The federal government’s newly enacted budget is a massive “omnibus” act that spends $1.3 trillion and makes some members of Congress pleased and others angry. It’s a document that reflects a broken budget system. And, at the same time, it’s a business as usual document in a presidential administration that has promised structural change. But the bill is also good for Indian Country. Federal Indian programs, some of which had been slated for either elimination or deep cuts, continued on course.
