This resolution sets Congress’s spending framework for 2027 and projects budget levels through 2036. It recommends targets for revenues, spending, deficits, and debt—like $4.48 trillion in revenues and $6.08 trillion in outlays for 2027. Funding is steered toward key services—defense, health care, Medicare, veterans, and transportation—while assuming large savings elsewhere. It allows fast-track budget bills (reconciliation), directs committees to propose deficit-related legislation, and permits special budget adjustments for emergencies, disaster relief, wildfire suppression, Social Security, and health care fraud control. Though not binding, it guides future funding bills, and even with these targets, deficits and debt would still rise.
