national budget
Government spending plan
A national budget is a government's plan for revenue and spending over a fiscal year, typically requiring legislative approval.
It allocates funds across defense, healthcare, infrastructure, and other priorities while projecting tax income and borrowing needs.
Congress debated the national budget for months.
Budget battles often reflect deeper conflicts over the role of government.
