Some info from the Washington Post.
And a bit more from the Atlantic:
Here are the biggest cuts listed by House Appropriations Committee Republicans:
•$6.516 billion from Defense Department and Air Force construction. This includes $6.237 billion from Defense Dept. construction and another $279 million from the Air Force's Overseas Contingency Operations fund.
•$6.2 billion from Census funds. Makes sense, given that the 10-year Census is now complete.
•$3.13 billion from highway-funding rescissions (highway money that hasn't yet been given out in contracts) and old highway earmarks
•$2.9 billion from high-speed rail funds
•$1.885 billion from Commerce, Justice and Science rescissions
•$1.045 billion from HIV, AIDS, viral hepatitis, STD, and TB prevention programs under the Departments of Health and Human Services and Labor
•$997 million Clean and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds under the Interior Department
•$942 million community development fund under the Department of Housing and Urban Development
•$812 million from General Services Agency construction funds (GSA handles contracting for construction of government buildings)
•$786 million from FEMA first-responder grants
•$638 million from Defense Environmental Cleanup
