Abstract	After a fight over federal funding for fiscal year (FY) 2017, Congress has spent the past several months deciding how to fund the government for the upcoming fiscal year. Budget negotiations started in May 2017 when the Trump administration released a proposed budget for FY 2018 that included cuts to domestic spending. Under regular order, this would be the start of a budget and appropriations process beginning with the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate budget committees developing budget resolutions. The budget resolutions contain top-line spending numbers and reconciliation instructions and provide a blueprint for the authorizing and appropriations committees, which are responsible for deciding the details of how money is spent across federal programs. However the current budget process has broken down. As a result, the appropriations committees began developing their FY 2018 bills before budget resolutions were passed. Because there are so many different proposals currently underway, this paper focuses primarily on President Trump's budget request as an indicator of what the administration's priorities are and on the House and Senate appropriations bills as an indicator of how Congress intends to allocate federal funding. The House and Senate budget proposals are discussed where appropriate, such as in the context of mandatory programs or reconciliation instructions related to tax reform.
