Earlier this year, President Donald Trump released his proposed budget for 2017, which featured cuts to programs<\/a> that bolster the lived experiences of people of color living in America. Now, his administration is releasing its vision for 2018\u2014and critics are worried<\/a> that it will further decrease quality of life for many while bolstering the bottom lines of the wealthy<\/p>\n

Office of Management and Budget director Mick Mulvaney held an \u201coff-camera\u201d press briefing<\/a> yesterday (May 22) to detail key points of the fiscal year 2018 budget, which is titled \u201cA New Foundation for American Greatness.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the briefing, Mulvaney explained his view of the budget, which cuts spending by $3.6 trillion over the course of 10 years. From the transcript<\/a>, provided by the White House:<\/p>\n

\n

If I had sort of a subtitle for this budget, it would be the Taxpayer First Budget. This is I think the first time in a long time that an administration has written a budget through the eyes of the people who are actually paying the taxes. So often in Washington I think we look only on the recipient side: How does the budget affect those who either receive or don’t receive benefits?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As The Washington Post<\/a> details, the $4.094 trillion budget request would cut funding to safety-net programs to the tune of $1 trillion over ten years, with drastic reductions in funding to Medicaid, food assistance, the Children\u2019s Health Insurance Program and other programs aimed at aiding people living in poverty.<\/p>\n

Mulvaney will detail the budget today (May 23) at 11:00 a.m.\u2014the same time the full text<\/a> is released to the public. Watch the briefing above.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n
