GOPDD: Obama’s $4.1 Trillion Final Budget Is Riddled With Spending Increases, Tax Hikes

By Jen - Feb 9, 2016

(Via Daily Caller) President Barack Obama unveiled his $4.1 trillion final budget proposal Tuesday, which called for a near-5 percent increase in spending and $2.6 trillion in tax increases over the course of 10 years.
Just $1.21 trillion of his plan would be allocated toward discretionary spending – with defense receiving $601 billion and $614 billion going toward non-defense programs. An additional $59 billion was requested by the administration for Overseas Contingency Operations fund, remaining consistent with the 2016 fiscal year levels.
