A $100B exception that wipes out all of their own-the-libs cuts

The amount they plan on raising defense spending by more than cancels all other things we plan to save, even before considering tax cuts. At the current rate, the national deficit (rate of growth of national debt) is expected to be about double what it was (on average, over four years) compared to the last presidency.

Not to mention that the Department of Defense has never passed a financial audit in the last seven years and money frequently disappears into contractors who are known to delay projects on purpose to make more money.

It only sounds like an exception because you group it into one big chunk.

If you actually split up the line items to the point where NASA and the NSF are separate it would be 9 exceptions or more.
