Current budget is available at https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/. Formal budget documents are in PDF format and are on https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/Overview.

Bulk: Whilst the data is split across multiple files there is a good core set of data in the "Public Budget Database" which consists of only 3 substantial CSV files. As such, have marked Bulk as "Yes"
