FY 2025 Budget Reconciliation Resource Page
Details on the history and status of the FY 2025 Budget Reconciliation
The FY2025 budget reconciliation package (P.L. 119-21), known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA), represents a $3.5 trillion addition to America’s national debt—a financial burden that will fall squarely on the shoulders of taxpayers.
While reconciliation has often been used to bypass regular order and advance politically charged priorities, OBBBA takes that practice to a new level—with even less scrutiny and far greater cost. It is one of the most expensive and expansive yet—stacked with tax cuts, spending increases, and policy riders that will add trillions to the national debt. It was also adopted swiftly, with little time for elected representatives and taxpayers to understand the full implications of the text.
Taxpayers for Common Sense believes any reconciliation bill should reduce—not increase—deficits. It should avoid budget gimmicks, reject subsidies with dubious returns, and focus on policies that improve long-term fiscal health.
This page includes our analysis, commentary, and key documents on the FY2025 budget reconciliation package.
