Senior defense officials suppressed a study documenting $125 billion worth of administrative waste at the Pentagon out of fears that Congress would use its findings to cut the defense budget, the Washington Post reported late Monday.

Also, I'll happily bet you $100 that Trump's budget will not pass as written. I'll even go anywhere up to $10k on the bet. Put your money where your mouth is.
Nothing that you posted is at odds with what I've posted. Nothing.

Also, most budgets that Prezes submit are not "passed as written".

Got any original thoughts floating around in your head?
