Deep(er) Dive: President Releases Second Round of Budget Documents

As a follow up to our analysis of the President’s budget proposal, ANCOR is sharing supplemental documents released by the White House to provide more details to the initial proposal. These documents, linked to below, lay out the rational that informed the White House’s decision-making and lay out program by program budget analyses. Also, another reminder that the President’s budget request is just that, a request from Congress, so nothing is in stone. However, ANCOR is paying most attention to proposals that are regulatory in nature and can be implemented without Congressional action.
