This concurrent resolution establishes the federal budget framework for fiscal years 2025 through 2034, setting specific targets for revenues, spending, and deficits across the decade. It projects federal revenues to increase from $3.4 trillion in 2025 to $5.4 trillion in 2034, with deficits ranging from $2.08 trillion to $2.12 trillion over the period.
