[...] this year Republicans are promising to use spending bills to attack Obama's signature health care law and to roll back his order giving some immigrants relief from deportation. Previewing the detailed document to be released Monday, the White House said it would call for spending about $74 billion more next year than the painful automatic cuts Obama signed into law in that 2011 deal commonly known as the "sequester." Obama would roughly divide the extra money he seeks between the military and domestic programs, such as college aid, medical research and child care. The White House, without giving details yet, says Obama would offset his spending increases by cutting inefficient programs and closing tax loopholes. Many lawmakers in both parties, eyeing terror attacks and trouble spots around the globe, are anxious to help. Obama's proposal to raise the defense budget by $38 billon would allow for more ships and fighter jets. By bundling the military increase with more domestic spending, Obama will pressure Republicans eager to boost the military budget to give in to some of his priorities. Will Republicans insist on holding the line on spending, even if it means the Pentagon has to go without, too? [...] how far are Democratic lawmakers and Obama willing to go in using national defense as a bargaining chip? The budget carries thousands and thousands of decisions about concrete things the government does — like paying park rangers, Border Patrol agents and workers who answer IRS help lines. Spending money for air traffic control, medical research and food inspection. [...] the budget minutia that federal agencies sweat over and congressional committees are charged with overseeing is what keeps the U.S.
