The request also includes $706 million in scorekeeping comprised of negative subsides, cancellations, and change in mandatory programs. The 2024 request for mandatory programs is $180.6 billion, a $34.0 billion decrease from 2023 enacted levels. USDA is requesting a total of $213.2 billion in 2024 for discretionary and mandatory programs. Compared to 2023, this amount represents a decrease of around $29.3 billion. The budget assumes a pay cost increase of 5.2 percent and includes an increase of $454.8 million across the Department to cover the pay and benefit increases. https://www.usda.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2024-usda-budget-summary.pdf can't be much waste here, can there? 2025 https://www.usda.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2025-usda-budget-summary.pdf Edited March 14 by Crnr2Crnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
