Congress would increase expenditures for the military by 14 percent and double spending to protect Americans at home, Bush Proposes Defense Boost, Cuts Elsewhere 'New Realities' Drive Plan, President Says washingtonpost.com By Amy Goldstein and Mike Allen Washington Post Staff Writers Tuesday, February 5, 2002; Page A01 President Bush yesterday issued a $2.13 trillion spending plan for next year that would fundamentally reorder federal priorities, navigating the government into the largest defense buildup in a generation and imposing new constraints on many domestic programs. The budget that Bush proposed to Congress would increase expenditures for the military by 14 percent and double spending to protect Americans at home, while essentially denying additional funds to a wide swath of the government. The plan would cut the Justice and Labor departments' budgets and would provide no new money to the Agriculture, Commerce or Interior departments. Spending on education, the environment and space exploration would grow more slowly than inflation.
