Trump’s Fiscal 2019 Budget Request

The Trump administration released a $4.4 trillion budget for fiscal 2019 following a deal in Congress that increased spending caps for two years. The budget proposes defense spending in line with those limits, but nondefense spending that’s about $57 billion less.

The OnPoint outlines the budget request’s deficit projections over the next 10 years, proposed changes to mandatory and discretionary spending, and an agency-by-agency look at proposed funding levels and policy priorities.
