The $1.7 trillion budget for fiscal year 2000, which begins 1 October, would channel surplus revenue into tax cuts and the Social Security program while requiring steep reductions in future discretionary domestic programs. But the gloomy resolution comes with a silver lining: There is almost no chance that Congress will stick to its numbers when appropriators sit down next month to begin setting spending levels for each agency.
