Senate Concurrent Resolution 14 serves as a "budget blueprint" that establishes the federal government’s spending levels and revenue targets for fiscal year 2022 and the following decade. Its primary function is to provide "reconciliation instructions," a procedural tool that allows Congress to pass major tax and spending legislation with a simple majority in the Senate. For the average citizen, this resolution acted as the necessary first step for Congress to debate and eventually fund significant social programs, climate initiatives, and infrastructure projects while setting specific rules for how those programs are paid for.
