FY 2025 Budget Reconciliation Resource Page

The FY2025 budget reconciliation package is shaping up to be one of the most expensive and expansive yet—stacked with tax cuts, spending increases, and policy riders that would add trillions to the national debt. While reconciliation has often been used to bypass regular order and advance politically charged priorities, this package takes that practice to a new level—with even less scrutiny and far greater cost.

The FY2025 budget resolution, passed in February, authorized enormous increases in deficits: up to $4.8 trillion in the House and $2 trillion in the Senate. In the Senate, that figure comes on top of an assumed $4.5 trillion cost to extend provisions of the 2017 tax cuts. Proposed offsets are minimal, and many rely on gimmicks or speculative savings.

Taxpayers for Common Sense believes any reconciliation bill should reduce—not increase—deficits. It should avoid budget gimmicks, reject subsidies with dubious returns, and focus on policies that improve long-term fiscal health.
