The Budget divides more than $7 trillion in annual federal spending into three broad categories: (i) discretionary spending, (ii) direct (or mandatory) spending, and (iii) net interest payments on the public debt. Discretionary spending levels–about one-third of the federal budget–are set each year through 12 appropriation bills.
