The House passed its budget yesterday and the Senate passed its budget plan too. Like we did with the House budget, we’ve run the numbers of the Senate plan as introduced, and will break them down for you here.

Under the Senate plan, total spending in Fiscal Year 2010 (outlays) will be just short of $3 trillion dollars. (Specifically $2,981,025,000,000.00). That’s about $30,500 per U.S. family, just over $9,700 per person.
