FY2018 Budget Resolution

Oct. 26, 2017 | H.Con.Res. 71

This resolution establishing the congressional budget for FY2018 cuts programs like Medicare, Medicaid and other income security programs that provide critical support to our nation's most vulnerable population by $4.1 trillion over the next decade to pay for trillions of dollars in tax giveaways for millionaires and major corporations. The fiscal blueprint would also cut discretionary spending, including funding for education, infrastructure, job training, housing assistance and financial aid for college students by $800 billion. By 2027, spending on domestic priorities as a share of the economy would be the lowest it has been since the Hoover Administration. The House agreed to the Senate amended budget resolution without amendment.
