Don’t all budget bills originate in the House?
President Donald Trump unveiled a $4.8 trillion budget Monday that seeks to balance the budget in 15 years, falling short of the the traditional Republican target of doing so over 10 years.
Don’t all budget bills originate in the House?
To be more precise, Art. 1, Sec. 7: "All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills."
Spending authorizations and raising revenue are not exactly the same. Spending may exceed revenue which results in a budget deficit.
The last President to lower the federal debt in a fiscal year was Eisenhower, 1956. The debt then was $273B. The debt first topped $1T in 1982. We currently see $33.8T.
