This resolution establishes Congress's budget blueprint for fiscal year 2027, with spending and revenue targets extending through 2036. It projects federal revenues starting at about $4.48 trillion in 2027 and rising to $6.34 trillion by 2036, while spending would grow from roughly $6.08 trillion to $7.86 trillion over the same period, resulting in annual deficits ranging from about $1.3 trillion to $1.6 trillion. The plan sets specific funding levels across major categories like defense, healthcare, Social Security, veterans benefits, and interest on the debt, and it directs the public debt to climb from about $41 trillion to nearly $59 trillion by 2036. A key feature is the reconciliation instructions, which direct House and Senate committees—covering areas like agriculture, armed services, intelligence, judiciary, and homeland security—to draft legislation by September 11, 2026, that fits within specified deficit limits, paving the way for a follow-up bill that can pass with simple majorities. The resolution also includes technical rules for how Congress will track and enforce these budget levels, including special provisions for disaster relief, wildfire suppression, and health program funding adjustments, but as a concurrent resolution it does not require the President's signature and does not itself become law.
