Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.
Targets for 2025–2034 federal budget
If adopted by both chambers, this resolution would set guide numbers for the federal budget from 2025 to 2034. It would list totals for revenues, new budget authority, outlays, deficits, and debt each year. For example, revenues would be $3.859 trillion in FY2025 and $5.860 trillion in FY2034. New budget authority would be $5.524 trillion in FY2025 and $8.043 trillion in FY2034, with outlays at $5.499 trillion in FY2025 and $7.923 trillion in FY2034. It would also set category targets, such as FY2025 new budget authority of about $945.07 billion for Health and $950.891 billion for Medicare. These are planning and enforcement targets; they would not by themselves change your taxes or benefits.
House plan to cut deficits, raise debt limit
If adopted by both chambers, the House would direct committees to send budget changes by February 27, 2025. It would require deficit reductions for 2025–2034, such as at least $5 billion from Agriculture, $246.8 billion from Education and Workforce, $200 billion from Energy and Commerce, $10 billion from Judiciary, and $24.5 billion from Ways and Means. Ways and Means would also be told to submit changes that raise the statutory debt limit by $4 trillion. Some committees could add to the deficit for 2025–2028 within caps, like Armed Services up to $100 billion and Homeland Security up to $50 billion (with $0 allowed for 2029–2034). These are instructions only; they would not change law until Congress passes later bills.
Return spending to pre-COVID levels, protect seniors
If adopted by both chambers, the resolution would state a goal to bring federal spending back to pre-COVID levels. It would say Social Security and Medicare should be protected and debt service covered. It would set a goal for total outlays of $6.057 trillion or less for this fiscal year. This is a policy target and would not cut programs by itself.
