Budget Committee

The Budget Committee in the House of Representatives is responsible for overseeing the federal budget process. It develops and reviews budgets, proposes fiscal policies, and ensures that spending aligns with revenue. The committee analyzes economic trends and estimates costs for various government programs. Members work together to draft a budget resolution, which sets spending limits but does not require the president's approval. This committee plays a crucial role in shaping how taxpayer money is allocated and ensuring government financial accountability. Ultimately, its work influences decisions on social services, defense, infrastructure, and other important areas of the federal budget.
