THE NEWEST PAUL RYAN BUDGET: GUNS OR BUTTER?

The answer is...GUNS.  From the online summary:

  • This budget funds defense at levels that keep America safe by providing $554 billion for the next fiscal year$6.2 trillion over the next decade – for national defense spending, an amount that is consistent with America’s military goals and strategies.

  • This budget replaces the indiscriminate reduction in defense spending scheduled to take place under the sequester with targeted reductions in non-defense mandatory spending. This protects defense from cuts that would jeopardizes critical missions and the well-being of soldiers and their families.
