Original Note:
Some House Republicans have proposed "capping discretionary spending at fiscal 2022 levels." If applied across the board, that budget would keep the FBI and ATF's budget steady, versus increasing it. Neither side has proposed actual cuts to the two agencies' budgets. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/white-house-counter-gops-soft-crime-attacks-targeting-far-right-budget-rcna75700 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/white-house-accuses-gop-defunding-law-enforcement
