text: Departments are funded, and it is the departments which decide where to spend the money allotted. Only the Dems reach the conclusion that not raising (flat) the  budget means a cut. As with most of Trump's budget, more money is provided once the internal waste is removed. As far as no money to patrol the National Monument.  Maybe that is not high on the priority list. Interesting that  a political party and State which are rebelling against the President want him to give their projects more money.  And since now the Dems are arguing for State rights on nearly all matters, by this standard isn't some of the rescue aspects the State responsibility?
