But they come entirely from the discretionary budget.
然而，这些削减项目全是自由考量支出的预算。
The Department of Education’s discretionary budget for the 2008 fiscal year was about $60 billion.
教育部可自由支配的资金去年为600亿元。
Include an amount of discretionary money into your budget to spend on things that you might not desperately need, but would make you smile.
包括大量在你预算内可以自由决定的金钱用来花费在一些你不是非常渴望但是可以让你微笑的东西上。

So what we've done is we've taken a scalpel to the discretionary budget rather than a machete.
