Cuts Grow Deeper

From the Center On Budget and Policy Priorities

The Center has conducted further analysis of Administration budget materials, including an OMB computer run that was released inadvertently and that contains proposed funding levels by discretionary program for each of the next five years. The Center's new analysis examines how the budget would affect a range of specific domestic programs, including programs the President previously has described as high priority.

The new report also includes a state-by-state analysis of the impact of proposed budget reductions in specific programs.

Programs that the new analysis covers include, among others:

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Head Start and the Child Care and Development Block Grant

Food safety inspection

Special education and related services to children with disabilities, and several other education programs

Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program

Low-income homes energy assistance

EPA grants to states
