On Tuesday, President Trump released his 2018 budget proposal. It makes deep cuts across many anti-poverty programs, slashing food stamps by more than a quarter and children’s health insurance by 19 percent.

The proposal — the first of what is expected to be many deep cuts to programs aimed at reducing poverty — comes two months after Trump released his “skinny budget” proposing changes to the discretionary budget, which includes most of the operating budget for executive agencies and national defense. The biggest cuts were to the arts, scientific research and foreign aid.





This new budget includes proposed changes to mandatory spending, which makes up about three-quarters of the total budget and is largely composed of anti-poverty programs.

See below what Trump plans to spend on some of these programs over the next 10 years, compared with what the Office of Management and Budget and Congressional Budget Office project they would cost without policy changes. For some programs, namely CHIP and the EITC, only a one- or four-year budget has been released.





Correction May 23, 2017: A previous version of this graphic did not include the ‘Allowance for Obamacare repeal and replace’ as part of the Medicaid budget. The cut is $877 billion, not $627 billion, over 10 years.
