Congress is well into the process of passing the twelve spending bills that dictate federal government spending for the 2010 fiscal year, which begins October 1, 2009. We’ve produced a table to track the House and Senate bills, their costs, and votes on them, as well as votes on final passage of the compromise bill that becomes law. It started with passage of the congressional budget resolution in late April, which set overall spending targets at about $29,000 per U.S. family. We will update this table as new bills are introduced and votes are taken in the House and Senate.

* Cost per average-sized U.S. family; amounts are approximate; changes in interest rates alter net present value calculation
† Reflects Senate action on House bill
‡ Included continuing resolution funding all other parts of government until their funding bills pass or October 31, 2009, whichever comes first
