Bill
S.Con.Res. 22 (119th): 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.
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.
Summary
Recorded summary
This Senate concurrent resolution sets the congressional budget for FY2026 and states budgetary levels for FY2027-FY2035. It recommends levels for federal revenues, budget authority, outlays, deficits, public debt, debt held by the public, and major spending categories. It also sets Social Security and Postal Service discretionary administrative expense levels for Senate budget enforcement, creates reserve funds for certain efficiency, consolidation, savings, or health savings account legislation, and sets budget enforcement procedures.
Theological note: Scripture grounds fiscal responsibility in stewardship, honest dealing, and care for future generations, and it warns against burdening the household through unchecked borrowing. Budget levels bear on how a government uses public resources and on the debts it passes to others. The measure's specific figures are not stated in the metadata, so its moral weight depends on the levels it actually sets.

- Polarity rationale: Reviewed enrichment (llm_import) polarity: A budget resolution is a generic budget-process measure whose basic dispute is over the level of spending and deficits, which is largely prudential. The metadata does not show that it directly advances a named moral harm or directly restrains one. Its debt and spending levels raise real stewardship concerns, but the existing 'evil' polarity overstates what the metadata supports, since no specific operative harm is identified.
