Trump Tells Congress Just How Much To Slash Budget As GOP Lawmakers Revolt Ahead Of Shutdown Showdown

President Donald Trump submitted detailed budget documents to Congress Friday, clarifying his proposal to cut non-defense federal spending by more than 22 percent in the upcoming fiscal year. The full request includes more than 1,200 pages of proposed cuts, building on the administration’s earlier “skinny budget.”

The White House is calling for significant reductions across most domestic agencies. Proposed cuts include $12 billion from the Department of Education, $5 billion from agriculture-related programs, and over $60 billion combined from health, housing, and community development efforts.

The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) budget request includes eliminating funding for dozens of grant programs, including those related to pesticide enforcement, pollution control, and toxic substance regulation.

Individual departments also released their own “budget in brief” summaries, which provide additional detail on proposed eliminations. The Department of Education’s summary lists several programs targeted for zero funding, including grants supporting preschools and services for homeless and rural students.

Despite the administration’s proposals, several Republican appropriators signaled they will not support the deepest cuts. Alaskan Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who chairs the Senate Appropriations subcommittee overseeing EPA funding, criticized the proposed budget as “unserious,” citing “indiscriminate” freezes and “massive” reorganizations, Politico reported.

House Republicans are expected to begin rolling out their annual funding bills next week. These include legislation covering agriculture programs and the Food and Drug Administration as well as funding for military construction and veterans’ programs.

The Trump administration has not issued veto threats for appropriations bills that exceed its proposals. However, Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought has said the administration may still consider “impoundment” — withholding funds Congress has approved — if appropriations diverge from the White House’s plans, Politico reported.

“Impoundment is still on the table and something we will consider,” Vought said this week.

Several lawmakers have pushed back on that position. Critics say that such actions would violate the 1974 Budget Control Act, which restricts a president’s ability to unilaterally block spending approved by Congress.

Republican and Democratic lawmakers remain divided over the path forward as the Sept. 30 deadline to fund the government approaches. Republican Oklahoma House Appropriations Chair Tom Cole said that any attempt to win Senate Democratic support could cost Republican votes.

Congress has until the end of September to pass appropriations legislation or face a government shutdown.
