Som bekant utlovar Trump öka USA:s militärutgifter
Citat:
President Trump will propose raising military spending by $54 billion — a nearly 10 percent increase — and reducing spending by the same amount across much of the rest of the government, White House officials said on Monday.
Det intressant är var han tänker sänka uppgifterna.
Citat:
A senior budget official told reporters that most federal agencies would experience a reduction as a result of the increases in military spending. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said foreign aid would face a significant decrease.
The official did not explain why foreign aid, which is a very small fraction of overall government spending and is connected to security concerns abroad, was being targeted for steep reductions.
Citat:
Mr. Trump’s proposals will shield entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security from cuts, according to White House officials.
But the increases in military spending will be offset by calls for deep cuts at the Environmental Protection Agency, the State Department and social safety-net programs, the officials said.
Detta är mycket intressant (om det stämmer eftersom det känns som att NY Times sysslar ofta med "agendasättande" DN-journalistik).
Det sämsta med USA är ju deras utrikespolitik. Och Trump tänker minska deras utgifter. Cooooool
