 trillion by 2035, more than defense. The plan also counts about $1 trillion a year in savings it never assigns to any program. The plan opens a fast track for one follow-up bill. Two committees in each chamber were told to write it. Each could add up to $70 billion to the deficit. Their plans were due May 15, 2026. That bill cannot be filibustered in the Senate, so 51 votes are enough. Two Senate rules that normally block deficit increases are switched off for it. Separate sections make budget room for immigration enforcement bills. One covers changes the President made after Operation Metro Surge. Another covers money to detain and deport people convicted of rape, murder, or sexual abuse of a minor. Those bills must not add to the deficit. No committee was told to change Social Security or Medicare benefits. A budget resolution like this one never goes to the President.
