Bills & Spending

H.R. 2471Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022

What the tracked text contains

Of the money itself: $1.88T across 37 tracked line-items — health ($1.06T, 57%), national defense ($313.5B, 17%) and income security ($279.2B, 15%) lead; 7 smaller categories carry the rest. The largest single line: $487,862,000,000 for Payments to the Medicare Hospital Insurance and Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Funds (general-fund subsidy). Beyond the cash, the text also sets $70.8B of trust-fund obligation limits and $1.33T of loan-guarantee ceilings — disclosed beside the total, never summed into it. The dated money sits in fiscal 2023 — 9% of tracked dollars carry a year in the text.

Where the money goes

$1.88T across 37 tracked items · compare against another law →

The largest verified line-items. This pie breaks down the biggest spending items in the bill — appropriations and mandatory (direct) spending — by category. Every dollar is quoted from the text; click any slice to read them. It is not necessarily every dollar in the bill, and the gaps are not always small ones — where an account was left out, How this was built at the foot of this page says so and why, and a large omission can change which category ranks first. Figures that aren’t spending — authorizations, guarantee ceilings, pay-fors, and carve-outs already counted — are deliberately left out and disclosed below.

The money map

blocks sized by dollars — open one for the law’s own words

Area is dollars. Each block is one category of tracked spending in H.R. 2471, sized by its share of the $1.88T 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.

5 of the 10 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.

None of these are added to the map. They are ceilings, borrowing limits, carve-outs of dollars already counted inside a block above, or pay-fors — summing them into the map would count the same money twice and draw permission to spend as spending. Each is itemized further down this page.

What’s in this bill

every mechanism we could extract, at one scale

A law can move money four different ways, and only one of them is cash. This compares what H.R. 2471 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.

Appropriations & direct spending$1.88T
37 tracked items · FY2023, on 2 of 37; the rest carry no year
cash out the door — this is what the pie above divides up
Trust-fund obligation limits · not spending$70.8B
2 tracked items · FY2022
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.
Loan-guarantee ceilings · not spending$1.33T
4 tracked items
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.

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 basis

No 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.

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.

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.

H.R. 2471 was the omnibus vehicle: the House passed it on 2022-03-09 by concurring in the Senate amendment with an amendment, split into two divided questions. Roll 66 (On Concurring in Senate Amdt with Amdt, Remaining Divisions) passed 260-171 (1 Present, 1 Not Voting) and carries the bulk of the FY2022 omnibus including the largest appropriations in the pie (Div A SNAP, Div H Medicare/Medicaid); those recorded positions are the House positions used here. The companion question, roll 65 (Divisions B, C, F, X, Z and titles 2-3 of Division N — the Ukraine supplemental military titles), passed 361-69 the same day; it is a separate recorded vote (https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2022/roll065.xml) and is not merged into the positions map. Rolls 67 and 68 that day were procedural motions to table reconsideration, not final passage.

The Senate cleared the bill on 2022-03-10 by agreeing to the House amendment to the Senate amendment (Record Vote 78, On the Motion), 68-31 (1 absent), reaching the 60-vote threshold under the 3/10/2022 unanimous-consent order. This is the operative final Senate vote; it was signed into Public Law 117-103 on 2022-03-15.

“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.

Abstained (1): Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).

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 370 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.

How this was built

Fetched the enrolled XML with python3 requests from GovInfo bulk BILLS. Built a faithful text via ElementTree.itertext join with whitespace normalization, and a parallel walk that tags every text fragment with its enclosing <division> enum for division attribution. Extracted the largest appropriation lines across the twelve FY2022 appropriations divisions (A-L) and the Ukraine supplemental (Division N), classified each by its operative verb, and re-located every dollar string and its <=15-word quote as an exact substring of the faithful text. 43 of 43 sampled figures were re-located as exact strings in the source text. Source: GovInfo enrolled bill text (BILLS-117hr2471enr). Full bill text.

Extraction notes (technical)

H.R. 2471, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Public Law 117-103, signed 2022-03-15), is the full-year FY2022 omnibus: all twelve regular appropriations bills as Divisions A-L, plus the Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022 as Division N, plus dozens of non-spending authorizing divisions (O-HH: VAWA reauthorization, Cyber Incident Reporting, LIBOR Act, EB-5 reform, etc.). THRESHOLD: easily clears $100B - Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP alone are roughly $1.16T of appropriated budget authority. Tracked appropriation+direct_spending total (the pie) = $1,880,338,204,045 across 37 line-items; this is a FLOOR of the largest accounts, not the omnibus's complete account-by-account total (the Act carries ~$1.5T discretionary plus large mandatory appropriations). MECHANISM CALLS (the point of this site): (1) IN THE PIE - appropriations read from the operative verb 'For necessary expenses .../For carrying out ... $X' or 'there is appropriated $X'. NOTE several of the very largest lines are economically MANDATORY entitlements that are nonetheless APPROPRIATED here via operative 'For' language, so they are tagged 'appropriation' per the operative-verb rule (same treatment as the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 file gave SNAP/Child Nutrition): Medicare Payments to Health Care Trust Funds $487,862,000,000, Grants to States for Medicaid $368,666,106,000 (full year) plus a separate $165,722,018,000 first-quarter-FY2023 advance appropriation, SNAP $140,440,868,000, Child Nutrition $26,883,922,000, SSI $45,913,823,000 plus a $15,600,000,000 first-quarter-FY2023 advance. VA Medical Services $70,323,116,000 and Medical Community Care $24,156,659,000 are FY2023 ADVANCE appropriations. Each advance is a distinct appropriation of new budget authority, not a subset of the full-year line, so both are counted (same as the CARES/CAA-2024 VA treatment). (2) DISCLOSED, NOT IN THE PIE - loan_guarantee_ceiling: Ginnie Mae MBS guarantee ceiling $900,000,000,000 ('shall not exceed'), FHA Mutual Mortgage Insurance $400,000,000,000 ('shall not exceed'), SBA 7(a) business-loan guarantee ceiling $30,000,000,000, and the Ukraine Foreign Military Financing loan-guarantee ceiling $4,000,000,000 - these back private/foreign lending and spend no cash; summing them (nearly $1.334T) would be the defining failure mode. obligation_limitation: Federal-aid Highways $57,473,430,072 and Transit Formula Grants $13,355,000,000 ('shall not exceed total obligations of') are CEILINGS on Highway Trust Fund contract authority whose underlying authority lives in the IIJA/surface-transportation law, not this act; each is paired in the bill with a separate liquidating-cash figure (e.g. FHWA $58,212,430,072 'derived from the Highway Trust Fund') that is NOT summed here to avoid double counting. Excluded totals: loan_guarantee_ceiling $1,334,000,000,000, obligation_limitation $70,828,430,072. The $200,000,000,000,000 figure in Division U (LIBOR Act) is a congressional FINDING about the notional value of LIBOR-referencing contracts - not budget authority - and is excluded. Every dollar string and its <=15-word quote in line_items was re-located as an exact substring of a faithful ElementTree.itertext rendering of the enrolled XML (whitespace-normalized). Division letters in each citation were assigned by walking the XML tracking the enclosing <division> enum. PROCEDURE: the omnibus cleared both chambers in early March 2022 and was signed into law on 2022-03-15; the specific recorded roll-call votes to attach to members should be pulled from the House/Senate clerk vote records rather than asserted here.

How this lands in a state

two layers, in order: reported, shown

Pick 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 law

No official source breaks H.R. 2471 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 build

No 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. 2471. 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 given

Choose 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.
