Here’s the spending Trump and the GOP could cut — and Democrats couldn’t stop

President Trump and congressional Republicans could target up to about $117 billion in spending on nondefense government programs this year, leaving Democrats unable to do anything about it.

That figure represents the difference between the Trump administration’s request for domestic nondefense spending and the levels reflected in the omnibus spending bill Congress passed on a bipartisan basis last month.

Now, the Trump administration is preparing to claw back some of the spending set in the omnibus via the Impoundment Act, a tool not used in recent years.

Why would they stop it? They are spending at a faster rate than Obama. If they happened to cut 100 billion in these programs, it will just be offset by the 1.5 trillion dollar infrastructure package or 1 trillion y.o.y. spending increase in other areas.
