President Obama released his $4.1 trillion Budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2016-17, which was sent to the Congress on Tuesday. The Budget includes the President’s eighth and final Budget requests, but the specific proposals have a difficult path forward with a Republican-controlled Congress.
Congress is currently under a two-year Budget deal that was passed at the end of 2015. Accordingly, while Congress can increase or decrease funding for certain programs, overall funding will remain essentially static.
