Stop Baseline Bloat Act: Clearer Budget Projections, Excludes Emergencies

This act changes how the government projects future spending by excluding emergency funds and supplemental appropriations from baseline forecasts. This aims to provide citizens with a clearer picture of planned expenditures, potentially leading to greater transparency in public finances.
Key points
Budget projections will no longer include spending for emergency situations, like natural disasters.
Additional funds approved outside the main budget will also be excluded from long-term forecasts.
The goal is to present a more accurate view of planned spending, which may help in better managing the nation's finances.
