Quote:
Under the five-year plan, the government will spend $11.2 million annually on IBI; $5 million to improve services for autistic children aged six to 18; $3 million for autistic adults, and $9.8 million for respite care and specialized housing. What’s more, the government is kicking in $1.2 million in a lump sum for research.

Guest that they are now willing to spend a little bit of money after all the cuts this government made in the public services; though 11.2 of those millions go for behavioral therapy, which is useless. They may want to help autistic adults, which may be a good thing, but may also mean producing cheap labor.

Trump wants to spend much on the military.
