H.R. 1625 — Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018
Official title: An Act to amend the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956 to include severe forms of trafficking in persons within the definition of transnational organized crime for purposes of the rewards program of the Department of State, and for other purposes (enacted as the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018; Public Law 115-141)
What the tracked text contains
Of the money itself: $1.38T across 30 tracked line-items — health ($743.1B, 54%), defense ($286.6B, 21%) and veterans ($144.9B, 10%) lead; 9 smaller categories carry the rest. The largest single line: $323,497,300,000 for Payments to the Medicare Hospital Insurance and Supplementary Medical Insurance trust funds. Beyond the cash, the text also sets $10.0B of authorizations (a ceiling on future spending), $63.0B of trust-fund obligation limits, $6.8B of set-asides (already counted above) and $953.0B of loan-guarantee ceilings — disclosed beside the total, never summed into it. The dated money sits in fiscal 2019 — 9% of tracked dollars carry a year in the text.

The money map
blocks sized by dollars — open one for the law’s own wordsArea is dollars. Each block is one category of tracked spending in H.R. 1625, sized by its share of the $1.38T this page tracks. Open a block and it lists the line-items inside it, each with the passage of the enacted text that carries the dollar figure, quoted word for word, and the section it sits in. Category names are the extraction’s own labels, printed as they come — nothing here calls a category worthwhile or wasteful. The quote is the argument.
This map divides the same tracked total the pie above divides — money the text writes as exact dollar lines. It is not the bill’s total fiscal effect: what the extraction leaves out is stated above the pie and in How this was built at the foot of this page, and the dollars deliberately kept out of the count are listed under the map.
6 of the 12 blocks are too small to carry a label without overprinting themselves, so they are drawn blank — every category is named, with its figures, in the rows and the table below.

What’s in this bill
every mechanism we could extract, at one scaleA law can move money four different ways, and only one of them is cash. This compares what H.R. 1625 actually spends against what it authorizes, caps, guarantees or pays for. Every bar is a sample. Each one sums the tracked line-items in that mechanism — the largest figures that appear in the text as an exact dollar string — so a bar is a floor, not a mechanism total, and on some laws it is a small fraction of one. Each bar carries its item count and, where the items carry years, the span it covers and where those years came from.
These bars are not added together. Only the top bar is money leaving the Treasury. The rest are ceilings, borrowing limits, carve-outs of money already counted above, or pay-fors — summing them would count the same dollars twice and treat permission to spend as spending. How this was built says what each extraction left out.
What CBO says it does to the deficit
verified estimate, quoted with its basisNo verified CBO estimate is on file for this bill yet — the gap is stated here rather than filled from memory or news coverage.
The terms on this page, in plain English
What these things actually are — and what this bill does to each of them. Written for readers, not staffers; every figure in the “in this bill” lines appears elsewhere on this page.
The Highway Trust Fund
The federal government's dedicated road-and-transit account. Money flows in from federal taxes on gasoline and diesel, and flows out to state highway and transit projects. Congress promises states money from it years in advance — so the fund's health depends on fuel-tax receipts keeping up with the promises, and for years they haven't. When the gap gets big enough, Congress moves ordinary Treasury money in to cover it.
Contract authority
A promise now, cash later. Congress lets highway agencies sign binding commitments against future trust-fund money before any cash is in hand — useful because a bridge takes years to build. The commitments are real spending eventually, but the figure here is permission to commit, so it is disclosed beside the total rather than counted as money out the door.
Obligation limitation
The annual brake on those promises. States hold years of trust-fund commitments, and each year's spending bill caps how much of them may turn into actual signed spending that year. It is real money moving, but the number is a limit on older promises — not new money — so adding it to the total would double-count.
Authorization (“authorized to be appropriated”)
Permission, not money. “There is authorized to be appropriated $X” sets a ceiling on what a future spending bill may provide — and if that later bill never passes, not a dollar moves. Much of a landmark law's famous headline number is this kind of permission, which is why this site never adds it to the spending total.
Mandatory vs. discretionary spending
Discretionary money must be re-approved every year in appropriations bills — if Congress does nothing, it stops. Mandatory (also called direct) spending is written into permanent law and flows automatically until Congress changes the law itself. Benefit programs mostly work the mandatory way, which is why they don't show up in the yearly funding fights.
Loan-guarantee ceiling
The government co-signing loans, not spending money. The figure caps how much new lending the government may promise to stand behind; cash leaves the Treasury only if borrowers default. These ceilings can dwarf a bill's actual spending — which is exactly why they are shown separately and never summed into it.
Advance appropriation
Money approved now for a future year. Used above all for veterans' benefits and care, so that a government shutdown or a late budget can never interrupt disability checks or hospital operations — the money for next year is already law.
Set-aside (carve-out)
A floor inside money already counted: “of the amounts above, at least $X shall go to Y.” It steers the money rather than adding to it — counting a carve-out again would double-count — so it is disclosed beside the total, never summed into it.
SNAP (food stamps)
Monthly grocery money on a debit card for low-income households. It is an entitlement: everyone who qualifies and applies receives it, and the appropriation has to cover whoever shows up — so the figure moves with the economy, not with a policy choice in this bill.
Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8)
Rent help for low-income tenants: the household pays roughly a third of its income, the voucher covers the rest up to a local cap. Unlike SNAP it is not an entitlement — when the year's money runs out, waiting lists grow. That is why this annual number decides how many families are actually helped.
When the money is for
fiscal years the tracked line-items carry1 of 30 tracked line-items carries a fiscal year in its own quoted text — 9% of the tracked dollars. The no year column is money the text appropriates without naming a year in the quoted passage; it is shown so the dated columns aren’t mistaken for the whole schedule.

“Did not vote” is not the same as “absent.” The record distinguishes Present — there, and formally declining to take a side — from Not Voting, where no vote was cast. That is usually absence, but the roll call does not say so, so this table does not either.
Did not vote (3): Chellie Pingree (D-ME), Danny K. Davis (D-IL), Kevin Cramer (R-ND).
A member is recorded as not voting for many ordinary reasons — illness, a death in the family, official travel, or a paired vote arranged with a colleague on the other side. The roll call gives no reason, so neither does this page, and nothing here is counted against anyone’s grade. This site tracks a small number of major bills, so a single absence is a large share of what is shown here and a very small share of the hundreds of votes a member actually casts.
These tallies count the 255 members sitting today who have a recorded position, not the historical result. Several of these bills passed in earlier Congresses, and members who have since left are not in the roster — so the totals here are smaller than the 435 + 100 that voted at the time. Where both chambers held a recorded vote, a member is grouped by the chamber they sit in now; anyone who has switched chambers since then appears in their current row.
Authorizations (a ceiling on future spending) — $10.0B
“There are authorized to be appropriated $X” sets a CAP on what a future appropriations bill may provide — it is permission, not money. Much of a landmark law’s headline figure is this. It is disclosed here, never summed into the pie, because the cash only exists if a later bill actually appropriates it.
- Authorization of appropriations for FAA operations (ceiling on FUTURE appropriations, not money)$10.0BFY2018
Trust-fund obligation limits — $63.0B
Ceilings on Highway Trust Fund contract authority. Real spending, but the figure is a limit and the underlying authority is set in the surface-transportation law, not this bill — so it is disclosed here, not summed into the spending pie.
- Ceiling on obligations for Federal-aid highway and highway safety construction (Highway Trust Fund)$44.2B
- Ceiling on obligations for transit formula and bus grants (Mass Transit Account)$9.7B
- GSA Federal Buildings Fund - limitation on obligation of the Fund's own revenues for construction, repair and rent of federal buildings$9.1B
Set-asides (already counted above) — $6.8B
A carve-out or reservation WITHIN a larger line-item already in the pie (e.g. a share of a fund reserved for a specific use). Shown for detail but NOT summed in — its dollars are part of the parent, and counting both would double-count.
- Foreign Military Financing grants for Israel (carve-out of the FMF account)$3.1B
- Border fencing and barrier directive — carve-out of the CBP construction account$1.6B
- Assistance for Jordan (economic support and foreign military financing directive)$1.5B
- 25 miles of primary pedestrian levee fencing on the southwest border$445.0M
- Construction of the Otay Mesa Land Port of Entry (carve-out of the GSA construction line)$121.8M
- Grants to Alaska for rural and Native village drinking-water and wastewater needs (carve-out of EPA STAG)$20.0M
- Puerto Rico Highway Program carve-out of the Highway infrastructure programs appropriation$15.8M
Loan-guarantee ceilings — $953.0B
Caps on NEW loan or mortgage-backed-security guarantee commitments. No cash is spent — the government only backstops private lending — so these are excluded from the pie entirely.
- Ginnie Mae — ceiling on new mortgage-backed-securities guarantee commitments (no cash outlay)$500.0B
- FHA Mutual Mortgage Insurance — ceiling on new loan guarantee commitments (no cash outlay)$400.0B
- Ceiling on SBA 7(a) general business loan guarantee commitments (no cash outlay)$29.0B

How this was built
Fetched the GovInfo enrolled-bill XML (bill-stage="Enrolled-Bill", 4,041,795 bytes) with python-requests; rendered a faithful text via ElementTree itertext with a parallel offset index of every division/title/appropriations-major/intermediate/small header, so each dollar figure could be attributed to its exact account. Scanned all 2,603 comma-formatted dollar amounts >= $1,000,000, ranked by size, then hand-read the operative verb around each selected figure to assign a funding mechanism. Every quote is a machine-sliced exact substring of the fetched text (<=15 words), and all 40 were re-located by exact substring search. 45 of 45 sampled figures were re-located as exact strings in the source text. Source: GovInfo enrolled bill text. Full bill text.
Extraction notes (technical)
H.R. 1625 is the FY2018 omnibus: a shell bill (originally the TARGET Act) whose enrolled text carries 22 divisions, of which A-L are the twelve regular appropriations acts. Its dollars are explicit "$X for <purpose>" account lines, so the honest source is the BILL TEXT, not a CBO score. MECHANISMS - do not sum these together. (1) 'appropriation' = real budget authority provided by this Act. (2) 'obligation_limitation' = a ceiling, not budget authority: Federal-aid Highways ($44,234,212,000) and Transit Formula Grants ($9,733,353,407) cap obligation of Highway Trust Fund contract authority created by the FAST Act, not by this bill (the separate 'liquidation of contract authorization' cash line of $44,973,212,000 for highways is deliberately NOT listed, to avoid double-counting the same highway money); GSA's Federal Buildings Fund ($9,073,938,000) is likewise a limitation on obligating the Fund's own revenues, phrased 'in the aggregate amount of', not a general-fund appropriation. (3) 'loan_guarantee_ceiling' = caps on NEW guarantee commitments that spend no cash: Ginnie Mae $500B, FHA Mutual Mortgage Insurance $400B, SBA 7(a) $29B, USDA unsubsidized guaranteed rural housing $24B - $953B of headline numbers that are not spending at all, and the single biggest failure mode on this bill. (4) 'authorization' = the one item here that is permission rather than money: Division M sec. 103 amends 49 U.S.C. 106(k)(1)(F) to authorize $10,025,852,000 for FAA operations in FY2018 - a ceiling on FUTURE appropriations, distinct from the $10,211,754,000 actually appropriated for FAA Operations in Division L. (5) 'set_aside' = a carve-out WITHIN a line-item, disclosed but never summed again: the $1,571,000,000 border fencing directive (Div. F sec. 230) sits inside CBP Procurement, Construction and Improvements ($2,281,357,000), and the $445,000,000 for 25 miles of Rio Grande Valley levee fencing sits inside that $1,571,000,000; the $121,848,000 Otay Mesa land port sits inside GSA's Federal Buildings Fund; the $15,800,000 Puerto Rico Highway Program sits inside Highway Infrastructure Programs ($2,525,000,000); the $3,100,000,000 for Israel is a proviso inside Foreign Military Financing; the $1,525,000,000 for Jordan and the $20,000,000 for Alaska drinking water are directives against funds appropriated elsewhere in the Act. APPROPRIATED-MANDATORY CAVEAT: several of the largest 'appropriation' items fund entitlements (Medicare trust fund payments $323,497,300,000; Medicaid $284,798,384,000 plus a $134,847,759,000 first-quarter-FY2019 advance; SSI $38,487,277,000; VA compensation and pensions $95,768,462,000). They are appropriated by this Act - the operative verb is an appropriation - but CBO scores them as mandatory. They are real outlays either way, so they belong in the pie; the label is 'appropriation' because that is what the text does. Likewise the VA Medical Services $49,161,165,000 and Medicaid $134,847,759,000 lines are FY2019 ADVANCE appropriations made by this FY2018 Act. COVERAGE: these are the largest and most illustrative items across Divisions A-M, not every dollar. A second, adversarial pass added the five largest missed appropriations (O&M Air Force, O&M Army, RDT&E Air Force, Defense Health Program, O&M Defense-Wide), all Division C. A big omnibus has hundreds of accounts, so the tracked total is a FLOOR, never the bill's complete total. Per-project earmark detail behind account totals lives in the accompanying explanatory statement (a separate document, not parsed here).
How this lands in a state
two layers, in order: reported, shownPick a state and this section gives you two different things, and keeps them apart. First, what the government itself reports — obligations Treasury tags to this law, where such a tag exists. Second, the state’s own numbers — the same rows an assessment would be given, with their sources and vintages, so you can check this page against the record behind it. Every state is treated identically.
1. What the government reports
no official per-state breakdown exists for this lawNo official source breaks H.R. 1625 down by state, so this page publishes no per-state dollar figure for it. No Disaster Emergency Fund Code maps to this law, so no reported obligation can be traced back to it. Without that tag there is no audit trail from an award to this bill, and any per-state figure would be modelled rather than derived.
Two of the 31 laws tracked on this site can be broken down honestly — the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the American Rescue Plan Act — because Treasury tags their money with a Disaster Emergency Fund Code that maps to one public law and no other. Where no such code exists, a per-state figure would be modelled rather than derived, and this site does not publish modelled numbers.
The route we refuse to take, and why (technical)
USAspending's award SEARCH endpoints accept the same def_codes filter but select AWARDS, not DOLLARS: they return an award's entire obligation if any part of it touched the law's money. That route reported a single Sandia National Laboratories contract as $42.8B of IIJA money in New Mexico against a true DEFC-apportioned $64.5M, and overstated ARPA nationally by about 80%. It is not used here and must not be.
2. The assessment
nothing staged into this buildNo assessments were staged into this build. This layer reads precomputed readings out of the page, and this build carries none, so there is nothing here for any state — a gap in the build rather than a fact about H.R. 1625. The two sourced layers either side of it are unaffected: they are the government’s figures and the state’s own, and neither depends on a model.
3. The state’s own numbers
the rows the assessment was givenChoose a state above to see the measured profile the assessment reads from — its industry mix, its concentrations, and its energy consumption, each with its source and vintage.
