NPR’s got a good breakdown of the spending. Some highlights:
- $515,000,000,000 is the operating budget for our military
- $56,000,000,000 is the operating budget for our education system
- Thankfully, money is being poured into nuclear power
- The EPA is getting a serious cut ($500,000,000), mainly in clean water and sewage
- Other cuts are state and local law enforcement which is losing up to 75% of its federal funding. If this budget passes you can thank our president for your next speed-trap speeding ticket
