“Below is a summary of those goals and new rules and what they mean for you and how this Congress will work.
House Republicans want to adopt a Fiscal Year 2024 (FY2024) Budget Resolution that balances the budget within 10 years. The proposal would cut roughly $10 trillion in projected spending over the next decade while producing a slight surplus in the final year—all while making room for $3.3 trillion in tax cuts. This plan stems from a proposal from former President Donald Trump’s budget director Russ Vought. Republicans want to reform the budget process and mandatory spending programs, and they want to cap discretionary spending at levels that were enacted in 2022 or earlier. Rep.Chip Roy (R-TX-21) has pushed to cap government spending for FY2024 at FY2022 levels or earlier, which would ensure that government spending does not continue to get out of hand.”
