Is the link to the Obama budget.

I wonder of the $845 billion for the global poverty act is included in there too.

Thanks for that.

I'm sure you're right about the total--just glancing at it it looks more like about 400 in new spending, not 825. But I may not be reading it right.

Either way, one thing that isn't included in those numbers is increased revenues from allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire for taxpayers earning over 200,000 a year, which Obama has pledged to do. I don't know what kind of revenues we're talking about, but according to factcheck.org the Bush tax cuts, set to expire in 2010, cost the U.S. Gov't 1.1 trillion per year.
