During us from capitol hill is nancy, senior Congressional Correspondent for bloomberg. Tell us about what the president requested for 2018 and what were his Top Priorities. The president stuck with the overall number in the loss, the budget control act, requesting that basically a little bit over a trillion dollars, 1. 1 trillion as the law allows for but with in and that number we really parted from the budget control act numbers and he requested a lot more for defense programs about 54 billion for securityrelated programs and covers that with an equal amount of cuts in nondefense spending, 54 billion. Thats a violation of the budget control act there but more than that its a very politically unpopular. Yes, members really like the defense number increase but they dont like taking it out of defense programs, agriculture, cut more than 20 . Transportation, federal housing programs, cut 15 . Labor, health, education rams, cut similarly. State department programs, cut tremendously. Cong
