Project Vote Smart's Synopsis:
Vote to pass a resolution that sets the budget outlays for 2006 through 2011 at $14.58 trillion, estimates the federal revenue for 2006 through 20011 at $11.73 trillion and sets a discretionary funding limit for 2006 and 2007 at $1.97 trillion.
NOTE: THIS IS A NON-BINDING CONCURRENT BUDGET RESOLUTION THAT SETS THE FUNDING LEVEL FOR DISCRETIONARY SPENDING. IT IS NOT SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT AND THEREFORE DOES NOT HOLD THE WEIGHT OF LAW, BUT IS USED AS A GUIDE FOR CONGRESS AS IT PASSES THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATION AND OTHER BILLS.
