Since we were talking budgets a bit ago, and how the GOP doesn't stop spending, this is happening:
I have been putting together a spread sheet of spending per capita and revenue per capita. I might expand it to include households and related.The Pentagon*s budget is going to fall from $716 billion in 2019 to $700 billion (2.3 percent) in 2020. The US military had been planning on a $733 billion budget in 2020 but Trump has ordered a 5% budget cut.
In Fiscal Year 2019, the federal budget will be $4.407 trillion. The budget cut will not change medicare or social security or interest payment (total of about $2.5 trillion). A 5% budget cut across the board would cut about $100 billion. This would keep deficits stable at about $800 billion.
The order to cut came directly from Office of Management and Budget director Mick Mulvaney. All federal agencies and departments had been ordered to make 5% budget cuts.
In his most recent cabinet meeting, President Trump called on every department head to come to the next meeting with a plan to cut 5% of their budgets.
And interesting bit is how to adjust it to include total Government and State spending. Interesting bit, since it is all tax, is the biggest portion of the spending pie when you include states is Healthcare, and then Pensions:
