but the budget isn't all cuts. It proposes, for example, to create a new wildfire agency under Interior, consolidating the fire fighting efforts taking over from Dept of Ag. Unclear rn how that fits into the budget, a more detailed budget will come out in the next few weeks.

An example of cost shifting -- the proposal eliminates the Indian Guaranteed Loan Program for tribal businesses, because it is “duplicative” ie there are other loan programs across the federal government that Native American businesses could apply to instead.

Another National Park Service cut: . $158 million for NPS historic preservation, because the White House says states can do it. (some of the cost savings in this proposal assumes costs can be shifted to states or other agencies can pick up the slack.).

Some others Interior Department cuts in Trumps proposal: .*$80 million to renewable energy programs (back of the napkin math says that's near the whole bucket for existing offshore energy and onshore energy).

The proposed cuts, coming alongside efforts to shrink the roughly 2 million strong federal workforce, underscore Trump's desire to shrink govt. spending ahead of effort to make broad tax cuts.

The idea is one in a suite of cuts the White House wants Congress to approve (remember president's budgets are a bit of wishlish reflecting their priorities. But members of Congress, some with a deep history setting agencies $$, ultimately decide).

In what would be a dramatic shift for the @NatlParkService, the Trump admin's "skinny" budget proposes handing over the cost and responsibility of some parks to states
