    Ah. That should probably be in the headline then, instead of just “spending” and “funding”.

    Regardless, the figures are still inaccurate.

    The $1.6 trillion in discretionary spending for FY24 is split between $842 billion for defense programs and $758 billion for nondefense activities, reflecting respective 3% and 7% boosts from FY23 enacted levels.
