This illustration very readily demonstrates how small the actual discretionary part is in the budget.

Esp., if you are like the Republicans who are saying that the Defense budget is untouchable.

My understanding is that the GOP wants to cut medical and scientific research quite dramatically. Whereas the Obama budget wants an inflationary increase.

Very interesting.

Has Obama asked his staff to cut $100 million from the budget yet?
