Star Print ordered on the reported concurrent resolution.
This concurrent resolution sets Congress’s budget blueprint for fiscal year 2025 and budgetary levels through 2034.
It specifies aggregate revenues, new budget authority, outlays, deficits, public debt and debt held by the public, and allocates funding across major functional categories.
It issues reconciliation instructions to House and Senate committees with numeric deficit-reduction or -increase targets, creates reserve funds (including for deregulation and a $2 trillion spending-reduction goal), and states House policy preferences favoring deregulation, lower taxes, and mandatory spending reductions.
Technically a budget resolution (not a Presidential‑signed law) but requires both chambers' agreement; heavy ideological content, large fiscal changes, and reconciliation demands reduce bipartisan acceptability.
How solid the drafting looks.
Progressives emphasize social program cuts risk; conservative praises spending restraint.
Progressives emphasize social program cuts risk; conservative praises spending restraint.
Likely opposed.
Views the resolution as prioritizing spending cuts and deregulation while locking in large cuts to social and climate-related accounts.
Concerned the reconciliation instructions will be used to cut mandatory programs and weaken protections for vulnerable populations.
Mixed.
Appreciates the effort to set multi-year fiscal aggregates and use reconciliation for major changes, but worries about feasibility and the distributional effects of $2 trillion cuts and the -$150 billion annual revenue change.
Wants clearer offsets and realistic implementation plans.
Generally supportive.
Endorses emphasis on spending restraint, deregulation, and tax-policy continuity.
Sees reconciliation instructions and reserve funds as practical tools to shrink government, reduce mandatory spending, and promote economic growth.
