President Trump proposing cuts to federal environmental, renewable energy, education & foreign-aid programs in a 2026 budget blueprint that cuts nondefense discretionary spending by
$163B (-22.6% cut from projected spending in FY25)
The budget plan will propose
$557B in nondefense discretionary spending.
Nondefense discretionary spending represents the portion of federal money that must be reauthorized each year & includes funding for areas such as education, transportation & public health. It doesn’t include Medicare, Medicaid & Social Security, or spending on defense.
Budget proposal would increase funding for military spending by +13% & Homeland Security would increase by nearly +65%. Air & rail safety, veterans & law enforcement would also see increased spending under the plan.
DOGE would cut
$150B in spending in the coming fiscal year
--- I don't f/cast the FY26 budget will balance - House budget was already going to add
$961.6B to the debt
