The President has requested a total of $1.67 trillion in discretionary appropriations for 2023. That amount includes certain changes in budget authority attributable to proposed changes in mandatory programs that would be enacted in the annual appropriation bills; those provisions would, on net, reduce budget authority by $33 billion in 2023 and increase it by $26 billion in 2024. With those effects on mandatory programs excluded, the proposed appropriations for 2023 would total $1.71 trillion. That amount is $38 billion (or 2 percent) less than what had been appropriated for 2022 when CBO’s baseline was prepared.
