In May, the Management and Budget Office submitted its discretionary budget application in a tax year, asking Kongres Find financing to programs accused of wasting dollars taxpayers pushing leftist ideology abroad. While the Committee for the Affairs of the Chamber has reduced or eliminated the financing of some applications, many remain untouched or barely corrected.
For example, OMB asked to eliminate the financing of the Asia and Eastern West Foundation, which previous administrations used to advise you to deal with China.
However, a representative of Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., Member of the Committee for the Affairs of the Chamber, which sponsored the Act, took into account only tiny cuts for both programs, reducing the Asia Foundation by $ 5 million and the Eastern Foundation by $ 5.3 million.
The Trump administration asked Congress to eliminate funds for the Democracy Fund, but national security, the Department of State and related programs appropriated $ 345 million into the foundation.
In a request to reduce democracy funds, the White House quoted that “American economic and development was directed to radical leftist priorities, including climate change, diversity, equality and inclusion (Dei) and LGBTQ activities around the world.”
OMB may continue to reduce expenses on programs financed by Congress as part of the resignation process.
Director of OMB “Russ Vought travels a series of resignations, pocket resignations and detention before September 30, which will ensure the way to deprive hundreds of billions of dollars from funds,” said the former main strategist of the White House Steve Bannon Daily signal.
House Republicans in the case of the Funds Committee rejected the White House proposal to master the administration of economic development.
OMB demanded $ 624 million cuts to the economic development administration, citing programs that “are not simply waste”, but “were kidnapped and act as the features of expenses for privileged politicians’ projects, as well as subsidies for ideals that give priority” racial capital “and a radicalized climate agenda.”
“[Economic Development Administration] He financed projects such as the resurrection of dead comedians as holograms at the National Comedy Center in New York, constructing “Plaza Pride” in Portland, Oregon and supporting Evergreen Climate Innovations, a “decarbonizing” group in Chicago, “says a discretionary budget application. [Economic Development Administration] He would lead economic decisions from Washington as well as States and towns. “

President Donald Trump demanded a 75% funding reduction Millennium Challenge Corporation In his discretionary budget application in 2026.
OMB asked for only $ 224 million of discretionary financing for the Millennium Challenge Corporation in the 2026 tax year, which is a decrease of $ 706 million from the tax year 2025.
However, House Republicans decided to keep funds at previous levels, $ 930 million.
The House Republican proposal for the 2026 budget year included full financing National Endowment for DemocracyAlthough Trump called for withdrawal.
The President’s budget demanded a solution to the Mars samples return program, but in the report of the Committee for the Affairs of the Chamber for the Act on matters of trade, justice, science and related agencies, the congress allocated $ 300 million on the mission.
The White House request stated that the mission of Mars’s return is “grossly over the budget.”
The president’s budget proposed to eliminate the native subsidy of the Hawaiian housing block and the native Hawaiian Fund for Housing Loans.
“The budget improves housing assistance for native Americans, eliminating competitive subsidy programs and focusing on the main subsidy in formulas for tribes,” says a discretionary application for a budget in the White House. “According to similar budget proposals eliminating housing programs, the budget eliminates the subsidy of the native Hawaiian apartment block. The program has large balances and only one scholarship holder who would be properly financed from the state of Hawaii.”
