What follows is a list of everything that President Trump’s budget proposal calls for eliminating funding for entirely and how much those cuts are estimated to save.
In many cases, the proposal calls for ending these efforts because the Trump administration believes they are wasteful, outdated, duplicative, their impact is unproven, or they handle matters that should be funded by states or private sources.
