Posted By: mozell fleming on February 18, 2011 Will they pick up trash less? Or like N.J. cut fire and Police? Will all the park rangers be laid off? What services do Americans enjoy that other countries not have? What would you be willing by force or choice to do without? Public Librarys? Rail and Bus transportation? Highway/city county road repair and maitenance? Domestic spending is what exactly...Does anyone know?

I am searching for detailed info also wrote the white house...here is some info from bloombergs I will dig deeper... Half of Obama’s proposed savings come from defense programs and half from areas outside the Department of Defense. Some program cuts or terminations were announced earlier. Yucca Mountain The administration proposes saving $91 million by eliminating funding for plans to store nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. “The nation needs a better solution than the proposed Yucca Mountain repository,” the document says. The budget plan requests $197 million to explore other options for disposing of the material. The administration proposes beginning in 2011 to pare a terrorism risk insurance program created after the Sept. 11 attacks which it called an “excessive federal subsidy” to private insurers. That would generate $21 million in savings that year and a total of $263 million by 2014. The budget seeks $533.8 billion for the Defense Department, excluding war costs, reflecting a 2 percent real increase when adjusted for inflation. That compares with an average 4 percent annual real increase under Bush. Among the defense programs that would be cut or canceled are those managed by Lockheed Martin Corp., Boeing Co., General Electric Co. and Rolls Royce Plc, among the world’s largest makers of military engines. Obama is making good on his promise to scrap plans for a new presidential helicopter, for which Lockheed was the main contractor. The budget called for the elimination of the program to upgrade so-called “Marine One” because it is six years behind schedule and its cost has ballooned to more than $13 billion from previous estimates of $6.5 billion. Infrastructure The president proposes creation of a $5 billion national infrastructure bank to fund large projects such as renovating roads, bridges and waterways, fulfilling a campaign pledge. He also would provide a 60 percent boost to EPA programs to improve drinking water and wastewater treatment plants nationwide. The president wants to cut $4 million in funds used to help monitor union spending and shift the money to programs that provide workplace safety and wage protection for workers. Obama proposed an 8 percent increase in the IRS’s budget, to $12.1 billion. Most of that would be a $400 million increase in resources devoted to tax law enforcement, including the hiring of 800 new revenue agents to pursue scofflaws. The administration estimated the new employees and resources would collect an additional $2 billion in revenue by fiscal 2012. Carmaker Loans The U.S. Energy Department will issue $10 billion in loans this year to carmakers and car-parts suppliers and $15 billion more next year, according to the budget documents. The $25 billion loan program was authorized in 2007 legislation to support development of more efficient vehicles. General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC have all applied for funding. No loans have yet been issued. The Environmental Protection Agency would spend 60 percent more money to improve drinking water and sewage treatment plants, according to the budget documents. The administration’s budget for the Health and Human Services Department calls for spending $1.72 billion over five years “to fight health-care fraud and reduce improper payments.” The new spending will save $2.67 billion, according to the budget proposal. Physician Payments It also assumes that Congress will halt the scheduled cut in payments from Medicare to physicians. Obama proposed setting aside $11.7 billion to maintain doctors’ fees at their current level in fiscal 2010. The Food and Drug Administration budget would increase 14 percent in fiscal 2010 to $3.04 billion. Food producers and generic drug manufacturers would pay fees for the first time to have the FDA inspect their goods, according to the budget document. The Democratic-controlled Congress adopted a $3.55 trillion outline for the 2010 budget that embraces Obama’s top agenda items, including a health-care overhaul, a push for renewable, clean-energy sources and changes in education funding. it may be a bit dated I will find more condense and do my best to explain...bear with me Friday, February 18th 2011 at 7:03PM |
