President Obama proposed a $3.8 trillion fiscal 2011 budget Monday that administration officials are touting as a prescription for both adding jobs to the economy and reducing deficits over the next decade.

Obama proposed $1.16 trillion in discretionary spending, not including military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. That would be a 2.7 percent increase over the $1.13 trillion set to be spent in fiscal 2010.

The administration has broken this spending into two categories: security and non-security spending. Security spending would increase by 5.2 percent, to $719.2 billion, while non-security spending would drop by $5 billion, or 1.1 percent, to $441.3 billion.

Obama is proposing a three-year “freeze” on spending for non-security programs, limiting it to the $446.3 billion provided in fiscal 2010. However, some agencies and programs will still see spending increases under the plan, while others are frozen or cut.

“Let me clear about this freeze. It is not across-the-board,” White House Budget Director Peter R. Orszag said.

Most of the drop in non-security spending from 2010 to 2011 is due to a decrease in the budget for the Census Bureau, which received $7.2 billion in fiscal 2010 as it prepared for the decennial census. The administration is requesting $1.3 billion for the agency in fiscal 2011, which doesn’t begin until Oct. 1, after the census will be largely completed.

Elementary and secondary education, civilian research and development, and airport security services would be winners, while big banks and fossil fuel companies would take hits.

“Moving from recession to recovery, and ultimately to prosperity, remains at the heart of my administration’s efforts,” Obama said. “This budget provides a blueprint for the work ahead.”

Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, the top GOP member of the Budget Committee, said “the president has sent us more of the same — a budget that claims to be fiscally responsible, but just below the surface contains more spending, more borrowing and more taxes. After a year in office that has put us on a pace to double the debt by 2013, the president should have a tougher plan to address our fiscal crisis, because this budget will solve nothing.”
