national budgets
Governmental spending plans
National budgets is the plural of national budget—a government's plan for revenue and spending over a fiscal year.
National budgets outline how much money a country expects to collect through taxes and other sources, and how it will allocate funds across defense, healthcare, infrastructure, and other priorities.
Congress debates the national budget every fall.
Budget deficits occur when spending exceeds revenue; surpluses when the reverse is true.
