President Trump has unveiled a budget proposal that includes substantial cuts of $163 billion to non-defense-related programs. Notable reductions affect the CDC, whose budget would be more than halved, as well as major safety net programs. Conversely, the Department of Defense budget is proposed to rise to $1.01 trillion, representing a 13 percent increase. Despite steep cuts in other areas, the budget includes a new $1 billion initiative for NASA to send humans to Mars, which aligns with the interests of billionaire Elon Musk and his enterprises, raising concerns about conflicts of interest.
