President Trump's Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Proposal

Where Things Stand

President Trump's 2027 budget proposal calls for a 40 percent increase in military spending and 73 billion dollars in cuts to health, housing, and education programs. This plan starts a high-stakes funding battle in Congress that could lead to a government shutdown if lawmakers cannot agree on spending levels. The proposal shifts federal priorities by significantly reducing domestic social services to fund a massive expansion of the Pentagon.
