Trumps 2023 Budget: A Massive Military Boost and Deep Cuts to Non-Defense Spending
President Trumps latest budget proposal calls for a significant increase in military spending, with a 500 billion dollar boost and a pre-World War Two level defense buildup. However, this comes amidst a backdrop of soaring gas prices and a ballooning national deficit. The proposal also includes deep cuts to non-defense spending, such as a 19% reduction in agriculture, 12.5% in health, and 52% in the EPA. Despite these cuts, defense gets a cash infusion for shipbuilding and missile shields. The proposal is expected to face stiff opposition from Democrats and could lead to more budget battles as the midterms approach.
