President Bush proposed a $2.77 trillion budget that would increase spending on the military and homeland security while cutting domestic programs like education and farm subsidies, and curbing the growth of Medicare spending. He also wants to make his tax cuts permanent, reducing projected federal revenue by $1.35 trillion over the next decade. Democrats said Mr. Bush's emphasis on tax cuts created a false choice between reining in the budget deficit and keeping necessary social programs.
