Bush Budget Plan Boosts Highways, Military Work, Trims Water Programs
President Bush's $2.8-trillion budget proposal for fiscal year 2007 seeks to cut domestic discretionary spending, hitting some construction accounts, but there are bright construction spots, particularly highways and military construction, which would be in line for increases.
Besides the regular budget, the administration also says it will seek $52.3 billion in supplemental spending, most of which is expected to go to the war in Iraq.
