Schools Win; NASA Loses

President Obama delivered his proposed 2011 budget to Congress today, and the Washington Post drills down to find the winners and losers. Winners first:

• K-12 education: The Department of Education's budget will increase by 6%, or $3 billion.
• Research: The proposal pumps up the Energy Department's budget 7%, or $2 billion, and the National Science Foundation's budget climbs 8%.
• The military: The Defense Department's budget rises 3.4%, and that's not counting spending on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

Losers:

• Nonprofit s: Obama is looking to cut the amount higher-income taxpayers can deduct for donations to charities and universities.
• Would-be visitors to the moon: The budget eliminates NASA's Constellation program, which aimed to return humans to the moon.
• Low-income workers: The advance earned income tax credit, which funneled the EITC back into wage-earners' paychecks instead of making them wait until refund time, disappears.
