Chapter 2: What are the key points of the White House's first budget proposal for President Trump's second term?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst. The White House is out with its first budget proposal of President Trump's second term. It's an incomplete budget outline known as a skinny budget. But as NPR's Daniel Kurtzleben reports, it nevertheless shows that Trump wants to make further drastic changes to government.
The White House budget proposal includes sharp cuts to an array of agencies like the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Internal Revenue Service. The proposal would match those non-defense cuts with increases to defense spending.
Chapter 3: How does the proposed budget affect defense and homeland security spending?
All told, the White House proposes increasing defense spending by 13 percent, as well as a 65 percent increase in spending on homeland security. That money would go in part towards mass deportations, as well as completing the border wall. The president's budget is only a proposal. Congress passes spending bills.
Chapter 4: What role does executive action play in the Trump administration's budget plans?
However, Trump has shown he's willing to act unilaterally via executive orders at his Department of Government efficiency. Danielle Kurtzleben, NPR News.
