## Summary

**Establishes multi-year budgetary targets** for 2025–2034 that fix revenue, spending, deficits, and major-function funding across federal programs. It pairs those numeric ceilings with a policy push for large mandatory-spending cuts and gives budget chairs authority to adjust baselines. - Limits how much Congress can allocate to major program areas like Health, Medicare, Social Security, and Income Security by setting yearly function-by-function funding ceilings for 2025–2034. - Adopts Senate baselines for Social Security revenues and outlays and funds Social Security administrative expenses at about $6.4 billion in 2025 rising to $7.9 billion in 2034. - Requires United States Postal Service administrative expenses be counted in budget allocations and sets discretionary admin funding from $268 million in 2025 to $364 million in 2034. - Authorizes House and Senate Budget Committee chairs to adjust aggregates and baselines, requires publication of those changes, and establishes a $2.0 trillion mandatory-spending reduction goal with automatic offsets if committees fall short. *This resolution reduces federal revenues by $150 billion each year and projects persistent annual deficits of roughly $936.3 billion in 2025 to $1.5 trillion in 2034, indicating continued strain on the federal ledger.*

Examples: Medicare is about $952 billion in FY2025 and about $1.67 trillion in FY2034; the Health function is about $949 billion in FY2025 and about $1.31 trillion in FY2034. It woul…

The Senate Finance Committee would be directed to propose up to a $5 trillion increase by May 16, 2025. These are instructions to draft debt‑limit legislation and…
- Annual $150B revenue cut target: mixed, high. If adopted by both chambers, this resolution would set a $150 billion drop in total federal revenues each year from 2025 through 2034.

- House committees: savings and spending caps: mixed, high. If adopted, the resolution would give House committees budget targets for 2025–2034. It would require deficit cuts of at least $880 billion from Energy and Commerce, $330 billion from Education and Workforce, $230 billion from Agriculture, $50 billion from Oversight, $10 billion from Transportation…
- House trigger to adjust deficit plan: mixed, high. If adopted by both chambers, the resolution would set a House rule for reconciliation. If listed committees deliver less than $2 trillion in net deficit reduction for 2025–2034, the Budget Chair would cut the $4.5 trillion Ways and Means instruction by the shortfall. If they deliver more, the Chair…
- Senate committees: savings and spending caps: mixed, high. If adopted, the resolution would set Senate committee targets for 2025–2034. Finance could increase the deficit by up to $1.5 trillion; Homeland Security and Judiciary by up to $175 billion each; Armed Services by up to $150 billion; and Commerce by up to $20 billion.

- Senate rule for tax extensions: mixed, high. If adopted by both chambers, the resolution would let the Senate Budget Committee chair change budget totals for certain tax bills. The chair would be able to use a baseline that treats some 2017 tax law provisions as current policy. Any bill using this rule would not be allowed to raise the defici…
- How budget chairs could adjust numbers: mixed, medium. If adopted, the House and Senate Budget Chairs would be able to revise allocations and aggregates for reconciliation bills that meet the resolution’s instructions. They would also be able to update numbers to reflect CBO baseline updates and changes in budget definitions, and to publish adjustments…
- Reserve funds for savings and deregulation: mixed, medium. If adopted, the Senate Budget Chair would be able to adjust budget levels for bills that reduce outlays and cut the deficit by more than $2 trillion over 2025–2034.
