Budget seeks to slash domestic programs
Posted on: Monday, 6 February 2006, 10:03 CST
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Monday proposed a $2.77 trillion 2007 budget that cuts domestic programs from community policing to Medicare while bolstering security spending as he seeks to tame a soaring deficit.
Facing election-year pressure from conservative Republicans to get tougher on spending, Bush asked the U.S. Congress to virtually freeze discretionary programs outside national security.
