WASHINGTON (AP) - Domestic priorities like federal aid to schools and health research are squeezed under President Bush's proposed budget for next year, but funding for the Pentagon, the war in Iraq and anti-terrorism efforts get impressive increases.
Monday's budget tome will have a price tag of more than $2.7 trillion. The departments of Education, Commerce, Interior and Energy — will see their budgets, on average, frozen or cut slightly below today's already austere levels.
The outline of the budget has emerged from a series of interviews with people familiar with various aspects of the proposal.
