*Discretionary spending refers to money that Congress debates and appropriates each year. Discretionary federal grants to state and local governments cover such areas as education, community development and the environment. Mandatory spending is authorized by Congress setting out eligibility or other criteria which determines the funding levels rather than the amount itself.
**Each state's share is based on Budget of the U.S. Government, FY2006, Analytical Perspectives, Table 8-6. This table presents a summary of some discretionary and mandatory programs, but presents the closest estimate available at this time for breaking down the total discretionary programs.
***The inflation rate used is 2.4%, following the economic assumptions laid out in the budget.
