Abstract:
In recent weeks, the Administration has devoted much talk to new domestic spending initiatives. In his State of the Union address, the President lauded the benefits of new funding for education, anti-drug, and prisoner re-entry programs. The actual amount of resources proposed for these initiatives, however, is very small. Altogether, resources for the Administration’s domestic program initiatives, as either proposed in the State of the Union address or reported by the media in recent weeks, constitute about three percent of the cost just of making the tax cuts permanent.
