Bills & Spending

H.R. 7148Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026

Official title: Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes.

What the tracked text contains

Of the money itself: $2.15T across 36 tracked line-items — health ($1.43T, 66%), defense ($512.4B, 24%) and income security ($102.0B, 5%) lead; 4 smaller categories carry the rest. The largest single line: $593,817,000,000 for General-revenue payment to the Medicare Hospital Insurance and Supplementary Medical Insurance trust funds (Parts B and D). Beyond the cash, the text also sets $8.8B of authorizations (a ceiling on future spending), $62.7B of trust-fund obligation limits, $4.4B of set-asides (already counted above) and $985.5B of loan-guarantee ceilings — disclosed beside the total, never summed into it. The dated money runs fiscal 2026–2027 — 14% of tracked dollars carry a year in the text.

Where the money goes

$2.15T across 36 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. 7148, sized by its share of the $2.15T 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.

health: $1.43T, 66 percent of the $2.15T tracked; defense: $512.4B, 24 percent of the $2.15T tracked; income security: $102.0B, 5 percent of the $2.15T tracked; education: $74.2B, 3 percent of the $2.15T tracked; transportation: $16.3B, 1 percent of the $2.15T tracked; other: $11.5B, 1 percent of the $2.15T tracked; community & regional development: $7.0B, 0.3 percent of the $2.15T trackedhealth$1.43T66% of $2.15T trackeddefense$512.4B24% of $2.15T trackedincomesecurity$102.0Beducation$74.2B

3 of the 7 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 scale

A law can move money four different ways, and only one of them is cash. This compares what H.R. 7148 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$2.15T
36 tracked items · FY2026–FY2027 combined, not one year, on 3 of 36; the rest carry no year
cash out the door — this is what the pie above divides up
Authorizations (a ceiling on future spending) · not spending$8.8B
2 tracked items · FY2026–FY2030 combined, not one year, on 1 of 2; the rest carry no year
“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.
Trust-fund obligation limits · not spending$62.7B
1 tracked item · FY2026
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.
Set-asides (already counted above) · not spending$4.4B
3 tracked items
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.
Loan-guarantee ceilings · not spending$985.5B
3 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.

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.

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.

2 of 36 tracked line-items carry a fiscal year in their own quoted text — 14% 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 (1): Dan Crenshaw (R-TX).

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 526 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.

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 FY2026 obligations for Federal-aid highway and highway-safety construction (draws Highway Trust Fund contract authority created in other laws, not here)$62.7BFY2026

Set-asides (already counted above)$4.4B

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.

  • Share of Foreign Military Financing reserved for grants only for Israel — a carve-out WITHIN the $6,158,397,000 FMF account, not additional money$3.3B
  • Taiwan Security Cooperation Initiative — a carve-out WITHIN the $56,089,818,000 Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide account, not additional money$1.0Bavailable until FY2027
  • Transit grants for domestic FIFA World Cup 2026 host cities — a REDIRECTION of prior-year unobligated balances, not new budget authority$100.3M

Loan-guarantee ceilings$985.5B

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 (a federal backstop for private lending; NO cash is spent)$550.0B
  • FHA Mutual Mortgage Insurance — ceiling on NEW single-family loan-guarantee commitments (NO cash is spent)$400.0B

How this was built

Fetched the enrolled XML from GovInfo bulk BILLS (keyless), confirmed bill-stage="Enrolled-Bill"; flattened it with ElementTree itertext() and collapsed whitespace to a faithful 1,650,706-character text; walked every <appropriations-major|intermediate|small> element to map each dollar figure to its division/title/agency/account chain; classified each by its operative verb; then re-located every dollar string and every quote as exact substrings of that flattened text. 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)

SOURCE: the ENACTED (enrolled) bill text from GovInfo bulk BILLS, bill-stage="Enrolled-Bill" (BILLS-119hr7148enr.xml, 2,457,758 bytes). Text was extracted faithfully via XML itertext() with whitespace collapsed (1,650,706 chars); every quote below is an exact substring of that text. H.R. 7148 became Public Law 119-75 on 2026-02-03 (confirmed against GovInfo BILLSTATUS-119hr7148.xml and PLAW-119publ75). WHY BILL TEXT AND NOT THE CBO SCORE: this is a classic appropriations act — nine divisions of explicit "For necessary expenses ... $X" account lines. Its dollars are concrete in the operative text, so the bill text is the honest source; no CBO figure was needed or used. MECHANISMS — these are NOT additive. (1) appropriation = real FY2026 discretionary budget authority. (2) direct_spending = mandatory funding created by the authorizing divisions (Division J health extenders, e.g. the Community Health Center Fund and the Special Diabetes Program), which appropriations committees do not control. (3) obligation_limitation = the FY2026 ceiling on drawing Highway Trust Fund CONTRACT AUTHORITY that was created by prior surface-transportation law, not by this Act; the paired liquidating cash appropriation of $63,396,105,821 under the same FHWA heading covers the same obligations and is deliberately NOT listed separately so it cannot be double-counted. (4) loan_guarantee_ceiling = caps on NEW guarantee commitments where the government backstops private lending and NO cash is spent — Ginnie Mae $550B, FHA MMI $400B, SBA 7(a) $35.5B, plus (not listed) FHA General and Special Risk $35B and SBA 504 $16.5B. A naive "add every dollar" would be dominated by roughly $1 trillion of these ceilings, which is the single biggest failure mode in reading this bill. (5) authorization = "authorized to be appropriated" ceilings on FUTURE appropriations (Sec. 6501(c) maternal health, $100,000,000 per year FY2026-2030) and the African Development Bank callable-capital subscription authority — permission, not money. (6) set_aside = carve-outs that are already inside a listed amount and must never be summed again: the $3.3B Israel share of the $6,158,397,000 FMF account, and the $1.0B Taiwan Security Cooperation Initiative share of the $56,089,818,000 Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide account. The FIFA World Cup 2026 transit item ($100,250,212) is also tagged set_aside because it REDIRECTS prior-year unobligated balances rather than providing new budget authority; a companion Sec. 165 redirects $94,316,766 for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic games on the same basis. SCOPE: these are the largest and most illustrative items, not every dollar. The Act has 923 appropriations elements (19 major / 233 intermediate / 671 small) containing exactly 1,830 dollar figures across Divisions A (Defense), B (Labor-HHS-Education), D (Transportation-HUD), E (Financial Services and General Government), F (National Security / State and foreign operations), G (Other Matters), H (Further Continuing Appropriations), I (Authorizing Extenders) and J (Health Care Extenders). There is no Division C. Divisions G, H and I contain no dollar figures at all (verified: A=257, B=434, D=441, E=352, F=276, J=69 dollar strings; G=H=I=0; 1,830 total). Tracked totals are therefore a FLOOR, never the Act's complete total. EARMARKS: several accounts (e.g. Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements, $87,426,000 of $137,426,000) give only an account total in the bill text and point to a Community Project Funding / Congressionally Directed Spending table in the explanatory statement described in section 4 — a separate document not parsed here. AMBIGUOUS STRINGS: some dollar strings recur in the Act (e.g. $150,000,000 appears 10 times, $200,000,000 10 times). Each citation therefore carries both the account location and a longer verbatim quote; source_occurrences records how often the bare dollar string appears, while quote_found_verbatim records the check that matters — whether the full quoted phrase exists in the source.

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. 7148 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. 7148. 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.
