Abstract
The Trump Administration sent its proposed budget to the U.S. Congress on March
16. A key provision of the budget is an increase in the Department of Defense (DoD)
budget by $54 billion dollars, a 10% increase. At the same time, this proposal
decreases the budget of the State Department by $10.1 billion, or 28%. This illconsidered
maneuver will only serve to increase our nation’s insecurity. Of
particular concern is that no strategy is attached to the DoD's increased funding.
Rather than a strategy or plan, the basis for such important decisions appears to be
political or even personal.
