Trump is asking that they don’t spend all the money approved in the CAP busting proposal that they approved.
WASHINGTON — President Trump’s 2019 budget proposal will include $23 billion for border security and immigration enforcement, $21 billion for infrastructure, and $17 billion to combat the opioid epidemic.
Those are among the highlights released by the White House in advance of the budget’s formal transmission to Congress on Monday.
That’s the first step toward filling in the details of a two-year budget framework passed by Congress last week, which increased caps on both military and domestic spending. That compromise — specifically designed to win the support of Senate Democrats and avoid a filibuster — ended an 8-hour partial government shutdown Friday and signaled a budget truce for at least the next 19 months.
