The Trump Administration’s first budget imposes deep cuts in almost all non-military programs, eliminating some, while boosting spending in the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security.

Citing “security”, the Administration adds more than $52 billion (about 10%) to Defense, $2.8 billion (7%) to Homeland Security, and $4.4 billion (6%) to Veterans’ Affairs.

But other areas of security — environmental security, social security, and security through diplomacy and development — are slashed as well as programs for the poor, education, and the arts.

Despite the sweeping reductions, discretionary spending in the overall Federal budget is only reduced by about 1.2%, because of the boost in military spending — as well as $2.6 billion would be dedicated for border security technology and infrastructure, including Trump’s “The Wall” on the US-Mexican border, and $1.8 billion to support the crackdown on undocumented immigrants.
