MAJOR SAVINGS AND REFORMS IN THE PRESIDENT'S 2018 BUDGET This volume describes major savings and reform proposals included in the 2018 President's Budget. It includes both discretionary and mandatory savings proposals that bring Federal spending under control and return the Federal budget to balance within 10 years. These proposals encompass a common sense approach to redefine the proper role of the Federal Government, and curtail programs that fall short on results or provide little return to the American people. In total, this volume highlights 2018 savings of $57.3 billion in discretionary programs, including $26.7 billion in program eliminations and $30.6 billion in reductions. The volume also describes the major mandatory proposals summarized in Table S-6 of the Budget volume. Going forward, the Administration will build on these proposals in order to implement the President's charge to create a leaner, more accountable, less intrusive, and more effective Government.
