Current budget appears to be (via https://taxfoundation.org/research/all/federal/trump-tax-cut... )

> $5.3 trillion in deficit-financed tax cuts (the combination of $3.8 trillion of tax cuts assumed to be “costless” under a current policy baseline plus $1.5 trillion in additional deficits permitted), deficit increases of $521 billion on defense and immigration spending, a minimum of $4 billion in spending cuts, and an increase in the debt limit of up to $5 trillion.

So savings plus new borrowing will be funded to tax cuts, which will likely prioritize those already on higher incomes, and corporations.
