How Would Your Agency Do Under Biden's 2024 Budget Request?
Only two Cabinet level departments would see decreases under the plan.
President Biden’s $6.9 trillion fiscal 2024 budget proposal would give almost every major agency an increase in discretionary spending over this year’s enacted levels. The only question is how much.
Budget boosts in the 2024 plan ranged from 1.6% for the Housing and Urban Development Department to 19.2% for the Environmental Protection Agency. Overall, non-defense base discretionary spending would rise 7.3% over the enacted levels this year, while defense spending would grow 3.3%.
The Homeland Security and Transportation departments would be the only Cabinet-level agencies to see decreases over 2023 enacted spending levels, with DHS losing 1% and Transportation, 2.9%. The Army Corps of Engineers would see a decrease of 14.4% and the Small Business Administration, 8.2%.
