President Obama Releases FY 2010 Budget Proposal

Today President Obama formally released the administration’s FY 2010 budget proposal. Administration officials may make further changes to the budget to respond to changing economic conditions. The roughly $3.7 trillion plan contains the details the House and Senate Appropriations committees need to put together their annual spending bills. White House Budget Director Peter R. Orszag said there would be “some modest” changes in economic assumptions, mostly technical, and projected deficits as a result of changes in the economy since the administration released its budget outline in February.
