Posts - Bill - HR 3912 Stop the Baseline Bloat Act of 2025
house 06/11/2025 - 119th Congress
We’re working to change how emergency and supplemental funding is counted in budget projections so that these temporary funds don’t make baseline spending appear larger than it really is. This will help provide a clearer picture of discretionary spending for better financial planning.

Keeping emergency funds out of projections is just common sense, not magic budget trickery.

When crisis spending vanishes from the books, who pays the bill? Hint: It’s us, the people.

Finally, a bill that stops emergency spending from ballooning the baseline like a runaway hot air balloon.

Cut the budget bloat! Emergencies shouldn’t punish hardworking taxpayers with phantom deficits.
