federal budget
Government financial plan
A federal budget is the comprehensive financial plan of a national government, outlining projected revenues and expenditures for a fiscal year.
It allocates money across departments and programs—defense, healthcare, infrastructure, social services—and projects how much will come in through taxes and other sources.
Congress and the president haggled over the federal budget for months.
The federal budget shapes national priorities and often sparks intense political debate over spending levels and taxation.
