A concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035.

# Congressional Budget Resolution for Fiscal Years 2026-2035

Senate Concurrent Resolution 33 establishes the federal government's overall spending and revenue framework for fiscal year 2026, along with budget targets extending through 2035. The resolution sets spending caps for major budget categories including defense, domestic programs, and entitlements, while also outlining revenue projections. Congress uses budget resolutions like this one to coordinate spending and tax decisions across different committees and to establish guidelines that govern subsequent legislation.

The resolution was introduced during a period of significant fiscal debate, as Congress regularly grapples with balancing spending priorities against concerns about the national debt and deficits. Sponsored by Senator Lindsey Graham, the measure passed the House narrowly by a vote of 215 to 211 in late April 2026, reflecting deep partisan divisions over spending priorities and the country's fiscal direction. Budget resolutions serve as blueprints for the detailed appropriations and tax bills that follow, making them critical tools for shaping federal policy on spending, though they do not themselves appropriate funds or raise revenue.
